Acting Workshop

This workshop offered both understanding and practice in the fundamentals of theatre and the acting process. It involved work which encouraged the actor to think, to behave and to experience, in the choices she/he makes as an actor. Together with the use of improvisation, this workshop introduced the foundation of the actor’s craft and the development of a performer’s imagination. Emphasis was placed on work that challenges the mental, physical and emotional capabilities of the actor.

Nearly all participants of the Acting Workshop went on to play important roles in the drama series Guru Paarvai Season 1,2,3 and 4. Our proud graduates are also currently making an impact on local television, theatre and film!
