But it can be improved by practice.”

PUNJABI DANCE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpTG-nsDHa0&feature=em-upload_owner
DATE-13 JAN 2016
The dances are typically performed at times of celebration, such as Harvest (Visakhi), Weddings, Melas (Festivals) like Lohri, Jashan-e-Baharan (Spring Festival) etc., at which everyone is encouraged to dance..
The origins of traditional Bhangra are speculative. Bhangra is related to the Punjabi dance 'bagaa' which is a martial dance of Punjab.
Traditional Bhangra is performed in a circle and is performed using traditional dance steps
They move with passion and relaxed muscles and use lots of energy
The dance moves involve raising the arms above the shoulders
Women dancing modern Bhangra wear a traditional Punjabi dress known as a salwar kameez, long baggy pants tight at the ankle (salwar) and a long colorful shirt (kameez). Women also wear chunnis, colorful pieces of cloth wrapped around the neck.
These items are all very colorful and vibrant, representing the rich rural colors of Punjab. Besides the above, the bhangra dress has different parts that are listed below in detail:
- Pag (turban, a sign of pride/honor in Punjab). This is tied differently from the traditional turban one sees Sikhs wearing in the street. This turban has to be tied before each show.
- Kurta, similar to a silk shirt, with about four buttons, very loose with embroidered patterns
- Tehmat or chadar, a loose loincloth tied around the dancer's waist, which is usually very decorated
- Chagi, a waistcoat with no buttons
- Rumāl, small "scarves" worn on the fingers. They look very elegant and are effective when the hands move during the course of bhangra performance
RAJASTHANI DANCE
Highly cultivated classical music and dance with its own distinct style is part of the cultural tradition of Rajasthan. The music is uncomplicated and songs depict day-to-day relationships and chores, more often focused around fetching water from wells or ponds.
The Ghoomar dance from Udaipur and Kalbeliya dance of Jaisalmer have gained international recognition. Folk music is a vital part of Rajasthani culture. Kathputali, Bhopa, Chang, Teratali, Ghindar, Kachchhighori, Tejaji,parth dance etc. are the examples of the traditional Rajasthani culture. Folk songs are commonly ballads which relate heroic deeds and love stories; and religious or devotional songs known as bhajans and banis (often accompanied by musical instruments like dholak, sitar, sarangi etc.) are also sung.
Reflecting the colorful Rajasthani culture, Rajasthani clothes have a lot of mirror-work and embroidery. A Rajasthani traditional dress for females comprises an ankle length skirt and a short top, also known as a lehenga or a chaniya choli. A piece of cloth is used to cover the head, both for protection from heat and maintenance of modesty called chunari. While Rajasthani women cover their faces with chunari, this practice is called Ghunghat. Rajasthani dresses are usually designed in bright colours like blue, yellow and orange.Their traditional dresses are entirely different from other states traditional dresses. Rajasthani dresses add colour to the culture of rajasthan. The traditional clothing for men includes the angarkha.
DATE-26 JAN 2016
Lavani (Marathi: लावणी) is a genre of music popular in Maharashtra. Lavani is a combination of traditional song and dance, which particularly performed to the beats of Dholki, a percussion instrument. Lavani is noted for its powerful rhythm. Lavani has contributed substantially to the development of Marathi folk theatre. In Maharashtra and southern Madhya Pradesh and North Karnataka, it is performed by the female performers wearing nine-yard long saris. The songs are sung in a quick tempo.
The ladies that perform lavani wear a long sari length around 9 metres. They form a bun (juda in Hindi or ambada in marathi) with their hair. They wear heavy jewellery that includes necklace, earrings, payal, kamarpatta(a belt at waist),bangles etc. They usually put a large bindi of dark red colour on their forehead. The sari they wear is called navvari. The sari is Wrapped beautifully and is much more comfortable as compared to other sari types
DRAMA
WHAT IS DRAMA
Drama is a unique feel to explore and express human felling.drama is an essential form of behaviour in all cultures,it is fundamental human activity. Students learn to transform regular curricular material into effective and transformative drama work, begin practicing teaching methodologies, and explore ways of generating empathy/awareness towards others. These approaches are informed by the pursuit of social justice and awareness of contemporary social issues (e.g. bullying). As well as engagement with many of the basics of theatre creation and production, students learn to effectively write both reflective and critical responses about their experience as well as about the wider field of study.
The SACSA framework defines dram as: ‘the enactment of real and imagined events through role play,play making and performances,enabling individuals and groups to explore,shape and represent idea,feelins and their consequences in symbolic form’
TYPES OF DRAMALet us consider a few popular types of drama:
- Comedy – Comedies are lighter in tone than ordinary writers, and provide a happy conclusion. The intention of dramatists in comedies is to make their audience laugh. Hence, they use quaint circumstances, unusual characters and witty remarks.
- Tragedy – Tragic dramas use darker themes such as disaster, pain and death. Protagonists often have a tragic flaw—a characteristic that leads them to their downfall.
- Farce – Generally, a farce is a nonsensical genre of drama, which often overacts or engages slapstick humor.
- Melodrama – Melodrama is an exaggerated drama, which is sensational and appeals directly to the senses of audience. Just like the farce, the characters are of single dimension and simple, or may be stereotyped.
- Musical Drama – In musical drama, the dramatists not only tell their story through acting and dialogue, nevertheless through dance as well as music. Often the story may be comedic, though it may also involve serious subjects.

2 WORKSHOP ON LAKSHMIBAIA drama workshope was organised in our collage on 11/3/2016 by mr.suresh sharma.It was 2nd workshop in our collage as usuall group of student were participated in this drama.Theme of the drama was to show the contribution of rani laxmi bai for our country. BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF LAKSHMIBAI – Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi (19 November 1828 – 18 June 1858), born as Manikarnika, was the queen of the Maratha-ruled Jhansi State, situated in the north-central part of India. She was one of the leading figures of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and became for Indian nationalists a symbol of resistance to the British Raj.Manikarnika was married to the Maharaja of Jhansi, Raja Gangadhar Rao Newalkar, in May 1842 and was afterwards called Lakshmibai (or Laxmibai) in honour of the Hindu goddess LakshmiShe gave birth to a boy, later named Damodar Rao, in 1851, who died after four months. The Maharaja adopted a child called Anand Rao, the son of Gangadhar Rao’s cousin, who was renamed Damodar Rao, on the day before the Maharaja died. The adoption was in the presence of the British political officer who was given a letter from the Maharaja instructing that the child be treated with respect and that the government of Jhansi should be given to his widow for her lifetime. After the death of the Maharaja in November 1853, because Damodar Rao was adopted, the British East India Company, under Governor-General Lord Dalhousie, applied the Doctrine of Lapse, rejecting Damodar Rao’s claim to the throne and annexing the state to its territories. When British army Sepoys (Indian-born soldiers) rebelled in Jhansi, the Rani was held accountable despite her lack of involvement in the mutiny. In retaliation, the British army led by Major-General Sir Hugh Rose attacked Jhansi in March 1858, and laid siege upon the fort. Lakshmi Bai escaped and was tracked to Banda, where Rose’s forces reported that “… though the fellows did their utmost, she got away … She is a wonderful woman, very brave and determined. It is fortunate for us that the [Jhansi] men are not all like her. Acting of all the student was heart touching they done there work very efficiently.Through the drama we come to know that woman can also rule and can do anything for there family and country protection 3 DRAMA-SARHADEIN
