At The Yuva Ekta Foundation, our effort during this lockdown has been to reimagine the way we express, interact and engage with each other. We find that now more than ever, the Arts are becoming integral to re-establish this sense of human connection. Arts offer new ways of listening to our voices and our stories, and finding meaning to our lived experiences. It offers a chance to be reflective and introspective, often providing a calming and relaxing space for us to be present with our thoughts. In response to the Covid-19 crisis, The Foundation has started several initiatives to keep the Arts alive in the online world. One of the most seamless entries in this regard has been of Playback Theatre - a form of improvisational theatre in which audience or group members tell stories from their lives and watch them enacted on the spot. On August 28th, we got a opportunity to perform for the amazing team of Denave - a corporate organisation that is based in Greater Noida, India. The theme for the performance was  'Towards a New Horizon', where through real life stories of our audience members, we explored the struggles, challenges, experiences and learnings of this 'New Normal', work life balance, team communication and emotional well being. Our intent through this performance was to explore what will be the new "normal?" What are our hopes and expectations? How will we deal with the opportunities that will come our way? It turned out to be a very moving session for all of us, as many audience members shared stories of their struggles during the lockdown, their motivations, aspirations and expectations from the new world order. This was also an opportunity to for the team members to connect with each other over the collective sense of pain and helplessness during these times, and also share personal stories of joy and resilience. Spaces like these remind us of the power of Arts in connecting people, and finding collective strength in each other's truths and shared experiences.
