When I first went for the interview and enrolled for the workshop, little did I know that this seemingly innocuous event is going to impact my life. But the way it made an impact and all that I experienced over the last seven weeks, has left me amazed and spellbound.

What I love about Ratan’s way of teaching is that it makes one think. When I was a child I was told that for an actor his body and voice are his instruments. Misf!t taught me how to add the soul to it.
During one of the first few classes, I remember Ratan saying “Acting is all about Honesty.” This had me baffled and terribly confused at first, but it gradually became clearer. Eventually this one line led to a cathartic change in my life.
The concepts learnt in class spurred me to explore the inner depths of my consciousness. Acting opened parts of my inner being, disclosing senses, emotions, thoughts and feelings I never knew existed. As each week passed, I felt as though more and more boxes were being opened, creating a fuller, peaceful and more rounded me. It was almost like this key was flowing through me, unlocking the real me.

Misf!t has been a therapeutic and spiritual journey so far. It has made me connect with my inner self and helped me realize that theatre is simply ‘My Way’.
