This skit was full challenges.
First of all, there was very little time to prepare…
And there were very few people to work with.
The condition of the person working on the story was even worse. This is because there were many changes in the songs selected for the script. Songs have to be selected before finalizing the script. This is because performers needs some time to practice for the dance. Most of us were not great dancer, because of which we had to change some songs to match our capabilities. It put added pressure on Ismile bhai and Jahangir they end up having no time to practice… But we took this risk knowing their last performance.
The condition of the performers was also not great. Some of us have delivery deadlines to meet. So after the practice session these people stay late to complete their primary responsibilities. Others who were relatively free took up the challenge to coordinate and train people.
This skit was hugely depended on Audio. We had to collect so many songs and edit them to suits our requirement. If the music system would mot have worked, as happened in the last party, we could not have done even a single scene.
The basic theme of the skit was to present the different stages of life with the help of MUSIC & DANCE. A single step missed by performer (dancer) could have easily turned down the whole skit. We had a challenge to dance so that people can enjoy, act so as to make people laugh, and achieving both without being stupid.
Of the other challenge, the one was to meet the high expectation after the superb performance by Ismile bhai in he last party. To meet that expectation we took the bollywood way. But this made our task little more difficult. Because now we require 10+ people to perform… with absolutely no time and no resource to work with, this looked like an impossible task. That was the time when some new face in GE showed great interest in performing with us. We also got good support from the Anchors for the event.
I don’t know how well did we perform, but I know one thing I enjoyed a lot to be part of the skit. And I can say he same for all those were part of this skit…
