<p>The students of Acharya Institutes recently inaugurated an art and cultural club called Aley. They did so in a unique way — by including a dollu kunitha performance in the programme. <br /><br /></p>.<p>They also staged a skit, which was based on the message of creating awareness about racism, as well as a dance that had the audience tapping their feet.<br /><br />The students behind the club worked long and hard to ensure that its debut event was a success. <br /><br />For additional effect, they created a week-long suspense tease campaign. On the designated day of the event, they began playing the drums on all four corners of the campus. <br /><br />They formed four processions and converged towards the venue for the programme, where a crowd had already gathered. Within the next half an hour, they had staged an eclectic ensemble of productions — a tiger dance, the skit, a mime, a beat-boxing show, dance and even a cracker show. The international students of the college played a prominent part in inaugurating Aley.<br /><br />The students hope that the club will encourage young talent and help students find a platform in fields like theatre, singing, dance, design, literature and art. The members of Aley say that they will be performing on a regular basis. In fact, the students seem to have grand plans — they are going to try and take the club to an international level as well. <br /><br />“We were aware that it would be a challenge to capture the interest of the audience and make them to join the club. We will try our best to take the club to the international level,” says Dilip, a final-year MCom student, who is active in theatre and is one of the coordinators of the club.<br /></p>
