I was really lucky to be one of the students in Ratan’s first Advanced workshop batch. The workshop was intended to raise the level of our understanding of the skill of acting and to inch closer to professional performances.

This workshop required us to be dedicated and to pick up nuances that would improve our acting and move towards “in the moment” performances. The workshop had tougher exercises that helped us to better understand and work on our strengths and weaknesses.

For me in many ways the advanced workshop helped me to gain the confidence to try out interesting and different roles and characters. Learning about the intricacies of acting and characterization helped me in better understanding scripts and script writing (which was also my initial goal)

Working with a set of dedicated actors the experience was very fruitful. The course gave us the confidence of trying out new plays and performing them in a professional way.
