The
YT Theatre Lab was created with an intention to create newer
forms and styles. It is also to encourage members and others
within the group to explore beyond what is usually known .Currently
at the Yours Truly Theatre Lab a play called "Mauve"
is being put into place. The play is directed by Ranji and is
an Indo-French collaboration. The play is completely exploratory
in nature. This play will hit Bangalore by December.
Previous
Lab works include
1. Complete the story
Here a regular scripted story is stopped somewhere in the midway
and the audience is asked to end the story, after which the
actors enact the ending on the spot.
CTS was done as a public production in 2006 with 4 different
stories and in 4different languages; English, Hindi, Kannda,
and Tamil
2.
Perspective Theatre
Here a story is taken and redone under each of the
characters influence. A simple story is looked from another
character's perspective which throws light on that situation
and scene and it only tell us how differently we all as humans
look at a single incident.
The play CLT+ALT+DEL directed by Nandini was performed with
this style of theatre
3.
Men are from mars and women are from Venus
Many of us are familiar with the book ’man are from mars
and women are from Venus’. Our concept is similar to that.
Taking form from psychodrama, we have come up with this very
interesting concept.This is show is strictly for couples, married
and unmarried. Stage is set like court, girl on one side and
boy on another. we ask one couple to come and share some incident
which involves both of them and their respective perspective
about how it happened. Then this is performed by our actors.
We also have a professional physiatrist or counselor, who then
advices on how they could have handled situation better etc.
The same incident is performed again by actors but now including
counselor’s suggestions.
