Everyone who is there is the right person. It is like an unconference, but for drama games. It's a space for you to fail," says Sanyukta Saha, founding members of Delhi-based Aagaaz Theatre Trust talking about their two-and-a-half-year-old initiative Drama Jam. Every second Sunday, a park in the Nizamuddin West area in New Delhi comes alive with 35 to 40 adults (and some children) with chatter and games. Anyone can be a facilitator and you can bring any game that you would like people to play. While this monthly three-hour-long ritual first began in partnership with Theatre Professionals Mumbai in 2017, it has continued to run independently since.
Aagaaz Theatre Trust, founded as an applied theatre organisation in 2015 with inclusivity as a guiding principle, is known for its work in Nizamuddin basti, for introducing children in the neighbourhood to the wonders of stage acting. Over the years, they have produced acclaimed works including Duniya Sabki, Bhagi Huyi Ladkiyan and more recently, Rihla, that have made it to theatre festivals around the country.
