Today’s class was very meaningful.  Totally agree that “simplicity” makes acting fresh and real.  It does take the extraneous mental calculations away and

Find Devanand on Facebook   This feedback is not because you have asked; it’s because I wanted to give one. Everyone is saying Level 2 is Torment; Ratan also asked us so many times “Are you sure you all want to join L2?” and even told us that it’s not about

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
