Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 17: The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), in association with the National Theatre UK, is about to conclude the third edition of Connections India—a unique theatrical initiative that brings professional theatre experiences directly to the youth of Mumbai. The program this year, which commenced in August 2024 and will reach its culmination in January 2025, continues in its mission to unlock the creative potential of young minds from various schools and allows them to thrive in a collective creative platform.

This year, 16 schools, colleges, and NGOs across Mumbai will perform plays commissioned by the National Theatre UK as well as the NCPA. For the first time two plays written by Indian playwrights are a part of the line-up. The plays cover a wide variety of topics, from grief and anxiety to success and climate change. Connections India will culminate in the Connections Festival, to be held between the 16th to the 26^th of January 2025 where each school gets to perform their play at the Experimental Theatre at the NCPA.

Under the expert guidance of industry professionals, students have gained hands-on acting experience. Professional theatre directors worked with students of each institution, providing feedback and leading the students through the rehearsal and performance process. Teachers from each school and college also supervised rehearsals and helped students gain the confidence to perform in a public setting. Throughout the programme, students and teachers participated in workshops by leading theatre practitioners to enhance their acting, voice, and technical knowhow.

The NCPA and National Theatre are continuing to make Connections India more inclusive and diverse with each iteration of the program. This year, schools from NGOs like Teach for India, Akanksha Foundation, Angel Express, and the Aseema Trust – who have previously participated in Connections India – were a part of it this year. First-time participants include the Jai Vakeel Foundation, a school for intellectually disabled students. Other participating schools and colleges include Bombay International School, Wilson College, The German School (DSB), and the Aditya Birla World Academy (ABWA), among others.

Bruce Guthrie, Head of Theatre & Films, National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), shared his excitement for Connections India 2025: “At the NCPA, we believe that participating in theatre is crucial for today’s youth—helping them develop not only as performers but also as individuals. Connections India is made possible through the generous support of Tata Trusts, the M.K Tata Trust, JSW Foundation, and Godrej Agrovet. Their commitment to fostering education and the arts is enabling future generations of theatre-makers and artistes. The initiative is also proud to announce the Museum of Solutions (MuSo) as its official Festival Partner; MuSo’s ethos of inclusivity and accessibility perfectly aligns with the values of NCPA Connections India. By embracing diversity and promoting collective learning, the Museum empowers young people to think ambitiously and take concrete steps toward creating a better future for all. Together, these partnerships will ensure that NCPA Connections India continues to be a platform for creativity, collaboration, and the spirit of theatre among the youth.”

Sharing the idea behind the initiative, Shernaz Patel, Creative Learning Director, Connections India said, “Connections celebrates young people – they are the artists, the singers, dancers and backstage teams. But most importantly these are their stories written by some of the best international playwrights. These plays speak to young people. They are funny, poignant and hard hitting. They are about issues that matter to them. What we add to this incredible initiative is NCPA’s professional expertise – directors, production and technical excellence that lift these plays and make them come alive on stage. Everything we do at the festival from the decor, food, outdoor entertainment, workshops, adds to this unique and important celebration of what it means to be young in today’s India”.

Ragini Singh Khushwaha, Creative Learning Producer, Connections India, shared the initiative’s journey: “Connections India has witnessed incredible growth in just three years, establishing itself as a vital platform for young people in theatre. It offers a much-needed space for creating and performing plays that resonate with their experiences. More than just theatre, it brings together young people from diverse backgrounds to collaborate, learn, and share their stories with audiences who see the world through their eyes.”

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 07: When musical maestro Anup Jalota and his protégé Sumeet Tappoo unveiled their collaborative album Legacy at a star-studded event in Mumbai, it wasn’t merely the launch of a collection of songs — it was the celebration of a four-decade-long Guru-Shishya bond that transcends geography, time, and genres. Held at the opulent JW Marriott, the event was attended by stalwarts like Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, Anuradha Paudwal, and Jaspinder Narula, adding to the album’s prestige.

The seven-track album composed beautifully by Prithvi Gandharv is a rich tapestry of classical, devotional, spiritual, ghazal, Sufi, and geet music, showcasing the duo’s versatility and artistic depth. Each track is a window into the profound connection they share, not only as mentor and student but as kindred spirits united by their love for music.

“Chaturang” stands out as a classical marvel rooted in the Shyam Chaurasi Gharana, brimming with technical brilliance and emotive depth.

“Prabhuji Tum Chandan Hum Paani” written by Prithvi Gandharv is a devotional masterpiece enriched by a live symphony orchestra, exuding reverence and tranquility.

The hauntingly beautiful “Raabta” Raabta written by Prashant V Shrivastav delves into the nuances of human emotion, while “Meherbaniyan” written Pinky Poonawala brings a vibrant Sufi charm.

Contemporary pieces like “Shaayad” featuring lyrics of the legendary Ahmed Faraz and “Safar” written by Prashant V Shrivastav infuse fresh energy, appealing to modern sensibilities.

The meditative “Hari” written by Prithvi Gandharv concludes the album on a spiritually uplifting note, resonating as a prayer for global peace.

The event also celebrated the extraordinary journey of Jalota and Tappoo. Jalota’s reminiscence of discovering a young Sumeet in Fiji — a toddler captivated by his concerts — encapsulates the serendipity of their bond. Tappoo’s heartfelt gratitude for his mentor reflects the depth of their relationship, making the album a deeply personal and emotional offering.

Adding to the poignancy of the event was the unveiling of a nostalgic photograph from 40 years ago, capturing a young Sumeet with his Guru on a beach in Fiji. This visual encapsulates the album’s essence: a tribute to time, tradition, and transformation.

Legacy is more than an album; it is an experience. It bridges the traditional and the contemporary, weaving stories of devotion, harmony, and evolution. With this release, Jalota and Tappoo have not only gifted the world a musical masterpiece but have also reaffirmed the timeless relevance of the Guru-Shishya tradition, and a heartfelt symphony of art and emotion that will resonate for generations to come.
