Suman Mukherjee
Description:
When Silence is louder than Word, we must remember Suman Mukherjee- the Young Indian Mime Legend. An eight years old child suddenly fascinated with Mime Art and started silent acting in the school before his friends. His parents also took care of their kid's talent. Later, he started Miming with his Daddy's theatre. That little boy won the hearts of many people through his country.At the age of 12 he went to learn Mime in Jogesh Mime Academy in Kolkata under Sri Jogesh Dutta. He completed 5 years Diploma Course from there. But he was not satisfied with the conventional, old and monotonous style and technique of Mime there. He thought there are so many things to do in this physical art form. He started modification and gave it a different colour and shape.
Suman learnt Ballet, Ballroom and Latin American Dance form from veteran dance exponent Mr. Bob das who was a renowned choreographer in Tollygunge Film Industry and professional theatre in Kolkata. Later Suman introduced Western Balletic form in his Mime. His first experimental production - BALLET MEETS MIME was a great success through out India and its 150TH night was celebrated by E.Z.C.C. Govt. of India.
That time some particular stories and thoughts were exercised by the other Mime Artistes. Suman brought novelty in story and idea. His intention was to reach to the common people and win their hearts instead of doing paper work for 'Awards' and 'Grants' from Government organisations. He believes in 'Public Stage'. That's why, this 'black and white' art became colourful, more entertaining by the effort of Suman Mukherjee. He introduced variety in story making, costume, light and music which enriched the Mime Art as well as enjoyable to the spectators of India.
Suman Mukherjee made his repertory on 1986 with some of his devoted and talented Mime students. with repertory Suman presents his full length Mime programme from rural areas to seven star hotels throughout India and abroad.
