A STREET PLAY ON AIDS

A street Play on AIDS at Seethafal Mandi

Being an actor, narrating a street play on AIDS has given me an experience to participate in the Community Theatre. Performing a street play is not a new form to the theatre, but where as the experience which I got it from the performance on AIDS has given me a chance to show my spontaneous acting skills. As a narrator (known as 'joker' in Community Theatre) of the play, I experienced some very interesting situations during the performance.  Due to the active participation of the people from slum, their ignorance and illiteracy on AIDS, I had to deeply interact with them.  

The pictures represent the performance at Seethafal Mandi 'basti', with the association of SAKSHI, a unit of AIDS at Osmania University, Hyderabad.

This play 'JAMEELA' is directed by Gargi Bharadwaj on March 8th 2011, on the occasion of woman's day  at NIFT auditorium, Hyderabad and in National Theatre Festival, Kozhikkodu, Kerala. The play is an adoption of an auto biography of a sex worker in Kerala. Being an actor in this play, I performed three roles as Politician, Activist and The Head Constable. Apart from Acting I designed the flyer. It was a kind of experience where I have done multi faceted work. It has given me organizing skills  and improvements in my acting skills. It also allowed me to realize about the flexible design for a play.
