PERINEUM ( A retributive Justice)

"Perineum" (A retributive justice) Design and Directed by Abhilash Pillai Lights by Murali Basa

Performance Process:

It was a herculean task to provide some directorial visuals and evocative imageries for a narrative like this.Therefore we thought of breaking up the story line into Units,Dividing six students into three groups,devising,improvising every unit of the story into three different versions.Then picked up workable ideas from  the three versions of improvised inputs and putting them t make one single final unit.

Being Production Manager :

For me, the process was very interesting initially. The process was turned into more difficult to execute the ideas of the students. Identifying the problem, giving a solution and made the necessary arrangements to the students is a versatile job which  i have done in the process. The production process on the sets started on 15th Aprl, 2012. And we have an Idea to open the show out side the department. As the whether is not at good condition during those 5 days we decided to perform in the studio 2 of the space 40 ft 40 ft. The performance space is occupied half of the studio. So that we can accommodate only 25 audience.

Lights Design
 
In this play I used the projector as the source of light. Multi colour lighting through the projector had given a colour ful effect n the stage. As the studio s too small to mount the lights I used more crossed light. And The lighting from the projector helped me for the visibility of the actors who is on the stage.

RUSTUM AUR SHORAB

'Rustum aur Shorab'
Designed and Directed by Kanaih, Lights Design by Murali Basa

The play was Designed and Directed by Mr. Kaniah, who is a guest faculty of S.N.School of Fine Arts and Communication, University of Hyderabad. This play was performed at "VRITTAYANA", which was opened with this performance. As the play has the complexity, I had designed the lighting in a colourful way to understand the nature of the play. Even though we had a small equipment we could able to create a different illusion to make enrich the production quality. It was a challenging job for me to manage all those lights in a 10 channel dimmer. The following video will give much more idea in creating the visual idea of the space and the acting co-relation according to the space.
