As diehard beliefs hilariously collide with age-old habits, they enter into a war zone where neither of them will pay for the daily expenses of the house. As a result, they hit upon the idea of bringing a tenant into the house. One outside force enters their lives like a whirlwind blowing away cobwebs of manipulative habits, patterns, beliefs, and ideologies, nurtured over a lifetime; bringing out their vulnerabilities and forcing them to be honest with each other. Gupp Chup Gapp renders an endearing and entertaining canvas for burning issues of gender equality, sexual abuse, the need for self-reliance and an empathetic attitude towards other human beings. The play is a juxtaposition of the serious and the mundane; the marvellous and the absurd performed and supported by the IAS Officers’ Wives. https://smitabharti.net/plays/453555 monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/972f16b9-a8b6-4118-9080-e9a92576a33b/45+Poster.jpg Work - 45'35'55' (2006) - Format: Forum Theatre Performance | Cause: Sexual Assault | Year: 2006 ‘Sometimes it takes as long as fifty years for a rape survivor to speak up, says a gender activist.’ In 45”35”55”, it takes 25 years. Two ageing sisters steeped in their routines, who come into the property and decide to live together, under one roof after 25 years are in for a life-changing revelation. As diehard beliefs collide with age-old habits, they enter what is called a war zone — yet survival instinct drives them together and they finally agree to bring in a tenant, a young career woman, who enters their lives like a whirlwind, blowing away cobwebs of manipulative habits, patterns, beliefs, ideologies, nurtured over a lifetime; bringing out their vulnerabilities, forcing them to be honest and open. The endearing and funny tale that hilariously skims the surface of everyday interactions dives into the depths of heart-wrenching events, covered, and denied for 25 years. 25 years of concealing the trauma and violence of gang rape. https://smitabharti.net/plays/ggmp monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/59ea9685-c3a2-4d00-bc1b-5dbda0f4c880/GGMP.png Work - Ghat Ghat Mein Panchi Bolta Hai (2021) - Format: Forum Theatre (Online) | Cause: Child Sexual Abuse | Project: The Rakshin Project | Year: 2021 As seekers, we live life searching for our truth. Very often in families, unspoken, unexpressed assumptions become the foundation of these truths. Truths that are never expressed; but which inform all our actions and reactions, until we drift away into cages of our own making; each one of us wrapped in our denials, silences, shame and fear of stigma. Set within one triggering event, Ghat Ghat mein Panchi Bolta Hai is a collection of letters between two families, three generations and nine characters, coming apart at their seams and spiralling to the desperation of questions, wanting to discover their truth. Exploring, examining, reflecting, musing; each one sitting on the high seat of judgement, searching for the right side of wrong. https://smitabharti.net/plays/amavas-se-amaltas monthly 0.5 2022-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/115dbc26-bce5-4ff6-bab5-ccd2c6a1e82b/A2Aposterart1.png Work - Amavas Se Amaltas (2017) - Format: Forum Theatre Performance | Cause: Children in Difficult Circumstances | Year: 2016-2018 Voluntarily retired after her diagnosis of Cervical cancer, Shikha, a former judge in the juvenile justice system lives with her daughter Sonali, a successful corporate lawyer and her slightly autistic son Jai who she had rescued from the juvenile criminal system and legally adopted.

Helping her mother remember and daughter forget, the endless, stormy cycle sees a ray of sunshine in the land of make-believe, beyond the grasp of memories. Closely related is a test case which is a culmination of Sakshi’s experience in dealing with the complex issue of child sexual abuse. https://smitabharti.net/plays/jjj monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/516f38a3-8629-49f5-9c25-6b25b27b8a82/JJJPoster2.png Work - Jug Jug Jiyo (2012) - Format: Forum Theatre Performance | Cause: Sex-Selective Elimination & GBV | Year: 2012-2018 Jug Jug Jiyo is the story of the lives of two childhood friends, widows for all appearances, living and sharing a small house in a small town. Samyukta and Simran. Samyukta runs a morgue, and Simran runs her son’s life. Samyukta’s daughter Sia and Simran’s son Siraj, childhood sweethearts, in a live-in relationship unknown to their mothers, are visiting their mothers from Mumbai on the night the play opens. As the night unfolds, one small confrontation between Sia and Siraj starts unravelling the lives of the two women across the last four decades, and soon only the shards of broken relationships litter the stage. When it seems as if there is no resolution to this devastation, love, and hope raise their tiny heads tentatively, and invite trust back into the fold. Jug Jug Jiyo, is a story that unfolds over one night and unravels dark secrets hidden for over three decades. Jug Jug Jiyo is a story that shapes the future for all unborn girls; a story about decisions taken by these two women in the past, and in the present. https://smitabharti.net/plays/single-mingle monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/9eefd19d-1373-4b8b-8d83-664bae63dd61/SingleMinglePoster.jpg Work - Single Mingle (2015) - Format: Forum Theatre Performance | Cause Sexual Rights | Year: 2015 - 2016 Bikers and hikers, there are three friends, one single, one engaged and the other besotted. While out for one last hurrah in the mountains before the two of them return to get married, they discover life and love are not as simple as they would like to believe. Unexpected twists bring them to a face-off where they have to make a choice, life with sex, or life without sex. A light-hearted comedy that deals with the deeper issues of the LGBTQIA+ community as citizens entitled to the constitutional right to equality, dignity and privacy. https://smitabharti.net/plays/walk-once-more monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/cddfd7b6-cf52-4191-94a1-d0059241f7ef/WOM+Poster.jpg Work - Walk Once More (2009) - Format: Forum Theatre Performance | Cause: Differently Abled | Year: 2009 A promising dancer’s aspirations are cut short one fateful morning, as a bus jumps the kerb and hits her car!

It is a story of a woman who has endured marital rape and witnessed sexual abuse within her marriage. Conflicting realities move from denial and confusion to admission, acceptance, and finally freedom, as the mother and daughter rewrite their experience of a sexually violent history. Anupa, the mother, has arrived near the end of her 14-year jail sentence for killing her abusive husband. In all this time Amrita, the daughter, has never paid her a visit. An accidental discovery finally propels Amrita towards meeting her mother in jail. For mother and daughter, the challenge of meanings involves reconciling history with versions of what, for each, is a life-changing truth. https://smitabharti.net/projects daily 0.75 2022-04-26 https://smitabharti.net/projects/leadership-camp monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/02de840d-5773-455a-bba3-d95a5d2410f4/DSC08065.JPG Gender Projects - Creative & Transformational Leadership (2007) - Format: Residential Workshops | Cause: Equality, Diversity & Inclusion | Year: 2005 - Present What arose partially out of the ‘Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI)’ granted to Sakshi in 2005-2006 evolved into a Creative Leadership Program.

After 1.5 Years of intensive workshops, 9 survivors of gender-based violence performed their own stories on stage. Reliving the disturbing past was not easy. But as one of the survivors who performed her story puts it, “I will continue to revisit my memories of fear. But with the conviction that I will be able to lessen the sting of my memories, and that these demons can no longer touch me.'' https://smitabharti.net/projects/the-rakshin-project monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/574999cc-69cd-4f3c-9739-3c9430feff83/TRPPoster.png Gender Projects - The Rakshin Project (2020) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://smitabharti.net/projects/fikar-not monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/7ae5846f-75fd-49ba-9634-05c236d7ed51/Launch+Post+2.png Gender Projects - Fikar Not (2022) - Format: Mini Web-Series + Digital Campaign | Cause: Mental Wellbeing | Client: Girl Effect - Chhaa Jaa | Producer: SBOX | Y ear: 2022 Using fictionalised story-telling and a safe space, this mini web-series acknowledges the unique challenges and anxieties that girls are facing when it comes to their futures and their dreams.

In the words of Justice Verma, “Everyday women are subjected to ogling eyes of strangers and comments. Nipping the problem in the bud is the best way to solve the problem.” The youth and the Acid Survivors were trained to create theatre based body installations in the public domain in order to mainstream the conversation. https://smitabharti.net/projects/taare monthly 0.5 2026-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/79ace773-21de-4e82-b9ae-1c46d697768b/Screenshot+2022-04-07+at+5.12.27+PM.png Gender Projects - Jab Taare Utare Zameen Par (2016) - Format: Social Art Intervention | Cause: Children in Difficult Circumstances | Client: PLAN India | Implementation: Sakshi | Year: 2016 In partnership with PLAN India and its partner organisations, we designed and led a unique 5 day of Social Arts for Behaviour Change intervention focusing on value-based leadership and emotional competencies for 500 connected children.

An outcome of the collective expertise of thought leaders with diverse domain strengths pooled towards a common agenda on how school children can become influencers to encourage ‘responsible road behaviour’ for self, others, and society. Focusing on awareness and education, the program used original tools, methods, and experts to engage with students. An innovation initiative was the Champions for Change project which was launched. The Champions for Change used project-based learning methods for students to apply their road safety education to their real-life and make a difference to the road safety scenario around their school. https://smitabharti.net/projects/beyond-silences monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/da7089e6-5aa9-44dc-a7e0-63b3d777a27c/beyond-silence.jpg Gender Projects - Beyond Silences: Docu-Theatre In Jail & Outside (2004) - Format: Publication | Cause: Human Rights | Publisher: WISCOMP | Year: 2004 In 2004, Smita Bharti led a project in Tihar Jail in Delhi as part of a project with WISCOMP. ‘Beyond Silences: Docu-Theatre in Jail & Outside’ entailed a series of theatre workshops in jail and outside, designed to explore human rights issues on both sides of the wall. Using skilful creative methods, participants were encouraged to become co-explorers, question internalized norms, engage in a process of self-expression, and make critical choices. A unique co-production between jail inmates and college students was mounted in the jail in December 2004. The project also gave way to a theatrical play ‘Jailbirds’ which explored the journey of a woman near the end of her 14-year jail term for killing her abusive husband. https://smitabharti.net/projects/lakhnu monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624be7a00238f7363ceed96c/c8e83b8e-be5b-46ea-b98c-9f24c2798299/DSC_0020.JPG Gender Projects - Lakhnu Village (2017) - Format: Social Art Intervention | Cause: WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) | Client: Curtin University | Year: 2017 Through a Social Arts for Behaviour Change project at Lakhnu Village, Uttar Pradesh, we produced a theatrical event that would reinforce aspects of sanitation and health behaviour to children and villagers.

In a very short time, we moulded students without theatre training into a group that was very effective in conveying WASH behaviours to villagers. https://smitabharti.net/leadership-projects daily
