Theatrics, a medium for those who emote and emulate, futile for the inexpressive. Recently an initiative by me and my team, for others led to an accidental discovery of my own blind spot. Generally considered as dry and devoid of emotions, I was not able to fathom my ability to pull the character in a justifiable manner. Playing the role of a woman who flies to an onshore location with her husband fighting against the cultural shackles and performance standards, was a tough take at the start. After the culmination of the dramaturgy session- my expectation was to just garner few satisfactory words from the audience and the jury. But life can be showering at times. What I got to hear from the judges was goodie stuff about my performance. Good to hear, though it has kindled a desire to join a theatre and try my hands on emulating.
Don’t know why but have always thought that this medium can be used by psychologists on patients who are averse to social life(Likes of My Name Is Khan)!!!
