The Department of English had organised Text-Based Drawing Competition, and this beautiful drawing was made on the context of the play Tara by @dattani23 sir.
This shows how they visualise the text that they read and the ones we discuss. After all what is literature if not a live-motion imagery in our minds?

Grateful for an amazing theatre workshop by Mahesh Dattaniji. Thank you Barkha Kishnani and Lights and Shadow theater Company for this wonderful opportunity.
It was a truly an amazing learning experience. Thank you, Maheshji, for giving us so much food for thought and for introducing us to the depth of method acting.
I’m grateful for the tools shared with us to achieve meaningful creative outcomes. As an actor, I’ve learned that I can make thoughtful choices in movement, tempo and sensation to create something truly beautiful.
The learning never stops.

A special thanks to NCPA for partnering with us on this production and having us in the wonderful Experimental Theatre.

The Monk & The Warrior follows Alexander the Great and a Bodhisattva monk through a surreal, sweeping journey across Indian and Western queer myths and histories. All woven into one wildly alive love story about what it costs to reach across every boundary that exists between two people.
It will make you laugh, and then catch you completely off guard, and somewhere in its 75 minutes, it will find the part of you that has ever had to choose between who you are and what you want.

When theatre becomes a space for truth, reflection, and powerful storytelling 🎭
@dattani23 and @jtaiktay join our main man @hrishikay to talk about The Monk and The Warrior @ncpamumbai . From what unlocked the story as a writer to the evolving landscape of queer narratives, they dive deep into the craft behind the play.
From balancing reimagination and restoration to using music as a living character, and building that invisible connective tissue in rehearsals, this conversation explores the soul of theatre.
