Jul 6: World Tibet Day
'Dear friend, Once again World Tibet Day is approaching. As you are aware, July 6, the birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama is observed as World Tibet Day by Tibetans and their supporters worldwide.
Founded in 1998 by Richard Rosenkranz, a Pulitzer Prize nominee in history, World Tibet Day was created with three main goals: first to create an annual worldwide event to help restore essential freedoms for those living in Chinese-occupied Tibet; second to increase awareness of the genocidal threats to the Tibetan people; and third, to celebrate the unique beauty and value of Tibetan culture and thought. World Tibet Day has grown into one of the most important events on the Tibetan calendar. The event is held on July 6 . birthday of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama. 2008 is particularly important to all of us. Like never before, the Tibetans have started their revolt against the brutal Chinese regime, whose repressive actions resulted in the deaths of more than 200 Tibetans this year, and even more significantly, which have resulted in the deaths of over one 1.2 million Tibetans since the Chinese invasion began in 1950. The Chinese government continues to suppress those who dare to express their opinions. We believe that World Tibet Day is an opportunity for those who live in free countries to show their solidarity with the six million Tibetans living under military rule. We are asking you and/or your organisation to join us in observing July 6 (Sunday) as World Tibet Day in your locality/country. Please send us a small note at: info@worldtibetday. org on what you plan to do on this day. Please go to our website (www.worldtibetday. org) for helpful ideas on staging the event, and for a Message on WTD from HH the Dalai Lama. Thank you. Team World Tibet Day - - - - - - - - - - World Tibet Day contacts: * Karma Yeshi Email: karmayeshi65@ yahoo.com (Co-Director) * Virginia Balseiro Email: vikkibalseirososa@ yahoo.com (Co-Director) * Richard Rosenkranz Email: RichardR888@ aol.com (Founder & Former Executive Director) * Sethu Das Email: sethu.das@friendsof tibet.org (Executive Director) To know more about the event or to get involved, email: info@worldtibetday. org or visit: www.worldtibetday. org "World Tibet Day has opened many hearts to fundamental rights of the Tibetan people to preserve our culture and to practice our religion freely. The event had greatly raised public awareness to the present threat to the very existence of the Tibetan people." His Holiness the Dalai Lama ' 0 comments

Jul 10-11: Wedding Album- Girish Karnad's latest play, directed by lillete Dubey
"Purvankara Presents
“Wedding Album” Organised by and in support of India Foundation for the Arts Bangalore – July 10th & 11th, 2008 Time: 7.30, Duration : 90 min Venue: Chowdiah Memorial Hall 'WEDDING ALBUM' is Girish Karnad's latest play. It is a wonderful, comic drama in English, that is modern, relevant and revelatory about the India that we live in today. The play is a first of sorts, even for him, for it is his first full length contemporary play. The play will be produced and directed by Lilette Dubey and will have a top notch cast from the Mumbai stage including old regulars like Joy Sengupta, Suchitra Pillai, Zafar Karachiwala, Jayati Bhatia, Deepika Deshpande, Ira Dubey and others, and the best possible technical crew. Synopsis Traditionally the girl used to marry a boy from the neighbouring village. In the globalized village, the ‘neighbourhood’ can be any corner of the earth. In the past, the bridal couple often saw each other for the first time on the wedding podium. Today a million emails, SMS’s, phonecalls, tapes and scanned images introduce them to each other. Yet one element of the plot remains unchanged: the couple agrees to enter an unknown, uncharted territory--- each other. The play, Wedding Album, deals with a normal urban middle- class family: a daughter who lives abroad with her professional husband, a brother who is a software designer, a younger daughter happy enough to marry a suitable boy from the US she has never met, and then, of course, there is the doting mother and the loyal cook. A family, which is educated, liberal, modern. Yet each snapshot shows its members frozen in a technological, globalized projection of respectability but each figure has a double image, with a penumbra of a hidden life. It’s a hilarious spectacle. And hopefully, moving !!! Donor passes for Rs 500/- and Rs 300/- are available at the following coffee Day outlets. 100 ft Road -64528290 BPCL Koramangala-64541184 Brigade Road-64541160 CMH Road- 64541168 Crossword-64541162 Cunhingham Road-64528284 Forum-64529985 Frazer Town-64512291 Jayanagar 4th Block-64541179 Lavelle Road-64511535 Malleshwaram-64511532 Sadshivnagar-64511537 And online @ www.indiaplaza.com For limited donor passes for Rs 2000/- and Rs 1000/- Please call Joyce @ IFA 23414681/82/83 or 9741010812 or mail to joyce@indiaifa.org All Friends of IFA get a 10% discount on the tickets.

Ranga Shankara Jun 2008 Schedule Hi,
0 comments
Apart from the fantastic line-up of plays, we are bringing back our "Other Voices" program in June. On May 31 (Sat) and Jun 1 (Sun), Claire Denieul, a theatre practitioner from France stages August Strindberg's "The Stronger" at 9:30 PM. Be tuned to announcements of a few more "Other Voices" shows in June. Just to recap, the "Other Voices" program introduced in Ranga Shankara's Fest '07 brings theatre into an intimate performing space and an audience of not more than 25. Revathi Menon and Rehaan Engineer performed during Fest '07 that gave the "Other Voices" program a solid start. Tickets for the "Other Voices" shows are available 30 minutes before the show at Ranga Shankara and the duration of the show is less than 30 minutes. Praise for "The Stronger" Strindberg creates an episode of incredible, poetic power – a snapshot of life so intense, so powerful, that it rivals Beckett at his best. Like a Kafka short story, "The Stronger" is rich in allegory and lends itself to many layers of interpretation. One can easily spend hours thinking about it after the show ends. It is moreover, a powerful play, one that makes a deep impression, and leaves one with the illusion that one has travelled far and seen much, even though the entire thing is actually incredibly short. See you at RS then!-- Theatre Alive!
