How to create liberating spaces for women in theatre
Live MintEarlier this month, award-winning playwright, director and actor Irawati Karnik took charge as the academic head of Drama School Mumbai—its executive head also happens to be a woman, Ekta Doshi. The Mumbai-based practitioner sees her appointment as an opportunity to attempt systemic change and hopes to create better and safer working conditions for women in theatre. Karnik, whose work in English, Hindi and Marathi has won several awards, including the Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar and the Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards, has been associated with Drama School Mumbai, the brainchild of theatre practitioner Jehan Manekshaw, for some years. “Jehan asked me a few years ago but back then I was solely focused on my practice,” says Karnik.
