World Theatre Day (27th March)

• A theatre is an art form that comprises live performers, actors, props, and more
  

• Every year on March 27, World Theatre Day is observed to generate awareness about the importance of theatre in our life.

• The first plays took place in the Theatre of Dionysus, situated in the Acropolis in Athens during the beginning of the 5th century.

• World Theatre Day was initiated in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute( ITI)
• Theatre is an ancient aesthetic practice in India. Surviving play texts and treatises all suggest that theatre existed in the Indian subcontinent from the dawn of civilization.

☘Famous forms of Traditional Theatre:

•>Bhand Pather, the traditional theatre form of Kashmir, is a unique combination of dance, music, and acting. Satire, wit, and parody are preferred for inducing laughter.The actors are mainly from the farming community, the impact of their way of living, ideals and sensitivity is discernible.

•>Nautanki is usually associated with Uttar Pradesh. The most popular centres of this traditional theatre form are Kanpur, Lucknow, and Haathras. The meters used in the verses are: Doha, Chaubola, Chhappai, Behar-e-tabeel. There was a time when only men acted in Nautanki but nowadays, women have also started taking part in the performances

•>Raasleela is based exclusively on Lord Krishna legends; it is believed that Nand Das wrote the initial plays based on the life of Krishna. In this theatre form, the dialogues in prose combined beautifully with songs and scenes from Krishna's pranks.

•>Jatra are musical plays performed in fairs which are held in honour of gods, or religious rituals and ceremonies. This form was born and nurtured in Bengal. The earlier form of Jatra has been musical. Dialogues were added at a later stage.

•>Bhaona is a presentation of the Ankia Naat of Assam. In Bhaona cultural glimpses of Assam, Bengal Orissa, Mathura and Brindavan can be seen. The Sutradhaar or narrator begins the story, first in Sanskrit and then in either Brajboli or Assamese.

•>Tamaasha is a traditional folk theatre form of Maharashtra. It has evolved from the folk forms such as Gondhal, Jagran, and Kirtan. Unlike other theatre forms, in Tamaasha the female actress is the chief exponent of dance movements in the play. She is known as Murki.

•>Krishnattam, folk theatre of Kerala, came into existence in the middle of 17th century.A cycle of eight plays are performed for eight consecutive days. The episodes are based on the theme of Lord Krishna depicting the victory of good over evil

Thank you for the compilation.

Nice to know few details about how it started and how it is adapted in India in different forms.

Cheers....
