Two decades ago, theatre as a full-time vocation was not possible. Today there are numerous career options within contemporary theatre – weather you want to act, direct, start your own acting school or teach in drama institutes, and even as preparatory to entry into television and/or cinema. The stage being an excellent medium for artistic expression, humour and talent, most progressive schools have also integrated drama and theatre into their curriculums.
The premier institutes which offer formal training in theatre and related disciplines are the National School of Drama, New Delhi and the Film & Television Institute of India, Pune. Moreover, several universities in the country offer acting and dramatic arts study programme. Among them: Bangalore University; Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata; M. S. University, Baroda; Academy of Theatre Arts of Mumbai University; Natya Academy, Lucknow. Institutes offering short-term acting courses have also mushroomed countrywide.
Theatre is a creatively satisfying vocation but requires enormous amount of hard work, focus and discipline, besides interaction with a large number of creative and often temperamental people. But if all goes well, there’s no greater high than public applause and the standing ovation.
