On the night of Monday, September 9 (tomorrow), “The Performance 12: Fountains of Emotions” will be staged at the National Cultural Centre from 8 pm. This public performance by the students of the National School of Theatre Arts and Drama (NSTAD) will close the curtains on the end of another year of study at the institution.
With this production, the students will be looking to impress not only the audience but the examiners, since this is their final test before they qualify for the Diploma in Theatre Arts and Drama. They will perform four short plays, reflecting the forms, styles and techniques that they have been studying and researching in class.
Six months ago, the NSTAD students had their first public production for the year – “The Performance 11: Ancient Secrets”. In that, their focus was ritualistic theatre, which they researched and studied at the school. That production included the students of the Diploma in Creative Writing, who had to write ritualistic plays for the drama students to perform. It also fulfilled a requirement for the creative writers since they had to have public exhibitions of their work as well.
