Udaan Performing Arts
UDAAN Performing Arts, presents an English play 'Five Grains Of Sugar' About the play - Rajkumar has been requested to write a poem for a compilation to be published.

The filmy mother; her poet brother Pundaleek; Raghu, the school hero; old man Radhey; and the anonymous ‘Truckwala dost’. As Rajkumar talks, the five grains become a single life-game that he has been unknowingly playing for years…and Rajkumar realizes that everyone has a story inside them.

Time buys Money/Money buys Time
Sat Feb 14, 2:30 PM
Kamal Pabba
Two valuable commodities in human life? With these everything works without it everything seems joyless, meaningless and helpless?
Are we good in predicting people’s age or their bank balance?
Have you ever come across events when you have money in your pocket but you just lost something because you had no control over time?
You want to spend more time with your family and friends but why earning money is an obstacle to do so?
Why growing adults pay more attention to money than time and senior citizens pay more attention to time than money?
Do you think all people in the world will be happy and joyful if they have equal money?
Is it possible to eliminate time factor from life, if yes what replacement do you suggest?
Do we all have equal time? If not then why?
What is not possible for money to buy?
Time is money? Do we really understand that? If we understand do we really care of it?
Rich people want more time, poor people want more money!
What are occasions where you would like to negotiate on price and what occasions you like to negotiate with time?
Three stages of time: 1) Past, 2) Present, 3) Future
Two stages of richness: 1) Being Poor, 2) Being Rich
So are we looking for more time or more money? And what is that one thing which aligns these two commodities at one stage. To know the insight of that stage join in our PAL meetup and you will be amazed to know that how only few people pay attention to it and majority never thinks of it.
3 stages of wealth?
- Time is there but money is needed.
- Money is there but time is needed.
- Neither money nor time both needed
Have enough money, have enough time, so what?
With time you became wise, with money you became wiser!

Siyaah Haashiye
Sat Feb 14, 7:30 PM
Sutradhar
SIYAAH HAASHIYE:
Black borders. What is the written word but an attempt to capture feelings and emotions on paper? More often than not, it is a futile attempt. The deeper recesses of the human mind and heart can seldom be explored or expressed with words. Language has its own limitations and yet it can serve as a tool to liberate oneself of feelings like hopelessness or helplessness.
First published in 1947 (the year that India was divided), Siyaah Haashiye is a collection of 32 cameos written by Sa’adat Hasan Manto, often referred to as ‘the original enfant terrible of Urdu literature’. A man who had little regard for the societal or literary norms of any time, Manto tried to capture the truth of humanity and its downfall as he saw it.
Siyaah Haashiye are vignettes of the partition of India; written with the same dark blood that oozed from both sides on a land that was ripped to pieces and has never quite managed to pull itself together yet. More than 67 years have passed; 60 since Manto himself was laid to rest but the bloodstains of that massacre still haunt the generations on both sides of the divide: dates have changed; places have changed and so have names but the nature of man remains the same; the struggle against our own self continues.
written by Sa'adat Hasan Manto and directed by Deepti Girotra and Vinay Varma, which we are staging on 14th and 15th of feb 7:30 pm.

BANDISH
Director : KAMAL SWAROOP

Kamal Swaroop is a dual National Award and Filmfare Award winning film, television and radio director and screenwriter. In 1974 he graduated from the Film and Television Institute and even his student works met with unusual international acclaim. He continued with postgraduate studies at the Institute.

BAMBOO FLUTE . Director : KUMAR SHAHANI .
60 min . 2000 . English with sub-titles
Director : KUMAR SHAHANI
60 min . 2000 . English with sub-titles
'Bamboo Flute' is a musical journey into the history, myth and evocations of the melodic rhythms of the flute, an ancient musical instrument, having a history of more than 4000 years. It works through the creative mode of musical as well cinematographic elaboration suggested by the actual playing of the flute. Through parallel and other configurations, different melodic lines may position themselves in time and space to suggest that the creative act is also the comparison generated by the metaphysics of the flute. The form of the film evolves from the musicality and the specifics of its visual correspondence in architecture, dance, poetry and intersecting axes of color and narrative. A deeply meditative film, and one that challenged the established norm of documentaries, by developing a form where the visual follows and is shaped by audio/music, the film is a celebrated and acknowledged step in the search for new aesthetics of cinema.
Kumar Shahani is one of the most significant filmmakers working in India today. He has developed an epic idiom that engages with contemporary issues. Shahani’s films explore cultural memories embedded in classical Indian art forms, texts and objects. His visual explorations of Indian music and dance, the classical Indian epic and contemporary literature mark his practice as unique in the history of Indian cinema. Shahani also engages with European cinematic traditions. His first feature, Mirror of Illusion (Maya Darpan) 1972, is regarded as India’s first formalist film. His oeuvre is considered alongside renowned directors — Pier Paolo Pasolini, Andrei Tarkovsky, Stanley Kubrick, Jacques Rivette and others — whose work is similarly entwined with the visual arts.

CHITRAKATHI
Director : MANI KAUL
19min .1978 . Konkan, English & Marathi with sub-titles.
Pinguli is an old village on the Konkan coast, about 32 km north of Goa. Here, a unique Thakur community of sixty families haspreserved or hundreds o years three dierent folk forms: Chitrakathi, marionettes and leather puppets. Chitrakathi arose in temples, from the Paithan paintings of mythological iguresand the desankritised epics in vibrant Marathi, following SantDyaneshwar and the non-Brahmin saints of the Bhakti movement. Thisilm traces the evolution of Chitrakathi, a folk form available in the Konkan area of Maharashtra, while revealing the transormation being brought about by modern life.
Arguably the most avant-garde of Indian filmmakers, Mani Kaul has done, perhaps more than anyone else, to open up the cinematic form and to explore the deep ties that cinema has with other classical arts. His cinema is wholly different from the social filmmaking of Parallel cinema, which sometimes sacrifices cinematic examination for partisan politics. Kaul is also one of the few filmmakers from the country who has backed his filmography with a published theoretical framework.

YAADEIN - KAIFI AZMI
Director : AMIA TALWAR
57 min . 1999 . Urdu/English with sub-titles
"Yaadein-Kaifi Azmi" is a feature documentary of 58 minutes durationcommissioned and telecast by Doordarshan in 1999. It traces the earlier struggle of this Leftist activist who was an active member of the Progressive Writer's Movement. Fired with idealism, Kaifi Azmi moved to Mumbai from a tiny nondescript village Mijhwan in Azamgarh District in U.P. and eked out an existence doing odd jobs. This is a simple portrayal of an earthy man documenting his initial struggle in the film industry, his ideologies, the highs and lows of his life and career, his contribution to his village and the legacy of work left behind.
Amita Talwar is a postgraduate in English Literature. She was the founder Editor/Publisher of the popular city magazine Channel 6 brought out from Hyderabad since 1990. She has been trained in Filmmaking from the School of Professional and Continuing Studies, New York University. She is a leading art-photgrapher from Hyderabad.

46 min . 2011 . English with sub-titles -- On well-known poet Hoshang Merchant
MY DEAR GAY TEACHER
Director : SARASWATI KAVULA
46 min . 2011 . English with sub-titles
My Dear Gay Teacher is my attempt to explore the personality behind the Persona called Hoshang Merchant. What lies beneath the exterior and what has been the influences that make Hoshang. A person who is loved, hated, loathed or cared, he brings out different reactions from different People. More well known as the First Declared Gay of Hyderabad, is his continuance in Public Life as a poet and a professor in one of the country's best universities, HCU, a reflection on acceptability of homosexuality in this hitherto conservative society? More than that, to me, Hoshang's life is worth a multitude of films, and I have only managed to make just one, and perhaps, just managed to capture a few aspects of his life. Does this write up, say that my film was partial towards my subject and not rested objective? May be so, but I do hope with this film, I manage to say, "that all is not what it seems to be, and that each of us is a result of our life's experiences".
Saraswati Kavula, a hotel management professional turned filmmaker, she has studied documentary filmmaking from Universtiy of Salford, Manchester, UK. As an independent filmmaker she has made several investigative films about the interconnection of social and environmental and human rights issues.
Some of her films are : Behind the Glitter (45min), Between the Devil and the Deep Sea(73min), The Green Trap (35min), Paradox City (39min), Cutting off a Lifeline (63min), Vision 2020 (6min), Playtime (9min), Coast Under Attack (85min), Seeds of Sovereignty (35min), GLIS(28min)

About The Play - The story is a hilarious take on the 'mantaka' between a typical Hyderabadi couple - The wife, an ever worrying mother of two daughters and her husband, who'd rather take life as it comes.
One day, the wife decides that starting a business on their own is the only way to ensure enough money to pay for her daughter's wedding. Her husband prepares her by presenting her with hypothetical, borderline silly, scenarios, she is likely to come across during the course of running the business.
What are her business plans? Is she dissuaded from her grand scheme of things by her husband?

Snake Awareness - Live demo
Sat Feb 21, 4:00 PM
FOSS
Lamakaan is hosting A Free Snakes Demonstration and Awareness program where the common snakes are displayed & relevant facts are shared. A light is thrown on the common myths, surrounding these misunderstood creatures. By the end of the programme there is a subconscious transformation amongst the viewers and the perception about snakes are changed, with which we achieve our mission of conservation of snakes through knowledge.
We are sure, one would agree that snakes have been a source of fascination and mystery for all of mankind, across various cultures and religions. They are the only creatures which are revered and feared, at the same time. They have their place in ancient scriptures and literature. Few say that they are evil and only mean harm, while others picturize them as god; few facts and a whole lot of fiction. For most of us, just a sight of a snake, slithering past us might send a chill wave down our spine. So, do we fear them because they are secretive and elusive? Is it that they could kill us with a venomous bite? Or is it just that we lack enough knowledge about them? No matter what the answer is, the fact is that we know very less about these misunderstood slitherers. Rightly said by Chief Dan George, "If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know you will fear. What one fears one destroys." The Friends of Snakes Society aims to remove the fear by spreading awareness amongst the common man with the help of this powerful tool, FOS Awareness Programme.
Agenda of the Awareness Programme
--> Detailed description of different varieties of common species of snakes.
--> How to differentiate between venomous and non-venomous species?
--> Importance of snakes and wildlife conservation.
--> Throwing light on myths and misbeliefs.
--> First AID for snake bites.
--> Q&A
--> Information about python before concluding the programme.
Open to all and Entry is Free.

Anchor - A book launch &High Tea
Sat Feb 21, 5:00 PM
Harper Collins
Harper Collins welcomes you to an evening of a book launch - of "Anchor" by Avik Chanda - in conversation with a discussion with noted journalist Kingshuk Nag.
Avik Chanda’s debut novel 'Anchor' presents a picture of Bengal in the late 1990s, a vast metropolis bustling with life and, serving as its foil, a tiny fictional village more than seventy kilometres away, where villagers risk losing their homes, farm land and finally even their lives.
About the book:
"Anchor" is a fictional account of a firebrand ex-Naxal who seems to have gone missing at a critical juncture. A veteran journalist accompanied by a young and naive sub-editor determined to find the truth. A suave but ruthless politician with a hidden agenda, equally determined to stop the truth from getting out.A gang of hardened criminals ready to do his bidding in cohorts with the police.Helpless villagers who are mere pawns in a bigger game.And a group of anxious editors waiting in the claustrophobic newsroom of The Sentinel for the night to pass and the next day's 'anchor' to unfold in the killing fields of a village on the outskirts of Kolkata.Over the course of an unforgettable, stifling, rain-soaked night, the lives of these characters intertwine, clash and are changed inexorably. In Anchor, Avik Chanda presents a picture of Kolkata in the late 1990s, and serving as its foil, a tiny fictional village, where people risk losing their homes, land - and finally, even their lives.
About the author:
Born in Calcutta, Avik Chanda graduated from Presidency College, followed by a master's at the Delhi School of Economics. He pursues a career in consulting but has also moonlighted in the past as a freelance journalist, painter and poet, with two published collections to his name. Presently, Avik resides in Hyderabad with his wife, Shikha.
All are welcome. Entry - Free.

Caught btwn Dacoits&Mining Mafia
Fri Feb 27, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan program committee
Lamakaan invites you for a presentation and discussion with India's conservation man K K Muhammad of ASI.
Caught between Chambal Dacoits and Mining Mafia
The thrilling story of Challenging Temple conservation in Chambal valley
Bateshwar group of temples located fifty kilometres from Gwalior is deep in the Chambal Valley. The surrounding area is infested with the dreaded dacoits where nothing can be done without their express permission. Here more than two hundred temples of 8th-11th century were lying in a highly ruinous condition, as if a massive earth quake had reduced them to fragments and stones. The presence of the dacoits was a blessing in disguise as no smuggler had the courage to smuggle out sculptures from the complex.
After protracted negotiations by Mr K.K Muhammed,then the Chief of Archaeological Survey of India in MP, with the dacoits, out of two hundred temples, eighty temples have been pieced together with meticulous care and precision. Here like the proverbial phynix,a temple town came in to life from its own ashes and debris. There still remains buried, the remains of hundred and twenty temples waiting to be excavated and restored.
In the meanwhile the combined action of MP and UP Police shot down and killed the dacoits one by one. Once free from dacoits, the area was taken over by the powerful group of mining mafia. Their rampant mining and its vibrations brought down the conserved temples. As the letters to various departments and Ministers failed to stop mining, Mr Muhammed was forced to take up the issue with the then Sarsang Chalak of RSS,Late KS Sudarshan.As a result of his intervention mining was stopped but not before violent show of strength between the armed mining mafia and the police. In the end the police was able to crush the mafia. Thus calm prevailed in the area.
But it was a lull before the storm. Once Mr Muhammed was transferred to Delhi mining restarted at Bateshwar with renewed Vigour. A young IPS officer Mr Nagendra Kumar who mustered courage to stop mining was crushed to death by a truck loaded with illegally quarried stones. Many officials like Mr Narendra kumar paid with their life for protecting the environment.
Happily Mr. Muhammed who spearheaded the project is there with you to share the anguish and agony of fighting with the powerful group of Mining mafia and joy and pleasures of reconstructing eighty temples from bits and pieces.

Kafkaland -Book intro&Discussion
Sun Mar 1, 6:00 PM
Lamakaan program committee
'Kafkaland' -
Prejudice, Law and Counterterrorism in India By Manisha Sethi.
Kafkaland explores the grisly underbelly of counterterrorism, where prejudice and lawlessness are the standard operating codes. From Mumbai to Bangalore, to Delhi to Madhya Pradesh, it examines some of the most prominent terror cases to show that the hallmark of terror investigations is not simply a casual subversion of norms but cynical prejudice and brutal violence inflicted in the knowledge of absolute impunity. It also examines the disquieting trend of judicial abdication, wherein the courts indulgently ignore signs of torture, lack of evidence and absence of procedural norms, while trying terror cases.
Kafkaland challenges the dominant narratives of counterterrorism and the emerging security-industrial complex. Kafkaland is where impunity, bias, suspicion are sustained by laws, where erosion of constitutional guarantees is advertised as internal security, where corporate greed masquerades as national interest.
After the book introductions, we will have various eminent panelists Kingshuk Nag, Vasudha Nagaraj, L Ravichandar, Anant maringanti and author Manisha Sethi discussing the broader themes the book deals.
Manisha Sethi is currently Fellow, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library. She teaches at the Centre for Comparative Religions and Civilizations, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. She is also Associate Editor at Biblio: A Review of Books. Her book Escaping the World: Women Renouncers among Jains was published in 2012. Sethi is an activist with Jamia Teachers’ Solidarity Association (www.teacherssolidarity.org).

Ocean of Tears - Film
Sat Mar 7, 5:30 PM
Lamakaan program committee
On the eve of women's day screening a film.
'Ocean of Tears' is a 2012 Kashmiri short documentary film directed by Bilal A Jan. The documentary depicts the sufferings of Kashmiri women in the course of the turbulence of the past two decades. It features the plight of the women of Kunan Poshpora - victims of the 1991 mass rape by the army, and those of the families of the hundreds of missing people, besides other excesses.
The Kunan Poshspora incident occurred on February 23, 1991, when units of the Indian army launched a search and interrogation operation in the village of Kunan Poshpora, located in Kashmir's remote Kupwara District. In the name of search and interrogation, more than 50 women were raped and tortured. However, Human Rights organizations have reported that the number of raped women could be as high as 100. Its been 24 years since the incident transpired but justice still evades the survivors of the mass rape.
Screening will commence at 5 PM which will be followed by discussion of the movie and human rights violations happening due to decades of structural sexual violence in Kashmir.

Father May Be an Elephant and...
Sun Mar 8, 4:30 PM
Gogu Shyamala
Father May Be an Elephant and Mother Only a Small Basket, But… is English version of Telugu book by Gogu Shyamala.
She will be reading the excepts and narrating tales of her life in subtle manner evoking lightness and empathy at Lamakaan at 5pm on 8th March.
This is followed by a shadow puppetry show on the eve of women's day depicting various atrocities against them.
Gogu Shyamala’s stories dissolve borders as they work their magic on orthodox forms of realism, psychic allegory and political fable. Whether she is describing the setting sun or the way people are gathered at a village council like ‘thickly strewn grain on the threshing floor’, the varied rhythms of a dalit drum or a young woman astride her favorite buffalo, Shyamala walks us through a world that is at once particular and small, and simultaneously universal.
Set in the madiga quarter of a Telangana village, the stories spotlight different settings, events and experiences, and offer new propositions on how to see, think and be touched by life in that world. There is a laugh lurking around every other corner as the narrative picks an adroit step past the grandiose authority of earlier versions of such places and their people—romantic, Gandhian, administrative—and the idiom in which they spoke. These stories overturn the usual agendas of exit—from the village, from madiga culture, from these little communities—to hold this life up as one of promise for everyone.
With her intensely beautiful and sharply political writing, Shyamala makes a clean break with the tales of oppression and misery decreed the true subject of dalit writing.

Vilasini Natyam &Kuchipudi dance
Tue Mar 10, 7:00 PM
Feet on Earth
Lamakaan celebrates its 5th anniversary with events from 10-15th March.
Opening this week-long celebrations is an enchanting "Vilasini Natyam" by Pujita Krishna Jyoti a well decorated performer in this fast receding dance of Vilasini dance - a fore runner to BharataNatyam and other classical dances.
Pujita Krishna Jyoti represents the young face of Vilasini Natyam – the rare dance form of Andhra Pradesh revived from extinction. She is also a Kuchipudi dancer, trained under Dr. Anupama Kylash and Dr. Vedantam Ramalingam Shastry. She is also a student of Vilasini Natyam under Padmabhushan Swapnasundari. Apart from Kuchipudi and Vilasini Natyam, she has also briefly studied Bharata Natyam, Kathak and Odissi.
Pujita was awarded Medici Scholarship for the Arts at UCI. She received grant by the Center for Asian Studies for her thesis titled 'Revival of Vilasini Natyam at the Ranganathaswamy Temple, Hyderabad'.
During the time at the University of California, she had the privilege of being under the direct guidance of Donald McKayle, a former Martha Graham company member and an illustrious name in modern dance in America, with whom she studied choreography for stage. Further, she had the unique advantage of taking classes in the Horton and Paul Taylor technique of modern dance. She have had an eclectic training in Jazz, having learned elements of Broadway school of Jazz and that popularized by Mad Maddox, now being taught at UCI by the London based dancer and choreographer Sheron Wray. She has also received some instruction in world dance forms like Flamenco and Afro-Brazilian and recreational/social dance forms like Argentinian Tango, Swing, Waltz and Salsa.
History of Vilasini Natyam:
The cultural history of the Telugu people indicates the existence of two formal dance streams - One performed by men (Purusha Sampradaayam) and the other by women (Stree Sampradaayam). References to a Sthree Sampradayam abound in the archival, epigraphic and literary sources, establishing the vital artistic presence of female singer -dancers in temples, royal courts and public theatres, certainly from the 10th century AD. They were referred to by various terms including Vilasini, Swamini and Bhogini, (colloquially Saani and Bogam) and their troupes termed Chinna Melam or Nattuva Melam. By mid 20th century, these artists were called the Kalavantulu - a term which derives from Kalavati (a woman who excels in the arts). When the Anti-Devadasi Dedication Act was passed, the consecration of singer-dancers in temples was banned. It was then that the art of the Kalavantulu began to decline. Saanis and Bhogams were distanced from mainstream social life only thereafter.
Vilasini Natyam represents the ritual, ceremonial and dance operatic legacy of this group, a section of whose last living artists have taught dancer Swapnasundari. This art differs in technique from the Purusha sampradayam presently represented by Kuchipudi. Though Vilasini Natyam movements appear quintessentially feminine, its hundred-odd Adavus (dance-units) include the Tandava (vigorous) and Lasya (soft) aspects. Vilasini Natyam's complex Abhinaya is widely admired. Its extensive repertoire comprises Temple dances, Court dances and Dance operas of the hereditary female singer-dancers of Telugu origin.
