As a 2nd year student of National School of Drama (NSD), New Delhi, I had the opportunity to attend the "Asian Theatre School Meet" from 17th to 22nd May, 2011, at Beijing, China. The festival, precisely named as "Asian Theatre Education Centre," was hosted by Central Academy of Drama, the most prestigious theatre school in China. It was the festival’s 6th international forum, with attendees from around the globe. Almost all the known schools of Asia participated, including NSD from New Delhi. The festival was charged up by various enlightening lectures from well known “theatre gurus” of international fame, and also by spirited performances from the students of the representative schools.
As an actor, this was my very first performance on an international platform with NSD’s production,"KARNA," which was directed by Padamshree Kanhailal. This experience just transformed me and enhanced my prowess as a performing artiste.
NSD’s performance was really applauded in Beijing and we students received various positive feedbacks from the people. We were able to analyze our play through completely new and different view points. It was interesting because very often we take things for granted and we are blinded by things that are familiar to us. But when a spectator or a critic belonging to a foreign culture points certain things out, our eyes automatically open. For them, new meanings and layering’s are created; sometimes a common gesture says more than what is intended and at times a completely opposite interpretation is given. As a theatre student, this kind of knowledge becomes precious.
