Carson’s training was in the classics\, which spurred in her a wide-ranging interest in comparative literature\, anthro pology\, history and the arts. Hers is a quintessentially interdisciplinar y mind\, and her work feels like jewels studded with the gemstones of anci ent Greek and Latin literature (Sappho\, Catullus\, Stesichorus\, for inst ance) and of writers such as Virginia Woolf\, Keats and Gertrude Stein.\n\ nFormally\, her work may be best described as cross-genre. It is the spiri t of playfulness and enquiry that drives all of Carson’s work\, making e ach of her books different from the others. Her playfulness precludes neit her depth nor rigour\, as borne out by every single work of hers. \n\nAs a writer\, Srilata has learnt a lot about craft from Carson and will be sha ring the subtle ways in which reading Carson helped shape her own writing. \n\nThis lecture is organised in collaboration with Infosys Science Founda tion.

The exception is mime\, which is non-verbal by definition.\nIn this session\, three theatre artists will speak about what attracted them to physical the atre and describe the nature of their involvement in the teaching and prac tice of this stylised form of performance. As their work as directors and actors has also extended beyond physical theatre\, they will reflect on th e reasons for their divergent artistic choices.\nPhysical theatre has many strengths. Most notably\, it can overcome language barriers\, express wha t words cannot\, connect with audiences at a visceral level\, harness the ideas and creativity of the whole group\, and rely on minimalist scenograp hy. But equally\, it is constrained by the very characteristics that set i t apart from other theatre styles. This session will conclude with a discu ssion on the limits of physical theatre and the creative strategies that c an prevent style from overshadowing substance.\nFor enquiries please conta ct: 50yearsofinlaks@gmail.com GEO:12.98348;77.61102 LOCATION:Sabha\, 262\, Kamaraj Road\, Shivaji Nagar\, Bengaluru\, India STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Physical Theatre: Its Possibilities and Limits - A Conversation wit h Tushar Pandey\, Ashwath Bhatt and Vivek Vijayakumaran TRANSP:TRANSPARENT URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.sabhablr.in/event-details/physical-theatre-its-po ssibilities-and-limits-1 CATEGORIES:SABHA,CBD,URBANAUT,Festival,Art & culture,FREE X-BLR-TYPE:TheaterEvent END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261026T132700Z UID:in.sabhablr.lecture-demonstration-on-the-folk-theatre-of-bayalata@blr.t oday DTSTART:20261123T190000 DTEND:20261123T200000 CLASS:PUBLIC COLOR:lightskyblue DESCRIPTION:Lecture-Demonstration on the Folk Theatre of Bayalata\nAn Exper ience Sharing Session by Dr. Sahana Pinjar\nDr. Sahana Pinjar will be pres enting a live demonstration of the traditional Kannada folk-theatre form o f Bayalata through the performance of Girija Kalyana\, depicting the divin e marriage of Girija (Parvati) and Lord Shiva.

We will learn from them if writing science fiction for th e theatre poses unique challenges. They will reference their own plays to demonstrate that science fiction is not a form of free-floating fantasy\; it can\, for instance\, address moral dilemmas and ask searching questions about the political tendencies of our times.Script Reading:Juno 77By Abhi shek MajumdarIn Juno 77\, a woman disappears during a space mission. Her p artner’s search takes him far beyond Earth\, where time unsettles everyt hing they believed they knew about love\, duty\, and family. When their pa ths cross again\, each has lived differently and in different references o f time since the separation. How should they now understand their obligati ons to one another?Against this story\, Juno 77 asks questions at the hear t of moral philosophy. Does an intention matter more than its consequences ? Can someone be held to a promise in circumstances no one could have imag ined? What does it mean to forgive a person whose absence has shaped your entire life?The play also considers how religion helps us live with such q uestions. Faith offers ways to think about time\, sacrifice\, suffering an d the possibility of reunion. Yet those ideas can mean different things to people who have endured the same loss differently. Bringing space science into conversation with religious thought\, Juno 77 asks how we make moral choices when our shared understanding of a life has come apart. It seeks to examine the question of whether our loves and losses are meaningful or mere coincidence.Written and directed by Abhishek Majumdar\, the play will be produced by Nalanda Arts Studio in Kannada and Hindustani versions.The Archive on the Wall By Meghna Roy ChoudhuryThe Archive on the Wall is a s cience fiction play inspired by holographic principle theory that explores memory\, scientific thought\, and political erasure\, set inside a crumbl ing flat in contemporary Mumbai.After her mother’s death\, Aparna\, a ph ysicist turned archivist\, returns to her childhood home to sort through h er belongings. While scanning the old walls for data\, she discovers that one wall retains more than structural history. It reacts. It hums. It reme mbers.As the house approaches demolition\, Aparna uncovers fragments of he r mother’s political past\, her own repressed memories\, and traces of v iolence that were meant to disappear. She must confront what the wall has preserved and what she has chosen to forget.The play asks what remains whe n history is erased\, and whether memory can become an act of resistance.A bout the ParticipantsAbhishek MajumdarAbhishek Majumdar is a writer and di rector\, working across theatre\, novels\, essays\, film and opera.

The poverty of infrastructure and support fo r the theatre are among the external factors that are adduced for the prec ariousness of artist-led institutions. Internal factors are rarely cited. What if the institution is over-reliant on personal equations and goodwill for its sustenance? Or if its ownership is narrowly concentrated in one o r two charismatic personalities? Or if it is too obsessed with legacy conc erns to avert obsolescence in a swiftly changing environment?This session will investigate what might lie inside any theatre institution that could threaten its stability and hamper its growth. Reflecting on their personal experience of founding and running institutions\, three theatre artists w ill tell us about what worked or did not work about the choices they made. Were discontents allowed to simmer\, tensions swept under the carpet or c hallenges left unaddressed? In hindsight\, do they regret any missteps or wish they had done some things differently?About the Participants Sanyukta SahaSanyukta Saha is a theatre pedagogue\, facilitator and community arts leader\, and the Founder and Executive Director of Aagaaz Theatre Trust\, a community-rooted arts organisation in New Delhi.

This journey has involved much more than conducting sessions — it has been a continuous process of observing\, designing\, planning\, facilitating\, implementing\, documenting and reflecting.

At the sam e time\, the distinction between the traditional and the modern is not cle arcut. Modern theatre in India has a history that stretches back for over two centuries — long enough to develop its own traditions. Dance forms n ow regarded as ‘classical’ acquired modern practices of teaching\, per formance and patronage in the last century.The theatre artists in this ses sion will speak about their idea of tradition and how they have interacted with it in the plays they have written\, directed or performed. They will also be invited to discuss ethical and political questions that come to t he fore when tradition is brought into contemporary theatre work. Has thei r work been sensitive to the claim that borrowing from inherited forms of expression can constitute a form of cultural theft or disrespects localise d and context-specific creation of value and meaning? How would they negot iate with traditions that have been invented in response to market demands or political pressures? Has their work reconciled with\, or has it offere d a critical perspective on the feudalism\, casteism and gender discrimina tion embedded in many traditional performances and stories?About the Parti cipantsSharanya Ramprakash Sharanya Ramprakash is a Bengaluru-based theatr e-maker.
