Detailed Description

Theatre - Abhinaya, the ancient Indian system of dramaturgy. This performing art of theatre, as the dictionary defines, ”the activity or a profession of acting, producing, directing, or writing plays,” is an art form that has a beautiful pattern of planned design of actions. It's a form of extensive teamworkin which the efforts of each and every member of the production matter a lot for the success of the play, the irony of the situation being that every action of every person who is part of the production is mainly governed by the director of the play. The entire system depends on the directors play of actions. This art form includes the most important and basic elements of design, i.e., lines, planes, textures, colours, space, shapes, and forms.
