A Housefull response of  TAJMAHAL KA TENDER

Ashwin Sharma from Swatantra Theatre Won Best Actor Award 

from Govt. of Maharashtra in Rajya Natya -2019  

Play is selected to be one of the Best plays too.

More than two decades back, Ajay Shukla's “Taj Mahal Ka Tender” has won its writer both the Sahitya Kala Parishad the Mohan Rakesh Samman. Since then, the play has seen countless performances all over.Its biting wit throws a powerful punch, and remains, despite the passage of years, both relevant and well-loved.The story of Taj Mahal’s construction, the play begins at the point when Emperor Shah Jahan first decides to build a monument to commemorate his Begum, Mumtaz Mahal. While  it uses a contemporary context, one that’stained with corruption, red tapism and bureaucracy  The play explores the construction in the light of these issues. With every delay and every bribe, the play reminds us of our reality, and even as it uses slapstick comedy and situational comedy to elicit laughs, it doesn’t lose its darker context.

Venue- Pt. Jawaharal Nehru auditorum, ghole road, near balgandharv, Pune.

Muavje 

Writer: Bhishma Sahni

The word 'Danga'  a very shattering word, on the contrary, the word 'Muavje..!' is a very reliving one.The deeper meaning of these 2 words and the greed, the profit that gives foundation to the riots - but blame religion and community, is satirically examined in this play.

The Play narrates a story of a poor suburb where people are waiting for riots impatiently.The poor people are ready to die in the riot because their family will get compensation, where as rich people want to take this opportunity to make their career in politics and Business successful.

The Writer Bhishm Sahni was awarded the Padma Bhushan for literature in 1998, and Sahitya Akademi Fellowship in 2002

Venue- Pt. Jawaharal Nehru auditorum, ghole road, near balgandharv, Pune.

30th July, 2023, Sunday 7.30pm

Swatantra Theater will present a unique form of Theatrical presentation- Jhalkiyan - based on Munshi Premchand's stories.

Undoubtedly, the first name that comes to our mind whenever we discuss or talk about Hindi Literature is that of Munshi Premchand – a person who single-handedly raised the level of the Hindustani Literature to several new heights. Interestingly, Munshi Premchand is such a persona that he is widely regarded as ‘Williams Shakespeare’ of the Hindustani/Hindi Literature. 

Dhanpat Rai Srivastava, better known by his pen name ‘Premchand’ is the greatest Indian writer who is known for his modern Hindustani literature. About 18 Urdu and Hindi Novels, more than 300 short stories, 3 plays to his credit along with 7 books for children and many essays, translations, column writing,screenplay writing along with the screenplay for the film Majdoor released in year 1934.

To pay tribute to the writer who is an asset to our Country a unique performance will be presented. There are stories written by Premchand which will be read out and simultaneously few scenes will be enacted to give the entire piece an audio and visual experience.Flashes of breathtaking stories in some interesting scene work, that’s why Jhalkiyaan will be a unique experience.          Miss Padma , Bade Ghar Ki Beti and Budhi Kaki will be performed and read in 'Jhalkiyaan'. Venue: Amphitheater, Shri Mahavir Jain Vidyalaya, next to BMCC, Deccan Area

17 मई की शाम हम सबके लिए एक यादगार अनुभव रही । हमारे नन्हे कलाकारों ने काव्य पाठ कर अनेक हिंदी कवियों की रचनाओं को बड़ी तन्मयता से प्रस्तुत किया। ४ से १६ वर्ष तक के आयु के बच्चों ने हिंदी की सर्वोत्तम रचनाओं का काव्य पाठ किया।

 सोहनलाल द्विवेदी जी की कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती, हरिवंश राय बच्चन की अग्निपथ, सुभद्रा कुमारी चौहान की हवा हूं हवा मैं बसंती हवा हूं से लेकर हास्य-व्यंग्य कविताओं की बौछार ने सबको रिझा दिया। बच्चों के अभिभावक तथा स्वतंत्र के कलाकारों के बीच सुंदर आयोजन हुआ। युवराज जी युवराज शहा सर का बनाया हुआ यह सुंदर ओपन एयर थिएटर .. शाम की ताजी हवा और हरियाली से लैस इस प्रांगण में बैठकर नन्हे कलाकारों का कविता पाठ सुनना एक अद्भुत अनुभव रहा।

हम ह्रदय से धन्यवाद करना चाहते हैं Sanjay Kashilal Bhardwaj श्री संजय भारद्वाज और सुधा भारद्वाज Sudha Bhardwaj जी को जो इस कार्यक्रम में विशेष अतिथि के रूप में पधारे । दोनों ही जाने-माने कवि और लेखक हैं। इतने व्यस्त होने के बावजूद उन्होंने हमारे इस कार्यक्रम के लिए अपना कीमती समय दिया। बच्चों को भाषा और उच्चारण के विषय पर मार्गदर्शन किया। बच्चों में बच्चे बन जाने वाले इस दंपति ने बच्चों को खूब सराहा और सुधा मैम की एक सुंदर बाल कविता से इस आयोजन का समापन हुआ।

जब आप जैसे व्यक्तित्व आकर बच्चों की सराहना करते हैं उन्हें मार्गदर्शन करते हैं तो बच्चों के बाल मन पर एक गहरा सकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ जाता हैं जिसे वे हमेशा याद रख पाते हैं।

Krushan Doshi ने उत्कृष्ट मंच संचालन करते हुए इस कार्यक्रम को सफल बनाया। Swatantra Theatre का प्रांगण खिल खिल उठा

Swatantra Theatre will be commemorating World Theater Day on 21st and 22nd April, 2023.

As we all know Theater is in itself a strong tool and a powerful medium to bring out the best in their personality. It helps to shed inhibitions and teaches the power of decision making helping to bring confidence.

At Swatantra we have developed the modules in such a way that we introduce and train them into the entire horizon of Theater. Acting, writing, Direction, Stage management, Art Direction which involves painting, crafting, creating something new with the coordination of the team towards one goal and ultimately introducing them to good Indian Literature are covered. 

We have previously conducted 3D Theater mask Making, Basic Make up sessions too. It is surely about exploring these different areas and choosing their area of interest. The by-product of such sessions have been improved concentration, focus and the overcoming the challenges of working in a dynamic team with harmony. Theater is Live but it is also a reflection of life. Children will later perform in a professional Stage performance based on the works of an Indian Author. The play making process too is entirely driven by children with the help of expert guidance. And audiences in the past witnessed the magic! Be it ' Turning Pages' based on Sudha Murthy's works or 'Malgudi Days' based on RK Laxman's works, 'Robindra Sansar' on Rabindranath Tagore's works or Dadasaheb Phalke, Sant Tukaram which were biographical plays have stunned the audiences.

LABOUR PAIN- an unending saga (Indian feature Film based on migrant workers during the COVID-19 pandemic)

Swatantra Theatre and Films, feature film Receving  your Love and selections at many National and International Film Festival ....

about film-

Mazdoors lay the ground work of our societies, they are the pillars on which our sky scrapers stand. Their blood, sweat & tears shape our homes, malls & subways. But which strata of our social fabric do these labourers dwell in? What about their individual identities? We follow the story of Shankar and Manju, daily wage migrant workers, living miles away from home for work that to them is worship. Our journey with them brings us to the apocalyptic days of an un-foreseen pandemic that upends the lives of millions like them. Without a social security net to catch their fall and abandoned by the city they built, left to their own devices, they begin a long, long walk back home. Will they ever get there ? Will they find the families that a home is made of ? Will they ever dare to dream or hope again for a better future ? Or are they on roads that lead nowhere ?

A bright, crisp, and tailor-made dramatization of H.C.  Andersen's 'The Emperor's new clothes'. A Hindi Adaptation by  Alakhnandan. The story is about Raja Reshamlal, who is willing to sacrifice his castle, friends—even his Empress to buy the most luxurious new clothes available.

Aspirants can explore both the forms of acting with understanding the basic to advanced techniques.

This Theatre/ Acting program is not just a mere training of techniques.We will start with basic regional form of theatre/acting,art. Every artist must know the folk theatre where we inculcate our traditional and culture form, because India presents a colourful assortment of folk theatre like Nautanki, tamasha this helps immensely since the actors frequently converse with the audience in the course of the play.The stage is often a huge empty space where actors deftly manipulate with their dialogues and gestures.Loud music, dance, elaborated use of make up, masks and singing chorus are its hallmarks.These kind of plays provide a valuable insight into the local dialect, dress, attitude, humour, and wit of the regions.

All this can give a deep insight and broaden a way of looking to the form of acting. It can prove a strong base.
Work extensively on: Voice Culture Development,
Acting Skills, Body Language
Exercise sessions on various body exercises and voice exercises.
