Mega Theatre Play Samvidhan 75 to be staged on 10th Jan in the city

Hyderabad, January 07, 2025…….Abhyasa International Residential School, a 28-year-old boutique boarding school to organise a Mega Theatre Play Samvidhan@75 at Shilpa Kala Vedika at 4 pm on 10th January.

It will be a 90-minute opera involving all the 400 students of the school. The Mega Skit to be performed involving so many students on a single stage is something rare and to be admired.

Abhyasa School is known for Mega Annual Cultural theatre performances. Theatre plays of the school in the past became the talk of Bollywood, Tollywood and Hyderabad’s Theater & Cultural Circles. Each time they schedule their annual day, they set a record, probably as the largest stage performance ever by any school in the country,

The opera traces the history of India from 5000 BCE to the present times, when the Indian Constitution turns 75 years old and the Indian Republic will be attaining 75 years on the 26th of January 2025. The opera is planned ahead of this milestone occasion.

Ancient Indians created a balanced & prosperous society, often referred to as the ‘Golden Age of Bharata Varsha’, wherein wealth was generated righteously and utilised for the collective growth of all! Even the goal of every human then, was not the accumulation of wealth but rather the liberation of the soul! However, this equilibrium began to shift with the advent of invaders in India and the confluence of cultures! Over time, these external influences shifted the people’s focus from service orientation towards accumulation & materialism! This event had profound implications on the Indian social fabric, which includes a current obsession among Indians to study abroad.

The school every year conducts its cultural nite on a ‘contemporary theme’ which is aesthetically creative and socially educative, not only for the students and parents of the school but our society at large.

Some of the mega operas planned in the past were ‘Anna Hazare’s Anti-Corruption Campaign’ in 2012, ‘100 Years of Indian Cinema’ in 2013, ‘Swatch Bharath Movement’ in 2016, ‘Dance of Democracy’ in 2019, and ‘Idea of Ram Rajya’ in 2024, just to name a few. These exemplary operas presented by Abhyasa students, wherein every student gets to participate in the program under the principle of ‘No Child Left Behind’, have won accolades from all quarters

Ishq Jabariya Actress Siddhi Sharma Shares Her Thoughts on Surrogacy and Motherhood: Being a Mother is So Much More Than Just Carrying a Baby

In Sun Neo’s ongoing show Ishq Jabariya, intense emotions unfold as Siddhi Sharma, who plays the character of Gulki, finds herself in a challenging situation. Mohini, through Aditya, asks Gulki to become a surrogate mother for Anu’s child. However, Gulki refuses this offer, prompting Siddhi Sharma to share her thoughtful perspective on surrogacy.

Siddhi believes that surrogacy is much more than just the physical act of giving birth. She said, “Becoming a surrogate mother is all about love, care, and sacrifice. It’s not just about giving birth; it’s about forming a deep connection and nurturing a child. It shows us that motherhood isn’t always defined by biology—it’s about the heart. Helping another woman experience the joy of having a child is such a beautiful and kind thing to do. Surrogacy, both in movies and real life, teaches us that love can go beyond what we expect, and being a mother can mean so much more than just carrying a baby.”

The Ishq Jabariya actress further added, “I remember watching the movie Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, where Preity Zinta plays a surrogate mother for Rani Mukerji. It’s such a beautiful story that highlights how selfless it can be to become a mother for someone else’s child. But what’s even more touching is that, in real life, Preity Zinta herself chose surrogacy to become a mother to her own children. It’s an inspiring reminder that motherhood can take many forms, and it’s always rooted in love.”

Ishq Jabariya, airing on Sun Neo at 7:30 PM, is an engaging love story centered around Gulki, a determined young woman with big aspirations. The show boasts a stellar cast, including Kamya Panjabi, Siddhi Sharma, and Lakshay Khurana in key roles, bringing depth and emotion to this captivating narrative.

From Classroom to Center Stage: The NCPA and National Theatre UK Bring Professional Theatre Experience to Mumbai’s Youth with Connections India’s Third Edition

Mumbai, 6th January 2025 — The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), in association with the National Theatre UK, is about to conclude the third edition of Connections India—a unique theatrical initiative that brings professional theatre experiences directly to the youth of Mumbai. The program this year, which commenced in August 2024 and will reach its culmination in January 2025, continues in its mission to unlock the creative potential of young minds from various schools and allows them to thrive in a collective creative platform.

This year, 16 schools, colleges, and NGOs across Mumbai will perform plays commissioned by the National Theatre UK as well as the NCPA. For the first time two plays written by Indian playwrights are a part of the line-up. The plays cover a wide variety of topics, from grief and anxiety to success and climate change.

Under the expert guidance of industry professionals, students have gained hands-on acting experience. Professional theatre directors worked with students of each institution, providing feedback and leading the students through the rehearsal and performance process. Teachers from each school and college also supervised rehearsals and helped students gain the confidence to perform in a public setting. Throughout the programme, students and teachers participated in workshops by leading theatre practitioners to enhance their acting, voice, and technical knowhow.

Students also expanded their skills beyond acting and dived into the other aspects of putting up a play. The Backstage Pass Camp, a five-day training workshop providing training in stage design, management, and more. Students were also taken on field trips to the NCPA, where they could familiarise themselves with its rich history and cultural legacy. Connections India will culminate in the Connections Festival, to be held between the 16th to the 26th of January 2025 where each school gets to perform their play at the Experimental Theatre at the NCPA.

The NCPA and National Theatre are continuing to make Connections India more inclusive and diverse with each iteration of the program. This year, schools from NGOs like Teach for India, Akanksha Foundation, Angel Express, and the Aseema Trust – who have previously participated in Connections India – were a part of it this year. First-time participants include the Jai Vakeel Foundation, a school for intellectually disabled students. Other participating schools and colleges include Bombay International School, Wilson College, The German School (DSB), and the Aditya Birla World Academy (ABWA), among others.

Connections India represents the coming together of two of the world’s most esteemed cultural institutions—the NCPA and the National Theatre UK—each with a profound commitment to nurturing the performing arts and fostering arts education. Through this collaboration, young talent from all walks of life get to immerse in an authentic theatre-making process, gaining hands-on experience in every facet of production.

Bruce Guthrie, Head of Theatre & Films, National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), shared his excitement for Connections India 2025: “We are thrilled to present the third year of Connections India, a celebration of youth, creativity, and collaboration. Theatre has the unique ability to shape individuals, nurturing empathy, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the world around us. Programs like Connections offer young people the opportunity to engage with stories that resonate with their experiences, while also fostering skills that will serve them throughout their lives. At the NCPA, we believe that participating in such initiatives is crucial for today’s youth—helping them develop not only as performers but also as individuals. With 16 incredible schools, workshops, and performances of some of the most exciting contemporary plays, we are excited to witness how these young people will inspire and connect with audiences. Together with the National Theatre, UK, we are proud to support this remarkable festival and look forward to the transformative impact it will have on both the performers and their audiences.”

Sharing the idea behind the initiative, Shernaz Patel, Creative Learning Director, Connections India said, “Connections celebrates young people – they are the artists, the singers, dancers and backstage teams. But most importantly these are their stories written by some of the best international playwrights. These plays speak to young people. They are funny, poignant and hard hitting. They are about issues that matter to them. What we add to this incredible initiative is NCPA’s professional expertise – directors, production and technical excellence that lift these plays and make them come alive on stage. Everything we do at the festival from the decor, food, outdoor entertainment, workshops, adds to this unique and important celebration of what it means to be young in today’s India”.

Ragini Singh Khushwaha, Creative Learning Producer, Connections India, shared the initiative’s journey: “Connections India has witnessed incredible growth in just three years, establishing itself as a vital platform for young people in theatre. It offers a much-needed space for creating and performing plays that resonate with their experiences. More than just theatre, it brings together young people from diverse backgrounds to collaborate, learn, and share their stories with audiences who see the world through their eyes.”

At its core, Connections is about education, personal growth, and self-expression through creative exploration. Students participating in the program will hone critical skills such as communication, teamwork, and emotional intelligence, all while navigating the rich complexities of theatre. This initiative not only fosters artistic talent but also prepares students to become thoughtful, creative leaders in whatever path they choose.

The NCPA invites schools, educators, cultural organisations, and patrons of the arts to support this extraordinary initiative and clear their calendars for the upcoming Connections Festival. The two-week-long festival is a chance to experience topical and high-caliber theatre about contemporary issues, written specifically for the youth. Connections India helps ensure that the next generation has access to the profound and lasting impact of the performing arts.
