Theatre : 3 Ways it will Advance Your Personality Development?


Theatre will enrich our way of looking into the world and interpret it. Involving in it passionately will help you to explore yourself into the untapped depths of the self. Being a social media enthusiast, my personal passion lies strongly in involving myself with art and its other forms. It includes Theatre, Painting, Film-festivals which screen documentaries and art films with high cinematic value. Even though I am not an active performer in these ventures, I have deep down connections with people from artistic background who are facing challenges in promoting their events to their set of audience. So I have committed myself to spread the awareness of theatre which also can be life-changing for many people like me.


In this article by Akshay, one of the most popular theatre personality in Bangalore establishes that it is the best way to find your emotions coming out with the fullest expressiveness. Because you forbid from doing so in public life fearing to societal limitations. He quotes “Theatre gives you an opportunity to relish, wash out all your deepest, darkest and most intense emotions through the most dignified manner ever”. He continues to make bold comments on how the theatre will be a supplement to drive you out from this materialistic world by telling “Theatre and sex are the only two things that a human can enjoy, rest can be done by any other creature in this damn materialistic world.

Om Prakash Behera, Director, Ravenshaw Theatre explains how it is helpful for a student to involve in theatre training. He tells that theatre magnifies the personality of a student and builds confidence in him/her. The students become good at expressing inside and outside the classroom.  In the time when students life is considered as the most important phase of a development of a civilized man, this can be understood with the special emphasis. As many psychologists tell, a student in his younger stage of learning can be allowed easily to understand the civilian basics. One comment which impressed me in above article was “Taking part in theatre has enhanced my ability to handle different types of emotions among peer groups and with society at large”.


Based on thoughts on these theatre experts, I would like to summarize three things which Theatre can make us to promote our way of life.

  1. Exploring the Self : When we involve in theatre, it makes us to understand ourselves better. In the era when every individual will follow certain pattern of living owing to society's reputations, it helps us to understand what we are. This spiritual insight will empower us to make decisions which are autonomous and fresh in terms individuality.
  2. Being more Expressive : Since we live the urban culture which always subjugate our natural thoughts and makes us be more imitative according to the professional needs, Theatre can enrich our passion to come out of it and express our-self. It will allows us to accept our-self first and then moving forward which will show the roadmap for infinite possibilities of this Life.
  3. Effective Child Development : In heavy load of school curriculums and pressure to keep on track for it, many students deep down their minds are loosing the original nature of mental growth. The main problem is that they are afraid to talk to their parents, friends and also to teachers on issues they are facing. There are many Theatre workshops which run only on weekends. By involving our children with them, we can expect greater intellectual development of our future citizens.

There are many advantages in involving in theatre which can be experienced when we really jump into it. Many people who were dull in their personal life has come out and have become public icons by involving in theatre.
