Tiatr Academy Goa (TAG) organized a workshop – ‘The Role of Women in Art
& Culture’- on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Regina Fernandes
– the first lady of the tiatr on 16th November 2010 at the Conference
Hall of Ravindra Bhavan Margao. Dr. Meenacshi Martins, artiste and
social activist, who guided the participants, expressed the need of
being self-confideni in order to achieve success in any field including
art & culture. Art & culture is a wide subject and tiatr is a part and
parcel of Goan culture. The popularity of tiatr among the Goan masses
proves that tiatr is deep-rooted in the hearts of Goans. Exemplifying
Regina Fernandes, the first woman to act on the tiatr stage, she said,
‘we all must have courage of conviction as Regina did almost 106 years
back’.
Dr. Martins enlightened the participants with her experiences on the
drama stage, on the silver screen and in television too. The qualities
of hard work, discipline and determination are of utmost importance to
be a good actor she said. Simplicity and humility are also important to
keep ones feet on the ground when one becomes famous and attain
celebrity status.
Answering numerous questions from the participants, four time best
actress award winner in Marathi dramas produced by Goan directors for
Maharashtra competion, Dr. Meenacshi Martins advised the participants
first to believe in themselves to achieve success on the stage or on
the screen. It is also very important for women, particularly in the
presents, to learn some defensive skills in order to make use of it in
times of need.
Besides young talents senior tiatr artistes namely Sabina, Jessie Dias,
Clara, Christa, Rico Rod, Ben Evangelisto, Prince Jacob and others
attended the workshop.
