On the way....

I am curious to see the various kinds of plays in 12th Bharat rang Mahotsov.I decided myself to concentrate the path ways of acting where it emerged and influenced by seeing plays of festival.In opening day I saw "The Door Way" . It was performed and devised by Jyoti Dogra.While i was seeing the Play , it insisted me to memorise the Zar theatre (from Poland)Workshop's( Based on Grotowski Process) body impulse exercises which we undergone(2nd year) last semester. The human body sense the different impulses in different kind of spaces. The spaces in two mode . One physical space and psychological space. She used her voice as repetitive dialogue , noise , mourning to express hers spacial circumstances . By connection with the suggestive Door like iron rod, she created the images and also the spaces what she undergoing through her body in a empty space. But the harmony of voice and the spaces, images what she creating not connected in a powerful manner some times . Apart from that a question arose inside me "The behavioural mannerism of the impulsive body was imitation of Western mannerism or not?". After the ending of the show i read brochure and i knew her training under Grotowski discipline , then my question was going to answer myself " yea it was imitation ".I heard one of the audience of the same play " was it Indian or western style ". It was 7Th Jan state of mind of myself.
After seeing the Play Achin Gnayar Gatha (Bengali) directed by H.Kanhailal on 9Th January, the same question knock my door and again me on the way of searching the door way .This play also try to capture the essence of Kanhailal & sabitri method of physical language of lyrical instinct.Actors were expressed their level best but through the mannerism of artist i saw SabitriMa. "Why i spelt imitation in that two performance( The Door way & Achin Gnayar Gatha) ? Does my way of watching the play have a problem?" asked to H. Kanhailal . He answered me that every actor should imitate first what kind of style he undertakes then only he is able to create his/her own style.
