Senior theatre artiste Prof. S.R. Ramesh inaugurates 10-day performing workshop

Mysore/Mysuru: “An actor should keep in mind that theatre is not just a tool of entertainment but a reflection of the society,” mentioned senior theatre artiste Prof. S.R. Ramesh. He was talking after inaugurating the 10-day performing workshop organised collectively by Parivartana Ranga Samaja and Namana Kala Vedike at Namana Kala Mantapa in Krishnamurthypuram right here yesterday.

“Theatre is not limited to entertainment. Giving message and creating awareness too becomes important here. Theatre should act as a reflection of the society by adapting the social behaviour into theatre. Hence, an actor should understand this intention and responsibility,” he noticed.

“In acting, dialogue delivery and body language are very important. Hence, the workshop will focus more on these two factors. Acting becomes easy, if one has even minimum knowledge of theatre. So, along with acting skills, an actor should know various other factors involved in acting,” mentioned the senior theatre artiste including that today many are attracted in the direction of theatre and the variety of folks taking on theatre has elevated manifold.

Senior theatre artiste Anuradha Nandakumar, who too spoke on the event, mentioned: “It is said that in communication, only 7% is vocal and rest 93% is through body language. If an actor understands this, then  he can gain proficiency in acting skills.”

A complete of 10 members are collaborating within the performing workshop which might be held between 6 pm and eight.30 pm on a regular basis.

Workshop Director R. Yashaswini, Parivarthana Ranga Samaja Secretary Madhava Khare and others have been current in the course of the inauguration.
