Swami Vivekananda

Vedanta Ten-Minute Play Festival in Sydney 6th to 8th June 2014

Exploring the life, the teachings, and impact of Swami Vivekananda’s life on modern society.

Festival Director: Alex Broun conducted scriptwriting and directing workshops in Vedanta Hall over 2 weekends in March. Auditions were held and we now have the creative energy of over 70 people working on the Festival including Vee Malnar and Tom Richards, writer and director respectively of the winning entry for this years’ Short+Sweet festival. Four actors from ONENESS (the highly successful play on Swami Vivekananda staged at the Sydney Opera House last year): Robert Rhode, John Goodway, Carlos Sivalingam and Jerry Retford, have joined the Festival.

Ten-Minute Play Theatre is a much-loved medium for actors. With its minimal props and compact storylines, there is more focus on the actors and the characters they portray; a very creative and challenging experience for the actors and an intimate experience for the audience.

Festival Coordinators: Robert Grant and Eleni Panayi

The Plays

A journey of self-discovery through more than 20 Ten-Minute plays set in the suburbs of contemporary Australia and 18th Century India. Contributors include award winning writers, directors and actors.

Plays on a diverse group of historical and fictional characters linked by a theme— humanity’s search for meaning and peace.

Tales of the inspired and the troubled, the pious and the mysterious, the mystical and the humorous, the young and the old— Over ten stories in each show of the Festival.

Swami Vivekananda

The 19th century Indian reformer, leader, and mystic who introduced yoga, meditation and interfaith understanding to the West following his famed speeches at the first World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893.

His teachings have inspired major historical and cultural figures as diverse as Mahatma Gandhi, the Dalai Lama and The Beatles’ George Harrison.
