The world as we know it has shifted online. On any given day at any time, live feeds abound all our social media. There are conversations, performances and interactions. Effectively, our entire social experience has changed medium. What then happens to one that relies on live audiences and physical spaces? Theatrewallahs in the city have found multiple ways to stay relevant and make an appearance on the web in these times.

Last month, city-based group D for Drama hosted multiple sessions with actors and playwrights talking about their process, the craft and even sharing reading lists. Some, like actor Gitanjali Kulkarni chose to perform a moving piece from her play Gajab Kahani. Close on its heels came Theatre Live with an impressive repertoire of guest speakers who switched between lectures and performances.
