Event Details

New beginner’s acting workshop/course starting on Nov 6th 2011

News: MISF!T® (My Interest Stays Firmly In Theatre) is now starting its new Level 1 (Batch 24) acting course/workshop on Nov 6 2011. After the first round of selection on the 9th of Oct, there was a sincere request from the students to start on the 6th of Nov, because of the festival season. This is the the 10th year of the acting workshops.

This workshop promises you nothing except the understanding of ‘belief’ – Acting is believing.

 

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.

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 professional play showcasing what the students have learnt during the course. This was done with the students of the previous batch; most of them had never acted before but made their debut in a professional play – “Just Let Them…” . The play involved not only the students of the workshop but also professional actors and senior members of MISF!T.

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

Please note punctuality and attendance are very essential.

Introducing a new aspect: There is an intention to do a short film at the end of the workshop, where the participants will get an opportunity to act in a short film, which they can later use as part of their portfolio. This film will be shot by professionals. Registration:
