Innovation through necessity

So the stage was set. 20 minutes. 7 people. All untrained actors. To perform on an unscripted street play which we were creating as well as performing.

So the going was tough. One could not speak Hindi. One could barely speak confidently. One could not act in middle tone. Worse that person was missing for 15 minutes out of the 20. One could not remember the lines. And thus everyone had a flaw.

But bad times bring in innovation. So the non  Hindi speaking person became a mute,  a very vital element of the story. The one who could not speak confidently barely scrapped through the lines. The non middle tone guy was given a high tone role.

But most important the one who forgot all his lines just reacted spontaneously on stage to situation and did not actually say any lines.

Final result. A successful content  and appreciation.

Thus today once again innovation was done during necessity.
