“I came closer to myself” – this is what I can say after attending the level -1 acting classes at MISFIT. The acting classes given are very expensive but I think what I received from the classes is far more than that – I loved it. Before attending the classes, I had lot of inhibitions/ restrictions about myself which were completely broken by the 3rd week. I started learning ways to express better than before. Among the many things which I learnt, here are the key ones:
1. Awareness – learnt a great deal of awareness of myself. Awareness of how my every sense is reacting to situation I am presented with and how it is responding. Emotions are of various levels & how important is it to be aware of them. Important role of the five senses
2. Techniques –learnt techniques not just involving the face or a particular part of my body but in wholeness – which is what we do in our normal situations in life. Giving life to situations which may normally not occur in our lives. Gained deeper understanding of character & various components to it
3. Respect – while it may seem very casual that anything goes with actors; but the most important thing to respect another actor in whichever role one is performing. Without the feeling of respect for another actor, there is no fulfillment because the whole thing about is give & take.
4. Wisdom – The most important thing which I learnt during the classes is to use Wisdom. Without the use of wisdom, no script can come to life in my opinion. Without the use of right wisdom, even an awesome script can become useless
The energy which Ratan carries is of a different dimension. He has been extremely kind & patient during the six weeks. He helped me opening up, breaking the inhibitions (the blind fold exercise was incredible). He brought the whole group together while using formal & informal sessions – continuously spending time with us. I loved the trust exercises too…they were just incredible. The seniors from previous batches also spent a lot of time in helping us with our pain points. Thanks to Vishal, Venky & others.
MISFIT is the place to goto if anyone wants to learn about themselves
Ratan Sir – thank you for the wonderful classes, your positive energy & helping me to get a different perspective.
See you in L2 classes soon.
Best Regards,
Parag
