CINTAA ने आयोजित की ,एक्टर लिलिपुट की मास्टरक्लास , जहाँ उन्होंने सिखाई अभिनय की बारीकियां


 हाल ही में CINTAA ने लेखक लिलिपुट के साथ , सदस्यों के साथ-साथ गैर-सदस्यों के लिए भी एक मास्टरक्लास का आयोजन किया, जहाँ उन्होंने अभिनेताओं को अपने करियर के प्रत्येक चरण के साथ-साथ अपने प्रदर्शनों की सूची में सुधार करने की सलाह दी।




 मास्टरक्लास के दौरान, लिलिपुट ने अभिनय के लिए अपनी दीवानगी बयान की, जो उनके स्कूल के वर्षों में गया में शुरू हुआ, कैसे उन्होंने उस जुनून को अपनी यात्रा में मार्गदर्शन करने दिया,जो उनके पूरे करियर में प्रेरणाएँ थीं और इंडस्ट्री में भी जो बदलाव हुए हैं उस बारें में उन्होंने बात की।

इसके बाद उन्होंने अपने व्यक्तिगत अनुभवों और छोटी सी कहानियों के बारे में बताया जो शायद आगे चलकर महत्वाकांक्षी अभिनेता अपने करियर में उस हालात से गुजरेंगे। उन्होंने इस बारे में बात की कि कैसे उनके बौनेपन ने उन्हें मजबूत बनाया, क्योंकि उन्हें उस भेदभाव पर हँसना पड़ा तांकि उस बीच रहकर वो आराम से कार्य कर सके।  उन्होंने ये भी कहा कि उन्होंने अपने करियर की शुरुआत में यह बात महसूस की थी कि  शारीरिक रूप से विकलांग किरदार करना आसान हैं उदाहरण के लिए लंगड़ा या अंधे का रोल करना , लेकिन बौनापन कोई ऐसी चीज नहीं है जिसकी नकल एक सक्षम व्यक्ति इतनी आसानी से कर सकता है, क्योंकि ये कोई वास्तविक विकलांगता नहीं है। बस एक छोटा सा कद हैं। फिर उन्होंने दर्शकों को, सभी अभिनेताओं और इच्छुक अभिनेताओं को एक दिए गए दृश्य को करने के लिए कहा, और उन्हें सभी को सलाह दी कि कैसे खुद को और अधिक स्पष्ट रूप से महसूस किया जाए जब आप अभिनय करते हैं।

 यह मास्टरक्लास अंधेरी में सिंटा कार्यालय में सदस्यों टीना घई, अभय भार्गव, संजय भाटिया और सतीश वासन की उपस्थिति में आयोजित किया गया था।

Mumbaikar Lalit Patil captures slums and immortalises their landscape in his canvas


_Parvez Damania, Sudharak Olwe, Madhushree, Rupali Suri,  Rusha Madhwani, Anusha Srinivasan  Iyer, Sanjay Nikam inaugurate Lalit Patil's Landscape of Identities at Jehangir Art Gallery



_
Lalit Patil, a Mumbaikar visual artist from three decades, is a Slum Star in his own right. He actually converts slums into timeless masterpieces.

His exhibition at Jehangir Art Gallery, Gallery 3,  titled Landscape of Identities was inaugurated by Padma Shri Sudharak Olwe, art collector Parvez Damania, playback singer Madhushree and her composer husband Robby Badal, actress Rupali Suri, celeb nutritionist Rusha Madhwani and director-egalitarian earth warrior Anusha Srinivasan Iyer, sculptor-curator Sanjay Nikam among others.

 The artist in Lalit Patil spends his free time not just observing the city, but looks at the slums as his inspiration. "Munbai is a complex place -- it makes space for the denizens that flow into the city and makes them its own. Whether it be with its buildings,  slums and people, they are all enveloped by Mumbai," avers Patil.

The structure of the slums hold a strange fascination for the artist. Says he, "Slums have  an unexpected structure wherein they are houses enveloping the area, with light passing through  darkness, forming shapes. These. Structures  in juxtaposition with huge buildings in the background have their own story to tell. They define the metaphase if the city." This structure of complexity and abstract form replete with human emotion and the bond to stay alive keeps the city alive as much. It is this emotional aspect in the  landscape that excites me most."

Unlike others, Patil prefers spot paintings. He actually visits the slums and captures each moment he 
experiences in his frozen frames. "Each stroke represents an emotion for me," he enthuses.  Patil's conceptual work titled 'Landscape of Identities' is such that  every piece of art has its own definition, a tale, an identity.  He has even made special sections where scrap creates its own canvas. "I believe my works strongly define me, you, the people of Mumbai, us," he concludes.
