Umang – Our Theatre Initiative

A THEATRE INITIATIVE BY MRITYUNJAYA

What is Umang?

Umang is a set of theater programs drafted & designed specially for those employed in the corporate sector.
The idea behind creation of “Umang” is therapy through theater.
The problems of stress, anxiety, depression, relationship hassles are all part of the dilemma of multiple existences, especially in the urban areas. These need to be addressed in a lesser obvious & more practical way to be able to deal with it.

Why Deal with the issues?

Any employee that is suffering with a psychological problem cannot be an asset to his team or to the organization.
Personal issues that one faces are also brought to the office & the repercussions are to be faced by the entire team.
A happy employee is not just an asset to the organization but also an inspiration for the staff.

Symptoms of Stress:

Physical - Hypertension, Obesity, Diabetes, IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Respiratory problems, Alcoholism, Smoking

Mental – Stress, Anxiety, Lack of concentration, Demeaned performance

Emotional – Depression, Relationship issues, Hyper-sensitivity, Dissatisfaction,Anger

Spiritual - Fear, Lack of faith, Lost to find the “meaning of life”

Why Theatre?

Going by the very famous philosophical words of William Shakespeare:

“All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts”

By staging a play we actually create a world where the players are assigned their roles based on the functionalities of that world. This story further defines their function, their movements, establishes relationships, cultivates unity & above all certifies the significance of each person in that story. The analogy between our life & the simple play we stage further expands the point of view with which we understand life. This broadens one’s perspective, quite literally & with this, the approach to life changes.

Our approach is pretty unique & well planned. With theater we can manage to bring forth such strong characters in every person & also help him/her to come out as much more confident, creative & complete.
