JAMMU, July 10: The month-long Summer Theatre Workshop for Children organised by Natrang here today concluded with an impressive performance of ‘Pollution Ka Solution’-a new play in Hindi at Police Auditorium.
The play was written and directed by Sumeet Sharma. Sheetal Nanda, Commissioner/ Secretary, Department of Social Welfare presided over the function.
She appreciated the concept and style of the play and suggested more such performances to spread the message of cleanliness under Swachh Bharat Mission. At the very outset, in his video address streamed from Mauritius, Balwant Thakur dwelt in detail about Natrang’s Children Theatre initiative in Jammu and stressed on the dire need of introducing theatre as a compulsory subject in schools.
He thanked Mukesh Singh, ADGP and Natrang promoters in supporting this mission aimed at the welfare of civil society of Jammu.
Today’s performance was organised by Natrang in collaboration with J&K Police.
As the name suggests, play ‘Pollution Ka Solution’ attracts our concentration towards the malign intentions of pollution and also suggests measures to prevent it. The topic was very creatively handled where satire and humour remained prominent tools by which children conveyed the heavy message in a lighter tone and enjoyed it while doing it.
Nicely written poetry, songs and parodies enhanced the overall impact of the performance and the energetic and impressive acting by children was icing to the cake.
The workshop was coordinated by Gauri Thakur with support of Vikrant Sharma and Neeraj Kant (Coordination), Chander Shekhar (Designing), Sunny Mujoo (Choreography), Suraj Ganjoo and Shivam Singh (Lighting and Technical Assistance), Mohd. Yaseen, Brijesh Avtar Sharma and Bhawna (Management and Logistics), Kananpreet Kaur, Sushant Singh, Arti Bhagat, Kushal Bhat (Activities and Demonstration).
