Thinking Drama | Ft: Abhishek Majumdar | The Artists with Suchita

A powerful new episode of The Artists Podcast is live. This time, we’re joined by Abhishek Majumdar—playwright, theatre director, Professor at NYU, and one of the most incisive thinkers on drama, time, and performance today. This is not just a conversation—it’s a deep inquiry into the structure of drama itself. From Aristotle and Shakespeare to Picasso, metaphors of place, silence, and audience responsibility, this episode challenges how we think, write, and create. 🔍 What does drama even mean today? 🧠 Why does structure matter more than style? 🎭 How do audience and society shape each other? 📚 Why is wide reading essential for originality? 🤔 And why does Shakespeare still dominate our imagination—did he even exist? If you’re an artist, writer, filmmaker, theatre-maker—or simply obsessed with how stories work—this episode is for you. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 02:27 Thinking multidimensionally 03:12 Defining drama: compressing time 05:07 Contemporary drama & the play of time 06:23 Thinking drama today 07:00 Why the present is not the artist’s forte (clip) 08:42 Why short-term thinking limits artists 09:26 How are you thinking? 13:06 The process of writing 14:32 Picasso copying Van Gogh 16:29 Sense of wonder in craft (clip) 18:00 The nine kinds of silence 20:22 Audience vs society 21:57 Audience & responsibility (clip) 24:38 Understanding the metaphors of a place (clip) 35:35 Shakespeare — did he exist? #TheArtistsPodcast #Drama #Theatre #Playwriting #StoryStructure #DramaTheory #ContemporaryDrama #Shakespeare #Aristotle #WritingProcess #AudienceAndSociety #CreativeThinking #Artists #Storytelling #ArtAndCulture #TheatrePodcast #FilmAndTheatre #IndianTheatre #PodcastEpisode
