Events
Theatre workshop(Ar Shruti Joshi)
Ar Shruti Joshi has been a pillar of strength and support during the formative years of the development of BNCA and is one of the most passionate teachers present in college. The workshop focused on stretching ones limits of expression. The workshop started with the use of voice /sound as a form of expression. Then the students were made to express their emotions in connection with different sounds of nature played over the sound system. This opened up their minds to an understanding of emotions and music/sound. Their expressions were in a physical context where the students used actions and movements to express feelings. The workshop moved further onto a broader exercise of human sculptures where the students were divided into groups of 10. Each group member was to create human figurines which would allow the next member to perceive the prior expression and react to it by adding on. It turned out to be a fantastic group exercise because it generated discussions amongst students who barely knew eachother. It also worked as a ice breaking session.
In the final stage of the workshop, the students were shown black and white audio visual clippings where they were made to observe the role of semantics in movies. How a object gives information to create a story from a certain period, a certain age, of a certain bag round. Movies are the best examples to portray this to the students. The students not only observed but also went through a effective Q&A session as a conclusive exercise for the whole workshop.
The outcome for the second orientation day were postcards, made by students under the title of “Where my roots run…”. Students from all over the country take admission for this course, it is important to address the fact that the place they belong to has been addressed. The students used their creativity in designing these postcards depicting places that they belong to. It worked as a very good end to the orientation program but also as a wonderful start to an exciting new journey for the year 2018-19.
