[Reader-list] Sankalp - Theatre Festival on Dec 3rd-5th 2010, Ahmedabad

[rohitrellan at aol.in]

Sankalp – the theatre society at MICA provides the means for exploring 
the boundaries of communication through theatre and other performance 
media. Revived in 2000 by two theatre-enthusiast MICAns, Sankalp has 
gone from being a ‘theatre society’ to becoming a way of life at MICA. 
 
Apart from regular in-house plays, Sankalp stages one grand production 
every year for the paying public in Ahmedabad and other cities. This 
final production is staged at Natarani amphitheatre, an heirloom of the 
renowned Sarabhai family, presently run by Mallika Sarabhai. In a 
decade of it’s existence, renowned plays such as Girish Karnad’s 
‘Tuglaq’, ‘Hayavadana’, ‘Sacrifice’, Vijay Tendulkar’s ‘Encounter in 
Umbugland’, Dharmavir Bharti’s ‘Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda’ and Woody 
Allen’s ‘Death’ have been performed at this amphitheatre by Sankalp. 
 
The final show expresses a MICAns affection for the culture and 
heritage of the local city of Ahmedabad. It is humbling to welcome 
theatre critics who have not missed a single Sankalp production till 
date! 
 
In it’s 11th year now, Sankalp 2010 will open it’s doors to welcome 
theatre groups to become a part of this uniquely MICAn journey, through 
workshops and competitions. Sankalp 2010 promises to be much more than 
a commercial production, as it takes the form of a theatre extravaganza 
hosting a lot more plays on campus and around the city.
