Seven Steps to do a Play (Proscenium)

1. Identify a story line for your play. It could be a famous story or it could be something that you or your friends have written.Remember, the storyline forms the meat of the play and if you have an interesting storyline or script it just makes your job much more easier to your actors.

2. Ensure your actors are committed and have a basic ability to act. Either actors are talented or are willing to work hard. Both work in the theatre. 

3. While 'blocking' or fixing moves on stage for the actors, ensure you are using the stage very well. Use more parts of the stage as it adds to the visual appeal and kills the monotony which can otherwise very easily set in when actors are using only one part of the stage, unless it is part of a very deliberate deirectional design.

4. Use appropriate costumes and props and ensure that your  actors rehearse with props. Costumes and props long with suitable sets adds to visual appeal and helps the actor to stay in charater and also notch up good points for your team.

5. Voice projection is very important. Ensure that your actors are projecting their voices to the mikes which will ensure that your audience will hear evrything you say on stage.

6. Rehearsals are the only means to do a good performance. Don't postpone your best acting for the show date. Practise, practise and practise. Perseverance is the key to a good show.

7. If you have lots of properties or sets that need constant moving and shifting, you have to ensure that you have a good backstage team ready. Your backstage team like your actors, must be a dedicated unit, and prepared to practise a lot. On stage, evrything should move like clockwork.

Stage Delight

The Blossoms Stage event took a rocking start with the music and dance extravaganza put up by the students of CUIM.  From the soothing Indian melodies & electrifying acoustic music to the classical & contemporary dance moves; the stage event covered different genres of music & dance.

The students came forward in great numbers and the sheer energy, enthusiasm and excitement with which they participated was indeed amazing. The participants with their scintillating performances took the audiences into a different world. There was rhythm and melody in the air. Students from Kengeri Campus also participated. 

The event was a great success and was marked by close competition.
Special Thanks to our Director Father Thomas T.V., Faculty Co-ordinators Prof. Anirban Ghatak and Prof. Vedha Balaji, with their presence and motivation the students were encouraged to be more enthusiastic.

Student Co-ordinators, Event Managers and Volunteers have ensured great success to the end of Art events.
