'Thought provoking' is how this group of students like to describe their act. The Indira School of Communications Cultural Group is a group of students sharing a common affinity for theatre.

Formed eight months ago, the group consisting of nine core members is into theatre performances but also proved that their mettle when it comes to spoofs, one act plays and solo acting performances.

Akshay Mishra (21) heads the Cultural Group that has participated in several competitions and proved their worth. They won the second prize for their one act play, Chatriya at the National Theatre Fest organised by Symbiosis College in December. They also won the first prize at the recent ISBM College event name Crescendo.

Acting on bold subjects such as old age, casteism and female foeticide makes you get up and pay attention to the group. "We like to tackle difficult topics in order to provoke people and get them to think. Till date, the response we have received is stirring. It shows that theatre is still alive, contrary to what people may think," Akshay adds.

The group is open to new members though an audition will be required. The other members who constitute the group are Anupama Shakya (21), Ankita Goswami (20), Dev Bhatt (20), Bhumit Gujjar (21), Gaurav Sharma (21), Sanidhya Jain (20), Mayank Shekhar (21) and Shirin Anand Dubey (20).

For now, the group is working hard at their new play titled Doosri Zindagi, a Hindi adaptation of a Russian play.
