MY SECOND PLAY

WAITING...

   One Sunday in April,when we met at changampuzha park for Caucasian Chawlk Circle,next production of Lokadharmi, Chandradasan sir asked me about my availability from 16^thmay from 23^rd for a residential camp with Finnish Art Group.Sir told me that camp conducted for a production,based on a story from Kalewala,Finnish Epic.They decided the Production,as a team work of Finnish group with Lokadharmi,for 23^rd May.Sir chose three artists from Lokadharmi;they are Selvaraj VR,Charu Narayanan and Me.    

   I was in trouble;had many thoughts, confusions…I was not ready for residential camp,because of my homesickness and thoughts on food.I have one more reason;I have no interests in ‘quick play making and delivering’.I want,Time to relax, in all my works…

Why me? : Lokadharmi have many talents than me,I am sure.But…why me?That was the question!Sir was waiting for my words.My Parents and friends told me to attend.But my mind said:‘NO’. 

   After my own calculations,I decided…

   On that day,in which Sir wanted my answer,I told Him:’Sir,I AM Ready’. 

   After some days I had a call from Sir:’We will start work on 15^th May at Charu Narayanan’s Yoga Centre.'
On The Way…

   15^th,16^th,17^th of May we did practices at the Yoga centre. As I afraid,it was not a camp.We used our comfortable hours to practice and related excersises.
   On 15^th we started at evening and continued till the powercut. We did some kalari based movements led by Charu narayanan,the Yoga expert and actress. Then we started work with improvisation of first portion of the play-Two Mothers In The Realm Of Death.

   The Directors divided us as Two groups;each has 3 people.The first group members were Selvaraj,Anna and Eija and the second had Mari,Charu and Me.Our improvisations had many mistakes and some good parts. 
   Next day,Pirkko Kurikka(the writer), Laura,Mammu (musicians) and Janne Hyytianen joined to the rehearsals.We started the rehearsals afternoon to the time of powercut and discussed about next day’s plan.

   Next day our practice also started afternoon,but ended very early,just at evening.They have some works for a drama,which they planned to play next day.Because of that drama,18^th May was free from practice.

   On 19^th the team went to Cherai and camped at Amaravathy Resort,near to the beach, for the practice and enjoyment. Antti,Martta and Kishore also joined to the rehearsals.      

   Mannam is just 9 or 10 kilometers far from Cherai;so I went to home after the rehearsals and came as the schedule. 

   From the Yoga centre rehearsals,we had the structure of the play. At Cherai,Everyone worked hard for the perfection.

The Happiest Lunch Time

   I had a plan to invite The whole team to my home on last day.On sunday,I discussed my wish with my Mother.Without any doubt, She approved.In the evening,I asked Sir and He to The Team. Thumbs Up…

   Next day,at Lunch time the whole team were in my home.My Mother made a good feast for Them.After the food,they spend some time in my home and after that they went to their residences.They enjoyed and said Thanks…

"It was one of my happiest moment in my life."

   Next day,I got their thanks again and I told them to give thanks to my Mother.

   As we planned,did rehearsals and planned for next day-The performance day.
The Performance Day

   It was my second play.
   Prayed for a better play and we played well…Played much much better than the rehearsals…
   It was a team effort,in which each individuals gained success.
Got comments with good words.

The GOOD BYE Day

   Had a closing ceremony of Finnish Art Week-2012 on 24th May,at Nanappa Art Gallery.It was a function with Music and Painting...But for me,that was a hard time.   

   I can’t write about this day… 

   It was very sad to say Good Bye!

   Don’t know, when we can meet again.

   I have many to write in my mind;but in short,We had memorable and enjoyable moments.Want to write more on it,inch by inch,but the language is a problem for me!

   I want to tell one more thing:The work with them helped me to understand the easiness of 'quick play making and delivering'.If there is any chance to work with the same team,i will change my all time schedule for that work.
