Manipur's Sorinchon Zimik, a rising Tangkhul theatre star
newstrackindia.com | Imphal, Nov 29 (ANI):
Twenty one year old Sorinchon Zimik is increasingly becoming popular in the state after receiving the "Young Artiste Scholarship" award from the central government for excelling in theatre. Zimik who belongs to the Tanghkul Naga tribe, is among the first tribal artists to receive this scholarship, as her work has helped promote the region's tribal culture. The award entitles her a monthly scholarship of Rs.5000 for a period of two years.
"If I am able to learn properly, then, I will be able to create awareness on the Tanghkul community. It will also help me generate a love for theatre among the youth," said Zimik. Wungnaoyo Zimik, Sorinchon's father said that he encouraged her daughter to further attain new heights in theatre and set an example for others as well.
Zimik started her career with singing gospel songs in local churches of her village and the nearby region. After working hard for years, Zimik got her first major break in the S Thaninleima's Khengjonglang Theatre Group during a 45-day workshop conducted in Ringui village. Under Thaninleima's mentorship, Zimik performed outside Manipur in a play named "Ashang eina Aton" for the first time.
