Saibal Ray Centre for Sound Design Audio Art or sound art is a new genre of contemporary art that uses various technological sounds, natural ambience and sounds of our day to day life to create a piece of art. This is an interdisciplinary art form that includes and resorts to many genres of traditional art forms and subjects, like music, acoustic ecology, acousmatic sound (acousmatic sound is a sound that one hears without seeing the originating cause), psychoacoustics as well as painting. The painting, which is inspired by the sound, is also being called sound art nowadays. For example, ‘Frozen’ (5 Days Off MEDIA: Frozen, Wed 2 through Sat 26 July 2008, Melkweg Mediaroom & Paradiso, Amsterdam) was an exhibition that held in Amsterdam in July of 2008 to present sound as a space. [1] As this exhibition was described, “In the Mediaroom at the Melkweg multi-channel sound pieces can be experienced over an advanced speaker setup, accompanied by sound in a "frozen"...

Ashok Kumar:  Professor Centre for Creative Advertising & Screenwriting Skills Ask anyone who knows the language- especially Hindi - and you will hear him complaining that the TV is butchering it. The norm for hiring TV anchors/presenters is how much ‘base’ have they got in their voice and how do they ‘look’. In some cases, there may also be reasons for personal preferences which is human and sometimes normal but worse! The professional world is being infected by the unprofessionalism un-mindful of the fact that even the smallest decision of media affects people, society, culture and opinions. Anyone who wishes to work as an English copywriter or a corporate communicator in India has to necessarily possess a masters degree in the English language. But when it comes to hiring a copywriter or a journalist or a screenwriter in the Hindi language it is enough to say that “I know Hindi because I am from UP, Bihar”. Of course, the language spoken/understood in majo...

Sunayan Bhattacharjee:  Assistant Professor Centre for Print & Cyber Journalism Skills What exactly is journalism? There are multiple definitions. While the Cambridge Dictionary defines it as “the work of collecting, writing, and publishing news stories and articles in newspapers and magazines or broadcasting them on the radio and television”, the Oxford Dictionary goes a step further by explicating the term as “The activity or profession of writing for newspapers, magazines, or news websites or preparing news to be broadcast”. Did you spot the difference? The difference is in technology. While the Cambridge Dictionary conveniently ignores (forgets to be euphemistic) news on the internet, Oxford dictionary catches the pulse of the moment by mentioning “news websites”. While people might scoff at this discreet categorization citing the politics of words, the fact remains that it has immense journalistic weight. Why and how? Well, may be, you need to wait a little longe...

Neha Hooda:  Assistant Professor Centre for Post Production Skills “With great power there must also come great responsibility”    Films are power and Disney – Marvel seems to live up to the responsibility well. Let us talk about how some of the films and characters we  have loved so much and those  that  have evolved over the years. Peter Parker from Spiderman: Homecoming strikes a chord in this regard. Stan Lee wrote the character of Spiderman somewhere in early 60’s and the first Spiderman comic came out in 1962.The original character was a super hero who had self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness; something the young high school going everyday kid could identify with. The Spiderman of today is a changed person. Not merely a character, but a more real person; as the audience comes very close to the journey of this digital native who still has Aunt May to look after him, a girl he crushes on but finds difficult to...

Dr. Kaushik Dutta Sharma :  Associate Professor Centre for Theatre & Acting Skills Before Acting out a character the actor needs to become an actor. The training process converts the daily body into the extra - daily, a finely tuned instrument that rivets us with its ‘presence’. Before the play, comes the rehearsal, and before rehearsing for the play comes the training of the actor. As for any singer or dancer, before the performance comes the rigour of training. Of course there are exceptions, the ‘gifted’, the ones that excelled in acting, learning it on the go as it were, being in the trade. An actor’s work does not start with the analysis of the character or play, it begins before. It starts by acting on his body and voice. The process is like training in Martial Arts. In Kerala, the children’s bodies are prepared for Kathakali, a dance form and Kalaripayattu, a martial art form in the same way. The flexibility, the dexterity and the surprise moves are exer...
