Jayanta Chatterjee

What we know that drama is performing art where performer(actor) and audience connect through a vibe or emotion .And we also know that without an actor neither drama nor acting is possible. Because a story always build up by the norm of social characteristics. Drama and plays get created on basis of those stories. We all are performing. Each of us doing acting with our rectitude. All of great person they all acted so well by their nobility. They have practice so hard and long before get in to a character. By dedication they took their level of practice similar to worship. They act for honor of truth, act as a valiant Warrior to the way of freedom. The target work of art is finding the truth . Art is a medium which bind the human soul and the cosmic soul together. By our spiritual practice we can sense and feel our universal truth. We can grasp human soul by our body and mind . At the very starting we can observe these two prospects. We have to start the work with these two. To apprehend a character of a play everyone need to recognize themselves first. If we can not realize what we are it is difficult to comprehend other. Our body, mind and soul these three prospects are revealing the sensation or wisdom or intelligence differently from our inside. Although we are same but we act differently or identical. So we isolate each topic or subject by impersonation, essence, scent, sound and touch. These are materialistic's. Separated by experiences and believes where this believing also comes from experiences. How a person experience certain situations is dependable to the incidents he is facing. like a fruit market has different types of fruits. why so?. Because they are behaviourally different by their look, essence, scent, sound and touch. Among these fruits I pick one which is by name or sounds apple, looks round shape and red, essence or flavour Sweet and individually a special cent, by touching smooth. By these we can assume apple as a command which help us to gather knowledge to recognize it among all fruits after being familiar with it. There are so many types of fruits but by origin they are similar but by nature or expression or manifestation they are different. Similarly we are all living beings but by expositing divergent. That’s why in Indian philosophy "I" mean Universe. Spirituality in the realization, that to which one gets to know the sense and the force that guides ones action. By which we can reach to the devastating details about "I" which is Integral. And from this truth can be discovered. Art is a form or medium of expression - expression of joy, exposure of learning or wisdom, revealed of truth. Drama expressed by human so the person involved has to know which personality or character is descended.

CONTENT OF THE WORKSHOP :

YOGA
(weaken body, mind & voice with yoga)

Yoga is a ancient Indian mind-body-spirit discipline, said to have or originated in the ‘sutra’ ( philosophical verses ) of Patanjali Muni (around 200 BC ).
The word of Yoga is from the old Sanskrit, and means ‘union’. While there are many different forms of yoga. But the purpose of all of them is the same – to achieve oneness with the cosmos. For the serious yogi, the ultimate aim is to attain ‘Moksha’ or liberation from the karmic cycle of birth and death.
The form of yoga that’s most widely known in the West is ‘hatha Yoha’, a system of ‘Asanas’ ( postures ) meant to perfect and discipline the body, and its accompanying breath exercises, called ‘Pranayama’. 



KALARIPYATTU
(Understanding body, space and time with kalaripyattu)

Kalaripayattu is the ancient martial art form of Kerala (India ). Today, it is gaining recognition as a useful and rigorous training for all performers who use their bodies as an instrument, especially dancers and actors. Introduces the basic stances, exercises, and techniques of kalaripayattu, particularly intended to provide a new perspective on movement for dancer, actors, athletes or anyone interested in challenging their bodies in a new way.
The training methods of Kalaripayattu which broadly comprise leg lifts and intense body postures lead to greater flexibility and removal of blockages from the energy centers, thus helping in weight loss. The scientific techniques enhance body-mind balance and concentration, and lead to a visible increase in stamina. It reduces stress, improves functioning of the immune system, enhances posture, and leads to better neuromuscular co-ordination.


BAUL

Life is an art; ? Bauls flow this voice.
Bauls do not perform for an audience; they sing for themselves for their own quest. They are searching WHO AM I; and when they are singing this voice comes again and again. It is the same quest as the yogi pursues. Yogi and actor have one resemblance: both accept everything from the nature. They have one dissimilarity. For a yogi it is not necessary to expose what they accept. But for an actor or artist it is necessary to expose. Bauls are a great example of this. Usually they do not practice song and music; they practice yoga, they work with nature, they work with the body and then the songs come by themselves. Bauls are an example of the kind of practice that can make a holy artist.
