TAW will celebrate its 50 anniversary in February 2016. ==Foundation and history== In December 1963, ten members organized a theatre play and put through a programme – ''An Evening with Young Actors'' – which included Edna St. Vincent Millay’s ''Aria da Capo'', scenes from ''Twelfth Night'' and ''Macbeth'', ''The Valiant'' and a dramatized reading of Hamlet, Eliot, ''The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock''. Raj Bisaria produced and directed all the plays, and decided to register a theatre group with a managing body and using local talent. A bilingual group theatre (English and Hindi), the central concern the development of a genuine interest in theatre-craft and creating within its scope, a theatre-consciousness, an ability to appreciate the drama of ideas and technique. Bisaria financed the project, selected members for the committee, picked out a group of four English actors and helpers, and established what has since then been called Theatre Arts Workshop. Thus in 1966, ''Theatre Arts Workshop'' (TAW) was founded by Raj Bisaria, as a president and artistic director, with the aim of creating interest in dramatic arts among the young, and help them to develop an insight into acting, direction and allied arts. The name ‘Theatre Arts Workshop’ is for theatre and allied performing arts; its members are to be exposed to workshop methods of representation. TAW was to be a training organization and then a performing group, with its motto ''‘training before performance’''. Its philosophy is ''"your right is to work only, but never the fruit thereof. Let not the fruit of action be your object, nor let your attachment be to inaction."'' – Sri Krishna to sorrowing Arjuna (The Bhagvadgita, chapter II - 47) A token grant has been given by the Government of India – sufficient to meet the expenditure for one production. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theatre Arts Workshop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
