SUMMER AT YALE!

Our founder, spent the summer at University nuancing directorial practices with some fantastic instructors - Evan Younillis, Patrick Madden, Pat Diamond he/him/his, Jennifer Archibald, Andrew F. Griffin, James Mountcasyle, Danna Tanner Kennedy, Michael Rossmy and Kelsey Rainwater!

Conversations and praxis around anti-oppression, combat and intimacy, dramaturgy, power and contextual awareness helped us look critically at our work.

But most importantly, the decades and decades worth of collective faculty experience helped us better structure our directorial practices in devised and improvised drama, all leading to better research and documentation! So excited to see where all these learnings will take us.

📢 REGISTRATIONS FOR CURTAIN CALL OPEN 📢

For May, we will be reading another interesting play at Curtain Call — The Love Suicides at Amijima, classic Bunraku play (puppet theatre) by Chikamatsu Monzaemon, written and performed around 1720 as Shinjū ten no Amijima. The play looks at the outcome of the brothel system through delving into themes of s*x work, desire and mental health, specifically from the perspective of the women working at these places. Like most of Chikamatsu’s more than 20 love-suicide dramas, it was based on an actual event.

It was with the plays written by Monzaemon that Puppet theatre reached its height in the 18th century. In 2003 UNESCO declared Bunraku a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

🔷 22th May | 4pm IST | 10.30am GMT

🎭 Snippets from our TO Workshop

As a part of Thought Project's Theatre of the Oppressed Workshop in Mumbai, the participants put up their first ever Forum Performances as a culmination of their rigourous training in TO spanning over 48 hours.

The performances covered some of the themes around social justice that came up in discussions during the workshop like discrimination along the axis of gender and caste.

These pictures capture some magical moments from the forum performances that day!
