Introduction
“Lord Byron’s Love Letter” is a short funny play by Tennessee Williams. A small group of Aurovilians performed this play, with two aims:
- To provide the participating Aurovilians in love with theater some acting tools, and the learning process of working directly on a short play, experiencing learning through funny and enjoyable activities.
- To bring theater and culture around the town.
Description of project
Francesca, Jeff, Elke, Anandamay, and Rena acted in “Lord Byron’s Love Letter”. Several performances were given:
- March 20, 8pm, Sacred Groves
- March 21, 8pm, Le Zephyr
- March 22, 5:30pm, Kalabhumi ampitheatre
- Extra performance at Aurogreen
Reflections
It was a nice way to put the community together. Aurovilians still stop me on my way to tell me: Thank you!
Future direction
The intention is to go on with acting/learning activities with adults and kids. I (Francesca) am planning an Auroville kids theater festival which will involve all the primary schools. For the adults, I will continue with short plays.
Conclusion
The success was doing some acting activity which on the end involved the Auroville community. One lesson we took from the experience is: don’t go fast, don’t go big. Do small things, but do them at your best.
