Preethi Athreya's ‘Rubber Girl' is a tribute to the cabaret
Movement is any dance's motor. But when it comes to cabaret, a theatrical form that also features music, song, recitation or drama, a dash of oomph is also a requisite. This weekend at the Black Box, a unique black-chair multi-functional space that seats around 165, G5A presents plenty of all that makes cabaret memorable in Rubber Girl by Preethi Athreya. G5A produces and co-creates interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work often seen as experimental, and Preethi has been part of its In Residence programme, a production series that creates space for practitioners to explore their craft and expression and refine their practice. The work, which is grounded in traditional and contemporary performance methods, is then hosted over a period. Preethi is a contemporary dancer based in Chennai who also trained in Bharatanatyam. After a post-graduate degree in Dance Studies from the Laban Dance Centre, London, she uses dance as an agent of change, constantly trying to free it from the strictures of more traditional dance practices. It is this blue-print that Preethi employs in Rubber Girl, a 57-minute performance where she looks at cabaret through different angles. 'Rubber Girl was the name given to Cuckoo Moray, an Anglo-Indian actress and cabaret dancer, who peppered many Hindi films of the 1940s and 1950s with her graceful moves,' says Pravin Kannanur, a Chennai-based multidisciplinary artiste overseeing the dramaturgy and technical direction of the performance. 'But Cuckoo Moray is not the subject itself. The pretext is the idea of the cabaret. Preethi will explore this idea, what it was in pre-war Europe, Edith Piaf's torch ballads (laments on unrequited love) and how the German playwright Bertolt Brecht drew from the cabaret, among others. Cabaret allowed for a certain challenging of the status quo, the governing aesthetic of the time. It also challenged the political. The work also references the cabaret sequences in Indian films. Cuckoo's moniker of the 'rubber girl' looks at erasure on the one hand, and the polyvalence of this person on the other,' says Pravin. Rubber Girl has the structure of a travelogue, but it is not a history lesson or a linear production. 'It juxtaposes the dance bars that were taken to court in India and how the cabaret has morphed into the discotheque space and other legitimate spaces. The idea is introduced through well-known songs such as 'Mera naam chin chin chu',' adds Pravin. In the performance, Preethi as a contemporary dancer-choreographer references identity and rebellion and how folk forms were incorporated and hyper-sexualised when they were translated for screen. Music for the performance is by Chennai-based composer and bass guitarist Paul Jacob who has spent a lifetime empowering folk artistes. 'He has reconstructed certain iconic songs,' says Pravin. 'The tone of Rubber Girl is quite enjoyable. The choice of costumes by Preethi ranges from a sequined red dress, to a plastic sheet. Lighting design is by Gurleen Judge.' Rubber Girl came out of research undertaken at the Centre National de la Danse, Pantin and Cite des Artes, Paris in 2022 and was developed with assistance from the Alliance Francaise of Madras. 'A new production, it also references the Supreme Court judgment on dance bars in India and characters from film and culture. It's a fun piece, especially for women,' says Pravin. Tickets are priced at ₹750 for performances at 5pm and 7.30pm at G5A Warehouse G-5/A, Laxmi Mills Estate, Shakti Mills Lane, Mahalaxmi West, Worli, Mumbai on May 31 and June 1. Look up for details

Former Anglo-Indian MLA Derrick Fullinfaw passes away
Former Anglo-Indian MLA and prominent leader of the Anglo-Indian community, Derrick M. B. Fullinfaw, passed away in Bengaluru on Wednesday. He was 67. He is survived by wife Asha, son Gavin, and daughter Simona. Mr. Fullinfaw, who was suffering from liver-related ailment, breathed his last at a private hospital. He was buried at the cemetery near Hosur Road here on Thursday. Mr. Fullinfaw had been nominated as MLA from the Anglo-Indian quota in the 9th and 13th Karnataka Legislative Assembly. He served as chairman of the All-India Progressive Anglo-Indian Association and president of the State BJP Minority Morcha in Karnataka. He is remembered for his in-depth understanding of the problems of the Anglo-Indian community in Karnataka and for his struggle to get them educational and employment opportunities. Though he had begun his political career with the Congress, he later shifted to the BJP that nominated him to the 13th Assembly. However, he had distanced himself from politics in the last few years. Mr. Fullinfaw, who began his career as a teacher at Baldwin Boys' School in Bengaluru, had gone back to teaching after completing his first term as MLA. He had then been appointed principal of Baldwin Polytechnic.
