Reflection Video
This is a short documentary I made reflecting on my brief time at The Kattaikkuttu Gurukalam. I miss you all so much and I hope you enjoy the video!
Belarusian Free Theatre
This is a great article on the Belarusian Free Theatre!
Belarus is described by many activists as “The last dictatorship in Europe”
Inspired by the Belarusian Free Theatre, several theatre organizations have band together and organized an international theatre festival called Belarusian Dream. Several plays about Belarus written by playwrights from around the world will be performed on March 25th, the “unofficial” holiday know as Belarusian Freedom Day. The theatre organizations putting up the plays range from professional to college, and can be found across the globe. Bennington College will be putting up four of these plays on March 25th, as well as other performances throughout the term. Stay tuned for more on Belarusian Dream, The Belarusian Free Theatre, and Bennington College’s productions of the plays.
If you missed out…..
The link to the live-streaming of the March 1st Event in Chennai by Kattaikkuttu Gurukalam, featuring a performance of Pakadai Tukil by the Gurukalam’s Apprentices, will still be active for the next two months. This is a great opportunity to see some amazing contemporary Tamil Nadu theatre!

The Last Shoot
Back at Bennington and missing Kattaikkuttu Gurukalam already! My second to last night was spend shooting one last video. Above is a photo of us on set. On the left is the brilliant Kattaikkuttu actress Tamilarasi dressed as one of her favorite characters. On the right is the the incredible drummer Selva dressed as Harry Potter. I’m the one in the middle, who’s not dressed in a costume for once in her life (ironically). Click the link below to see our movie, and see more awesome videos of Tamila performing on her Youtube!
Kattaikkuttu Gurukalam
I’ve spent the past six weeks working as a costume designer/ video documentarian for Kattaikkuttu Gurukulam Theatre School and Kattaikkuttu Young Professionals Theatre Company in Tamil Nadu India. So sad my internship is coming to an end when it feels like it’s just begun! See the links below to watch some cool videos of the rehearsals for the March 1st performance of Pakadai Tukil in Chennai, then book your tickets, or tune in to the live-streaming. The videos were created by yours truly!
