Theatre as Personality Development - Akshay Chaaruvaaka

Theatre will trigger three vital partitions of the self. Mind, body and the inner energy called soul . It is by far the most safest method of channelizing one's surrealistic and realistic emotions. You cannot kiss a girl in-front of every one in reality . Well! You will have that in your mind but cannot express it. You feel like shouting your guts out on a lonely road and drain out crying loudly towards the open skies but you cannot do it in real. Can you ?? Well ,theatre gives you an opportunity to relish, wash out all your deepest, darkest and most intense emotions through the most dignified manner ever. Every attention seeker in this world, some call it 'ego', some 'empathy', some 'sympathy' but the true sense is every one needs to get noticed. Well, theatre gives you that. In this world its not the good or bad that matters, what is of primal importance is how well off are you in this world and how happy and true are you to yourself.

“Theatre and sex are the only two things that a human can enjoy, rest can be done by any other creature in this damn materialistic world.”

Theatre recovers, discovers and defines the you in you. Money can just buy you things that will give you pleasure, drugs can just give pleasure instantly, a wine will give a propel, but not in your consciousness. But theatre will make you transcend a state that cannot be bypassed by any other materialistic drug in this universe apart from music, literature and yoga. Well all the three other needs immense practice but acting needs no practice. I am damn sure that every one of you have anger, lust, greed, fear, happiness, sadness in you. All you have to do is just vomit them out ! without even thinking that someone will see hear or judge you ! After all 'who' is that some one . That some one who has no courage to come out and perform ! well atleast you are trying it ! so why hesitate ! Theatre and sex are the only two things that a human can enjoy, rest can be done by any other creature in this damn materialistic world ! Theatre does not make you special! rather it makes your more simpler. It just drills you out of fakeness and makes you to be original !!! Make you feel god !

Well, are you happy ?
As soon as you are into this planet, you are dependent on one or the other. Oxygen to breathe. Well, are you happy ? No... Then you come across a disease called hunger. Well mother earth will satisfy your need but are you happy ? of coarse not ! Why will you? You need more and more and more. Well earth can satisfy your need not your greed. Well ! then how do you satisfy it! Your mind wants you to be everything in this world doctor, engineer, sports men, star, murderer, father, mother anything and everything. As brain is like water, it takes the shape of any vessel it is poured into. In this case, the vessel is your desires. Well having desire is not bad !!!! that is the sole reason why man became god on this planet !! but that desire should not drain you !! it should not make you work hard ! so what do you do ! practice theatre !!!! You can become a doctor without spending lakhs and years. You can be anything you want. You can be the creator of your destiny. As long as it keeps you happy and people believe you in that character even for an hour on stage. Its more than enough for your mind to get saturated on that desire and then you can move on to your next desire !
