Coining a term as ‘course’ for this will not be fair, I would say it is an “EXPERIENCE”. This is surely one of the Bucket List item for those having even slight interest in acting.

My journey with MISFIT started with an hour long interview process, not only Baba (Ratan Sir) but the previous/senior Misfits were there. Why acting? What next? Why Misfit? Are you Serious about acting? Any experience? What were you doing in your previous plays? Uffff… More than the questions, every sentence a senior would say about course and Baba, was like a warning. Had money in my pocket, had registration form in hand, and a dilemma in mind, but made my mind to just go ahead and finally registered.

Yes, I did take a right decision… The course was a PAISA VASOOL.

Two days before the course Started, a mail came making me more conscious, where a list of rules (some warning like “Hell breaks loose”) are written and then a greeting saying “Be Good…”.

First day of course was exactly like first day of college, room of strangers. But the Breaking inhibition activities did a magic, we all became comfortable. And in a span of few weeks we became good friends, learnt a lot, had great fun and now we have our final exams of L1 course i.e. our grading and all of us are practicing for the same.

Course content is properly designed and baba teaches in a perfect way adding one on the other incrementally.

Course is not bound just inside 3 walls and 1 mirror, in some activities we go out on to the roads and execute. Still those exercises and activities are fresh in mind :) .

Improvising gets your spontaneity ON. Observation chapter surprises you to see how the world behaves and also yourself. And after this observation chapter, you will really start observing every minute details. Pantomime class, lot of fun it was. And then comes my personal favorite trust chapter and blindfold activity, where we learnt not only to trust our co-actors, but how much responsibility one needs to take for the play, and also realized how bad we use our senses. Though this was a blindfold activity, it was an eye-opener for me. Thanks a lot Baba.

Acting is really not easy at all, lot of technicalities involved, but under the guidance of Baba the Acting Guru, for sure you will learn the process clearly. Looking forward to learn more.

Regards,
AbhishekA, a proud MISF!T :)
