Folk Dance and Folk Theatre have been a vital means of
Communication during ancient times, owing to its interpersonal
and interactive appeal. Nrityanjali Academy has taken up the
role to use these popular art forms to address various
social problems of the society and use this as a medium
of social communication.
The role of Folk dance and theatre in social development
is a widely acclaimed fact today. Literacy campaigns and several
issues such as adult-education, Environment, child labor,
Population control, women abuse and the problem of dowry have
been skillfully dealt with the medium of Folk dance and theatre.
Nrityanjali Academy has conducted several workshops and
performances for Andhra Pradesh AIDS Control Society and
others. The Academy has also taken up training of youth in
the slums on the nuances of Folk theatre. They are taught
to prepare a script, how to play different parts and finally
to communicate, using the medium of Folk theatre, in their
propaganda for social development at the grassroots level.
Easy to develop without much costs folk theatre can be used
effectively for social development in slum areas. A good background
story script, a few artists with basic training added with
creativity and a dash of interest are all that is required
to make a good show.
The Academy feels that theatre can make education more lively
and can be used as popular and powerful medium for the conscious
communication of ideas, concepts and solutions.
