About the Play:

Recently I watch one at play Digdarshak ,



Department of English MKBU, organised by Film Screening Committee. Generally story is about a theatre director who reunites with one of his student who become Bollywood  Superstar but Director disappointed that his student leave him and theatre too.  Director is very serious and conscious about theatre as he gave his whole life to it  than his family. 
 


This story is about director who is director of theatre and other side his student who is now Bollywood superstar.

He know everything. But it's wrong actually he didn't know about theatre.he was known about only cinema.
This session  became very knowledgeable for us, because as a student of literature it's a good opportunity to watch drama.This play taught many things related to theater and how can we perform drama well. And both the characters are Gujarati and they performed Hindi drama so it's a good job because it's little bit difficult also. They used very less property as well as in a simple dress ( Black and white clothes) they performed good, because their acting was superb, flashback technique  used well in this dram , and only two characters cover entire stage , and how beautifully both characters means Actor and directer played more role at a same time. Here I'm threw some light on discussion Theater vs cinema .

This are some of  Photos  on discussion on theater vs cinema- 











Theatre:


Theatre is the branch of performing arts; concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience, using a combination of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound and spectacle. Any one or more of these elements is performing arts. In addition to the standard narrative dialogue style of plays. Theatre takes such forms as plays, musicals, opera, ballet, illusion, mime, classical Indian dance, kabuki, mummers' plays, improvisational theatre, stand-up comedy, pantomime, and non-conventional or contemporary forms like postmodern theatre, postdramatic theatre, or performance art . 



Types :


Performing arts may include dance, music, opera, theatre and musical theatre, magic, illusion, mime, spoken word, puppetry, circus arts, performance art, recitation and public speaking.

There is also a specialized form of fine art, in which the artists perform their work live to an audience. This is called performance art. Most performance art also involves some form of plastic art, perhaps in the creation of props. Dance was often referred to as a plastic art during the Modern dance era. 

Cinema:


                               







 There is yet another interesting difference between the Theatre and the Cinema. The Cinema is more democratic, whereas, theatre is authoritative, almost dictatorial. The Director is the dictator. Not only as per auteur theory, wherein director is the author, but actually, director is authoritarian, even in the sense of someone demanding obedience (here, not political). The cinema is collective work. The camera-man, the editor, the sound composure and other crew members can help director and also actor in highlighting the better part and hiding the weakness of the acting / performance. There is no need of strict obedience or military sort of discipline in shooting films. Anything can be re-shoot. The finished product can be changed.

The theatre does not allow this freedom. Even a slight weakness in voice modulation or body gesture is, strictly, not permitted. One has to overcome all sorts of weaknesses before final show. No changes are possible in final performance which happens before live audience. The discipline and obedience to Director, almost the sort of followed by soldiers is demanded in theatre. 


  There is flashback techniques which was well performed it is quit difficult in live drama. Before watching this play i am so wider about another elements of theatre  and cinema threw this play to different way.
The play also follows this structure of plot which was given by Freytag :-
