Akademi Award: Thang-Ta
Born in 1962, Shri Moirangthem Rajen Singh of Kwakeithel Mayaikoibi Mamang Leikai, Imphal, is a noted practitioner and guru of traditional Manipuri martial art, Thang-Ta.
His long journey in the field of Thang-Ta began when, as a young boy of fifteen years, he enrolled himself at HULA Shindamsang, one of the leading institutions for learning the art.
Here he came into contact with many prominent gurus of Thang-Ta of the time.
Under the watchful eyes of these gurus, he not only mastered the various intricate techniques of Thang-Ta but also the deeper concepts of the art.
His association with HULA Shindamsang was so strong that he served as Junior Instructor of Thang-Ta at the institute from 1983 to 1986 and as Senior Instructor from 1986 to 1990.
Besides, he has conducted various Thang-Ta classes for students of National School of Drama, New Delhi and artistes of leading theatrical organisations including Chorus Repertory Theatre.
Besides having given numerous performances, he has also participated in several seminars and workshops on Thang-Ta.
At present, he is serving as Principal of a Thang-Ta institute based in Imphal.
For his contribution in the field of Thang-Ta, Shri Moirangthem Rajen Singh is bestowed with Manipur State Kala Akademi Award.
