Hi Baba, (Ratan) Good morning!! Had been planning to write you this email but then would always think ,’Abhi toh class baaki ha, ll write post the last class’ so that i include everything that i have learnt .. and today morning realised that the Workshop level 2 in

Like many of us would agree, a good measure of an actor lies in his ability to convince the viewer that he is not acting but is the very character he is depicting. That is probably the core of what I perceive to be the purpose and direction of the

L1 was quite amazing in itself. I have slowly got rid of some of my inhibitions, and learnt stage techniques. I was quite satisfied with the presentation as well. But then I guess I did not have enough belief in myself to do L2. But Prakash Kota was telling L2

Level-2 acting worskhop at MISFIT is a complete elevated experience from Level-1,it now feels like as if the(L-1)workshop was preparing us for this…Acting is for ‘REAL’.The workshop is rigorous,fun and in detail.
