’TIS THE SEASON FOR STAGE ACT

As the end of the year approaches, the theatre scene perks up

    Tickets for the Prithvi Carnival, which was meant to mark the end of the theatre festival, took place a week later, but with the enthusiasm of the participants intact. The audience turned up in large numbers too, and many had to go back disappointed.
    It was lovely and a warm evening as some theatre regulars like Makrand Deshpande, Utkarsh Mazumdar, Trishla Patel, Lubna Salim and some irregulars like Ila Arun came together to celebrate the space that has contributed so much to Mumbai theatre. Kunal Kapoor looked pleased and watched a lot of the short plays that made up the Carnival, sitting on the carpet. Makrand Deshpande, Sunil Shanbag and Trishla Patel emceed the three sessions, and though the quality of the short plays was uneven, the delight of the evening was not diluted in any way.
    Maximum applause went to Joy Fernandes, who did a piece called Seeing Things with his talented daughter Jonina. He played a harried executive, whose wife has just had a baby, adding to his stress. In a park he meets a precocious little girl, whose parents have left her to her own devices. The encounter leaves him shaken enough to change his own attitude towards family and career. Not just a complete natural, Jonina sings well, too. At the end of the show, she accepted compliments with solemn graciousness.
    Ila Arun and Ravi Jhankal did a riotous piece about Henrik Ibsen and a ‘phad’ painted in his plays in Rajasthan, at the same time, exhorting the theatre to give dates to her group. Ila did a show called Mareechika last year, based on Ibsen’s Lady from the Sea, but has otherwise been away from Mumbai theatre for a while. It’s time for homecoming for her group Surnai.

Meanwhile, over at the NCPA, several theatre groups gathered to present previews of their plays, that will be staged at the Centrestage Festival.
    Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah shared the same space after a long time — both are doing plays at the festival; it would be great to see these two thespians in a play together. Actress Divya Dutta returns to the theatre too, with Om Puri and his production Teri Amrita.
    Pritesh Sodha, who does unusual Gujarati plays like Korat and Pramey, is doing a new play called Made In America, which is very offbeat for Gujarati theatre, but also with the high level of drama they like. It’s about a 25-year-old who suddenly discovers that her mother had opted for sperm donation and she wants to hunt for her real father.
    Faezeh Jalali and Anand Tiwari have set up a new group FAT Productions and are doing a play by David Ives, called All In The Timing. The extract presented was hilarious, with three men trying to attract the attention of three young women, sitting alone in a café and reading — what could the possible outcomes be, when he asks her, “Is this seat taken?” Many, it would appear, and all quite funny. It’s FAT’s debut production, and it shows immense promise.

The ever popular stage pair of Apara Mehta and Feroz Bhagat have revived one of their old hits, by public demand. Adhura Toye Madhura is about a couple left homeless due to the selfishness of their children, and how the old couple teach them a lesson. Adapted by Pravin Solanki from a Paravin Shantaram original, the play sounds grim, but is replete with humour. The show comes back for just 15 shows, so those who like the work Bhagat does with Mehta, would do well to catch it.

And finally… Thespo is just a few days away. The 14th edition of this youth festival has plays from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata and Nagur, along with workshops and music and lots of fun.

Footwear fetish

Believe it or not, actress Madhura Naik believes shoes can change a person’s life! The actress, known for her glamorous characters on the small screen, is quite particular about what she wears off-screen, too. Especially so, when it comes to footwear.
Madhura already has over 100 pairs of shoes and the collection is just growing. She buys a pair or two wherever she goes. Says Madhura, “The fetish is inherent. It just grew bigger with time. I have been blessed with a family, mother especially, who started buying me fancy shoes from the time I took baby steps. I haven’t stopped buying shoes since then. Cinderella is living proof that a
pair of shoes can change your life, so I buy many pairs. I still have my feet on the ground; it’s just that I wear expensive shoes.” We can’t agree more, girl!

New Pentagram video is about becoming conscious of your rights

New Pentagram video is about becoming conscious of your rights
Tomorrow's Decided is the second video of Mumbai based electro-rock band Pentagram, shot from their fourth studio album Bloodywood.
    Fronted by Vishal Dadlani, and produced by one of the most prolific guitarists in Indian music, Randolph Correia, this 14-track album also features Shiraz Bhattacharya on drums and Papal Mane on bass.
    The video was shot amidst the madness of Mumbai’s most crazy party — the Ganpati Visarjan. The song is about changing your mindset and not being afraid of what you want to say. This socially relevant song that was born in the jam room, is today one of the most sought after. “We were in the jam room. Shiraz regularly plays this beat, when we’re jamming, which is a very street beat. Randolph stared to play a riff over it, Papon joined in, and I sang what eventually became the chorus. The song was born like that, out of a natural progression with the band,” shares Vishal.
    Speaking about how the video came about, Vishal shares, “When I was discussing the lyrics for the song in the Juhu band room, we didn’t want it to be directly about standing up for your rights. We wanted to talk about changing one’s mindset and fighting that battle within yourself and becoming more conscious on your own. The song is about where we come from and who we are as a band.”
    He further adds, "Initially, we used to refer to the song as the ‘Ganpati’ song because those are the rhythms you hear at Ganpati. Eventually, I was working with the video’s director Ravi Jadhav on a Marathi film with him, and we spoke about this and he was very excited. We didn’t know how to get the permissions to shoot, and how to set up the band in the middle of visarjan, so he spent a couple of weeks figuring the production out. Most people came around when we told them what the song was about – everyone agreed with the spirit of the song. The whole video could not have happened without Ravi Jadhav.”
    — Akshata Shetty Album of Jimi Hendrix’s unreleased tracks out in 2013
A foreign publication has reported, much to the delight of legions of the guitar legend Jimi Hendrix's fans that 32 years after the star's death, a new album of previously unreleased tracks is expected to hit stores early next year. People, Hell and Angels is a 12-song collection of “experimental” cuts recorded between 1968 and 1969. These tracks were originally intended for the long-shelved First Rays of the New Rising Sun. The songs are said to reflect Jimi’s harderedged later, funkier style of playing as opposd to the psychedelic flourishes of his earlier work.

AFTERTASTE/ ALT-FUNK

AFTERTASTE/ ALT-FUNK
    This band was the brain child of lead guitarist Michael Lee that was formed in 2005, started off as “a bad idea,” but which over the years made some decent music after a change in the line-up, unflinchingly describes vocalist and songwriter Keegan Pereira. Aftertaste started off as an alternative rock
band by Michael, drummer Levin Mendes and bassist Ruell Barretto. The band had witnessed many differences, and subsequently had many fallouts. DJ Amit Bhardwaj who also does samples, joined the crew in 2009, after he was discovered by Keegan literally describing his find “on the streets”. The boys decided to pull up their socks and gave their best shot, thus winning a prestigious rock concert last year.
On their a-ha moment: The transformation of the Aftertaste from an alternative rock sound to an alternative funk is their a-ha moment according to Keegan. They moved from the alternative grunge sound which was majorly guitar-driven to a drum n’ bass sound. And it all began with their song Should We Beckon On which has a funk flavour to it.
On their brand of music: Since their inception till 2009, the music material in their kitty was conjured from their old sound to which they couldn’t relate to and so, they decided to do with away with it and work on fresh material. In 2010, they recorded eight songs for their EP but things didn’t work out in their favour and so, they couldn’t release it. But some of their recorded songs are floating on the web.
Some of their crowd favourite numbers include: Should We Beckon On essentially a political rant about issues of Kashmir, LOC, etc. with an angst feel to it; Think King is a quirky, light-hearted track that resonates well among people is, about a guy trying to get rid of his vices but realises that they are, who he is a person; Operation Water is about a girl who pokes the enthusiasm out a guy who likes her, basically representative of women who are like pricks (no pun intended) with a rap mixed with rock.
On their influences: Each band member has their unique style. Michael’s into progressive rock, Levin and Ruell are into the reggae and hip-hop genre; Keegan's into funk and angst/rebel rock; while Amit's forte lies in psychedelic trance and techno. Collectively, they relate to music of bands like System Of A Down, 311, Tool, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Porcupine Tree.
    In the initial stages, they members were advised to play covers in order to build a fan base and then churn out their original music. However, they didn’t pay heed to this piece of advice dished out to them by other bands, and friends. “Our aim is to churn out quality original music,” proudly states Keegan concluding that was the key to keeping their band together.
On their way forward: As of now till the first few months of 2013, the band wishes to focus their attention to the sole purpose of developing a new sound. This would mean not concentrating on doing gigs. But people can surely expect an image and sound makeover, say Keegan with full determination.

‘THIS BAND IS OUR LIFE... WE GIVE IT EVERYTHING WE’VE GOT’ Chuck Comeau, drummer of Canadian rock outfit Simple Plan talks tunes...

‘THIS BAND IS OUR LIFE... WE GIVE IT EVERYTHING WE’VE GOT’

Chuck Comeau, drummer of Canadian rock outfit Simple Plan talks tunes...

India is traditionally very different from Canada. Do you think your music will catch on over here, given that music is a universal language? Judging from the interactions we had with some Indian fans on social networking websites, it seems like we have a lot of people that hear us. Additionally, we know our songs have been played on TV and on the radio.
What’s your style of playing live? Do you’ll jam out and improvise or stick to the album format? We’re not really a ‘jam’ band. When we play live, one can expect a great mix of new songs from our most recent album Get Your Heart On! and all our “classics” from our three previous records. Our shows feel like a huge party, fun and energetic — like a greatest hits of Simple Plan mixed in with some fan-favourites and some surprises.
What kind of focus and direction do you give your music? This band is our life...we give it everything we've got. It's our passion and the most precious thing we have. We play high-energy, catchy and melodic music. The lyrics are honest and real, words people can relate to. We grew up on Californian punk rock so you can hear some of that influence in our music but with the years, the band evolved and tried all kinds of different sounds. I think we aim to sound like Simple Plan and create our own little style.
What inspires the band? Inspiration comes from our lives, what we go through or what our friends and even our fans go through. It can also come from reading a book, the paper, watching a movie, listening to other bands.... anywhere really!
What’s the creative process like? It's very disciplined. We sit down everyday in the morning and try to write a song until late in the evening. We force ourselves to finish our ideas and we end up with a ton of songs for the album and then we choose 11 or 12 that go on the record. It's not always an easy process to get inspired but we enjoy the results. There's no better feeling that we you hear a final mix of a song and it's living up to its early promises.
When did you first have your breakthrough? I think our first headlining tour in Japan was an eyeopening moment. It was the first time we were selling out shows, had fans waiting at the airport for us and received a gold record. That's when we truly realized we could make it anywhere in the world.
How has it been playing the live circuit across the world? It's been the most amazing experience of our lives. Seeing the world, visiting beautiful places and opening our minds and learning about other cultures…. We always made it a point of honour to go play everywhere where we have fans, even if it wasn't a "traditional" rock tour destinations. We love playing exotic places.
What bands and songs are you’ll currently listening to? David and Sebastien are always playing tons of new bands that are really inspiring. Lana Del Rey gets played a lot these days. It can go from Jay-Z and Kanye West to Jimmy Eat World and Blink to the new Taylor Swift! It's all over the place!
Where do you’ll see yourselves ten years from now? We've been playing for more than 12 years now and we hope to keep going for as long as possible. In 10 years, we hope to still be on stage playing music that we love for our fans.

Ready for home improvement

The swish set of the society were present for the unveiling of Splendour furnishing’s new home decor collection. Said Sharan Parekh, owner Splendour, “We’ve observed a demand for homes to be done up in Rococo, neo-classical and contemporary themes. Young, well-travelled brides love Rococo’s playful and often witty artistic themes. They use elegant and ornate furniture, small sculptures, ornamental mirrors, and tapestry that complement the décor. We put the look together for them. In fact, catering to the demand that we receive from our customers, we shall soon be opening a store in Vile Parle in the beginning of the new year.” Nisha Jamvwal played host. Geetu Hinduja, Malini Agarwala, Pooja Bedi, Dalip Tahil, Sharon Prabhakar were among the guests here.

The Dalai Lama, in Mumbai to celebrate World Compassion Day

Never confuse compassion with weakness

The Dalai Lama, in Mumbai to celebrate World Compassion Day, talks to Pritish Nandy. Excerpts:

Do you occasionally feel that compassion has failed as an instrument of change in recent times? Does this disappoint you? No, compassion never fails. It is our understanding of compassion that occasionally does. We are not always sure what we expect from compassion. That is our failing. We are disappointed because we do not always understand how compassion works. It is a very powerful emotion and only those who have courage and a strong sense of self esteem can afford to be compassionate.
Since you speak in defence of animals and how they need to be protected, have you ever had pets? Yes, birds to begin with. Then some dogs. Now I have a cat. Children should be encouraged to have pets because it helps them to bond with other species and, as they grow older, they understand the importance of compassion in all relationships. It makes them stronger, better people.
You have been recommending vegetarianism? Are you one? Tibetans are not vegetarians by birth. I tried very seriously to be one but because of certain medical reasons I had to give it up after a while. But that does not mean I do not support and recommend vegetarianism. It is the best thing for your health and well being, as any doctor will tell you. We have often been offered money to do poultry farming, rearing animals for food. But I have always turned it down. I would like my people to reduce their intake of meat and meat products. Good health and good eating habits go together. Research shows that food that does not involve killing makes you emotionally stronger.
What is your favourite food?
South Indian vegetarian food. It is nutritious, very tasty and I like it very much.
Does it disappoint you that China does not respond to your voice of compassion? No. I still believe compassion is the only way we can resolve such issues, even in politics. But compassion does not mean weakness. We Tibetans are a strong people. We do not accept defeat so easily. Things are rapidly changing. The China of today is not what it was thirty years ago. Their leaders are also changing. They are no longer so strong and stubborn as they once were. I have every reason to believe that the future will be better than the past.
Are you happy? People sometimes call me the mischievous Lama because I laugh, I smile, I speak in jest. Yes, I believe that nothing can be achieved if you are not happy. But you cannot be happy unless others around you are also happy. So I seek happiness for everyone. People. Animals. Birds. Even insects. As the Japanese believe, even plants and flowers have life and feelings. I do not know about feelings but life they certainly have and we must learn to love and protect anything that has life. That is what compassion is all about. Though sometimes I must confess I do not feel very compassionate about mosquitoes when they come and bite me. (Laughs).

Girls from St Xavier’s won hands down with their dance moves, while Sydenhamites rocked the ramp

Girls from St Xavier’s won hands down with their dance moves, while Sydenhamites rocked the ramp at Clean & Clear Bombay Times Fresh Face 2012

ST XAVIER’S COLLEGE
    It was girl power all the way at St Xavier’s College. Their performances, at the Clean and Clear Bombay Times Fresh Face 2012, left the judges speechless. While one contestant rendered songs in seven languages, including Japanese, another excelled in three art forms — moonwalking, rapping and writing poetry. Yet another contestant showcased her skills in eight different forms of dancing. One participant chose to sing a lullaby in Bengali. Interestingly, many students had participated to overcome their stage fright. Before the contest started, Ayesha Kanga, national winner of The Times of India Fresh Face 2011, boosted the participants’ confidence. She said, “Xavier’s needs to win again. Be weird.” And weird they were. First runnerup among the boys, Tanay Mukhi, turned chai-wallah for the celebrity judge and actress Aditi Rao Hydari, pleading her to sip the tea he was pretending to serve. Winner among the boys, Karan Frese, had a tip for an eco-friendly Mumbai. “It will be nice to have a well-organised car pool system for a clean environment,” he said. Long-distance runner Namrata Sheth convinced everyone that she was a giver — she said she would like to take the ‘Runner of hope’ initiative and run for charity. First runner-up among girls, Aureen Quadros, had the audience clapping and hooting for her when she performed salsa on the famous pungi song. Aditi stunned one and all when she danced in gay abandon on Anarkali disco chali with perfect latkas and jhatkas.
— Seema Sinha SYDENHAM COLLEGE
    Sydenham students sure know what true spirit is all about. There was no dearth of applause, enthusiasm and power-packed performances — in fact, the students enthralled the judges and the audience at the Clean and Clear Bombay Times Fresh Face 2012 contest.
    Sydenham seemed to have a lot of aspiring models, with most of the participants choosing to present ramp walk. Some also left the audience in splits with their mimicry of top Bollywood stars. While Neha Thakur had the audience in rapt attention by crooning the popular number Parda-Parda, aspiring fashion designer Shweta Mehra impressed the judges with her impromptu design of of a sari. The winners of the contest, Anish Sareen and Karishma Raghav, sang and walked the ramp, respectively. Female first runner-up Aishwarya Yadav rocked the stage with her dance moves, while her male counterpart Akshay Patil sang to win hearts.
    However, the star attraction of the contest was celebrity judge, actor Sharman Joshi. He gelled with the crowd and won everyone over with his jokes. Many students dedicated their performances to Sharman. In fact, they even used his film, 3 Idiots, as a reference point during the question-answer round. The actor stole the show when he delivered a dialogue from one of his movies and even sang .— Neha Maheshwri Bhagat

Besides getting her wedding trousseau ready, Vidya Balan is also assisting her beau Siddharth Roy Kapur in doing up their three-bedroom seafacing apartment in Juhu. Sid currently lives as a paying guest in Amrit building on Carter Road, the same building where Shah Rukh Khan owned a flat. Vidya lives with her parents in Anand building on Khar-Danda Road, a few blocks away from Karan Johar’s office. But post their marriage, the couple will move to their new home in Praneta building, Juhu.
Says our source, “Sid reportedly bought this beautiful property from a Parsi gentleman. And currently, it is being refurbished because the newly-wed couple will shift here post their shaadi on December 14.’’
