'Ek Rang ni Varta'

Ek Se Anek is celebrating the onset of summers with children!

'Ek Rang ni Varta' - our varta is the mythological story of Kaliya mardanam (duel between Krishna and the poisonous snake Kaliya, who was polluting the waters of Yamuna). With one story and multiple interpretations, lets enjoy the beauty of these many imaginations that will be explored through a painting workshop and a dance performance. 

We invite you all, our little friends, to exhibit any painting, drawing, sketch, craft or object that you have made prior for the exhibition. For those who want to draw with us, join us on Saturday, 28th April 5.30pm for the workshop!

Call for Actors: Space Theatre Ensemble, Goa

Hey friends,

This is a Call for Actors by Space Theatre Ensemble, Goa

The Space Theatre Ensemble, Goa, is a self-sustaining repertory totally committed to evolving an artistic practice that is innovative and socially and politically committed. It now invites applications before 12 noon, April 19th, 2012, to select 5 actors over the age of 18 and below 65 to join them in an intensive residency in Goa, beginning Monday, May 7th, 2012.

The purpose of this residency is to develop a new piece, The Doom of a Thousand Suns, centred on the hazards and dangers of nuclear energy, an its intimate relationship with militarism and violence.
 The residency is held on a farm at the foothills of the Western Ghats. Accommodation is clean but basic and may have to be self-constructed by participants. Good food guaranteed. No mobile coverage is available and there is no landline. Farm work and cooking are seen as essential components of the residency, as much as theatre practice.

No auditions are held, and previous theatre experience is not required. Independent physically challenged people may apply. Excellence in English is not mandatory. However, once selected, complete commitment to the production, its schedules and the team, is expected.

Email us with a 350 to 400 word attachment duly marked as HEY. Your Name. Your City. and the text within beginning with the words: “Hey, my name is ---- from ---- and I want to be a part of this residency because I bring with me...” Applications must be spell-checked and thoughtfully composed. It may help if you wrote to us as if you were speaking into a recorder and telling us what you really feel and think about wanting to work with us.

The Space Theatre Ensemble looks forward to hearing from you. We will begin discussions over email or telephone from April 23rd 2012.

IMPORTANT: Selected applicants must give an undertaking that they will give time, consensually arrived at with the ensemble, to tour with the performance between June and August. 

'Creatures of the Earth' by Space - Dalpatram chowk

Again with 'Ek se Anek' the same evening Space Theater Ensemble performed 'Creatures of the Earth' at Dalpatram Chowk, off Releif Road. A 37 minute long piece combining jazz and movement directed by Hartman de Souza, with music composed, arranged and played by Steve Siqueira. The performance revisits the legend of Paikeachi Zor, a sacred spring in the forests of Quepem in South Goa. 


We chose to perform at this chowk which the government has presented this community for theater with the statue of Dalpatram who was a Gujarati poet. The performance by Andrea Pereira, Stephie Madurel and Terence Jorge did not use a particular language, to the sounds of the creatures the children effortlessly reacted and became a part of the performance. When the performance ended the high levels of enthusiasm of the kids and the group was channelized into playing theater games for a while enacting sounds and gestures of their creatures. Late in the night we then wound up with delicious dinner that they offered us.
