We also provide them with grooming, styling and character building.

Core classes in the craft of screen acting and its technical requirements, such as: 

• Finding a mark

• Understanding continuity

• Cheating camera looks

• Using props to enhance a scene naturally.

 

Students slowly befriend the camera releasing their tensions and inhibitions when performing to an inanimate lens. They are also continuously recorded on camera and critiqued so that they learn how to look at their performance objectively.

​

The actor’s body is an intrinsic part of any character portrayal and thus needs to be fit, flexible. Every gesture tells a story, and each movement must be within the actor’s control. Our work on movement includes:

• Teaching them about GYM, Supplementations, giving them proper diet plans if needed

• Body conditioning through yoga

• Dance - Here students learn several dance types, especially Bollywood Dance

• Movement for scene work i.e. physical actions, use of objects and understanding of space to create dynamic scenes

 

Along with this, we also work on HINDI Language, speech, to improve clarity and diction, ensuring that every student learns a clean and neutral Hindi accent devoid of any regional influence.

​

We believe that the primary aim of the actor is to be truthful and believable in the performance of any character that he/she might be asked to play, in any genre and in any medium. To this end, our training is geared towards providing you with a skill set that is tailor-made for each individual actor, helping you work through your weaknesses and polish your strengths. 

​

Methodology

There are seven aspects to the course:​

• Practical classes: Actors learn by doing. So hands-on practical learning supports all theory and forms the bulk of your training. Be it dance, yoga, scene work, acting exercises or improvisations.

• Film viewing and script-analysis: Students will regularly analyze and deconstruct screenplays of existing films, in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the actor’s process.

 

Acting is only a tool for an individual to express their world-view, their sensibilities via their own sensitivity

 

Discover your imagination, tap into your emotions and recognize habitual patterns that impede your flexibility and expression. We also introduce you to the principles of characterization and scene analysis so that the lessons learned in your core classes are already being put into practice not just in class, but also in your future films

​

we will refine your strengths further by teaching you the principles of performing in different genres - Comedy, Drama, Biopics, Crime, Action, etc. All classroom exercises, text analysis classes will be genre-driven. 

focusing your training on specialized performance mediums, namely television, advertising, anchoring & compering, we will prepare you for the commercial aspects of the profession as well as to guide you on portfolios, showreels and auditions.
