News: MISF!T (My Interest Stays Firmly in Theatre) is starting its new Level 1 (Batch 23) acting course/workshop on April 16th.

Details of the course

Level 1 is the foundation course which aims to bring out the fun of acting, make participants to shed their inhibitions, teach them stagecraft, pantomime, and character building. It is also for people without any background in acting. The objective is to make them as natural as possible.

The course is unique because it focuses on bringing out the originality, the creativity, and the attention to detail in the actor, by letting the actor create their very own concepts and execute these, in the form of numerous short plays, during the course of the training.Feedback of the alumni of MISF!T are available here: http://misfit.co.in/?cat=15

The course includes:

1. Breaking inhibitions: getting people comfortable to act, in front of an audience.
2. Characterization.
3. Voice: Understanding the components, and projection of voice.
4. Observation.
5. Listening skills.
6. Pantomime.
7. Improvisation.
8. Scene creation and Character creation.
9. Script creation.
10. Fine tuning of theatre craft.

Duration of the course

First four weeks: Training (48 hours)

Frequency – Every Saturday and Sunday between 11:00am to 6:00pm with an hour’s lunch break. Based on progress of the course, we might reduce the duration of the Sunday class, and extend the duration of the course to 6 weeks.

After the training is over (48 hours), there will be additional hours (maybe 1-2 weeks) of intensive training, which will include fine tuning of all the aspects of the course, while preparing for the final grading.

This course is also designed in such a way, that it will help the participant, if he or she decides to, take acting as a profession.

Depending on the outcome of the grading, there might be a play (we have done away with the concept of presentation), which will be ticketed, showcasing what the students have learnt during the course. In case this does not happen, a lot of our recent students have been getting opportunities in various theatre productions, under the guidance of MISF!T.

The course gets constantly upgraded because the ideologies are constantly evolving.

Aspect of theatre like stage design, lights, and make-up might be added if there is time.

Please note punctuality and attendance are very essential.
