people who opt teaching as a profession inspite of being even lower salaried compared to mechanics or heavy machinery operation.

Art that communicates
Amateur artist Sheenu Palta’s works are impressive in many ways. But their most striking nuance is their directness.
On display at Jodh Gallery (house number 741, Sector 11 B), which has offered a free platform to budding artists, the works are figurative and bold. Executed with admirable ease, they remind the visitor of the finesse of images — drawn with honesty and painted with passion. Untutored, Palta says she never got an opportunity to exhibit till Jodh Gallery happened. “This space is so friendly and inspiring. I could not have thought of sharing my artistic sensibilities with people of the city had not been for the encouragement given by caretakers of this gallery. It’s a perfect space for self taught artists like me.” The works, however, underline Sheenu Palta’s artistic worth, and indicate that she is headed for a bright future.

Mime theatre show by CIPA artists
The ‘strict silence’ on the stage observed by over 15 artists of the Chandigarh Institute of Performing Artists (CIPA) was duly reciprocated with lofty spells of laughter by audience during a captivating ‘Mime theatre show’ held at the Tagore theatre today.
The CIPA director Shyam Juneja claims the full-fledged venture comprising eight solo and group mime performances has the distinction of being the first of its kind in the city which had been preponed during a two-week production-oriented workshop by CIPA. The items were crafted to illustrate the various aspects affecting the life in all its manifestations. After a quiet welcome through display of a play card both versatile actors, Sandeep Chatterjee and Gaurav Sharma attempted to create a jungle on the stage and indulge in hunting a lion with facial gestures and body movements in the opening mimic ‘Target’. Gaurav faints in a prelude to the preying exercise as the artists generated spells of laughter. ‘The Chair’, set in a garden locale, presented struggling moments among old man Parshant and two youngsters Guarav and Sandeep to grab the vacant chair. Then came a solo performance from Mohit fighting against all odds while damned to live in a jungle. This was followed by another solo presentation of ‘Park’ depicting the man in different roles of life. The ‘Doll’ with a multi-dimensional theme and cast was well received. Shyam Juneja took the centrestage to unfold the mysteries of life in ‘Birth to death’ with a philosophical theme. ‘Chor pe chor’ was just humorous but the concluding ‘Girl in the garden’ was more amusing and curiously watched by the audience. The background music by Vijay Chauhan synchronized the actions on the stage. Mohit, Veni, Ranjit Shah, Kamal Naik,Paras Chandla, Renu Jain and others participated.
