12:48 am as I write. “Disturbing” for the professor is good for “creativity” for the student!!  Without squeezing the orange how do you get the tasty juice? Today’s class was very meaningful.  Totally agree that “simplicity” makes acting fresh and real.  It does take the extraneous mental calculations away and

I am enjoying the revisit of level 2. The process of acting is becoming even more clear, the outcome is obviously me going to a better level and delivering better performance. In Thursday’s class, the highlight for me was the ease with which we can create a character, by picking up

Whew! What a journey it has been, finishing the Level 2, Batch 4, MISF!T acting workshop by Ratan, in September 2009. I finished the Level 1 workshop in June 2006, which brings back so many nostalgic memories. During the interim, I became a professional “audien”, watching plays by others. Something

The advance cource was very different from what i had expected. Any course conducted by Rathan is a lot of fun but there were portions of the advance course that were intense and very personal for me. There was a lot of introspection required for the basic emotions and I

Harrowingly intense and almost about self discovery! It was an interesting experience as an actor. I learnt to feel for the characters I was playing and build a background. Cut off from all my peripherals like stage, costume, lights, etc and stripped down to my bare essentials, I started to

Level 2 is extemely intense. I feel any aspiring actor should be part of Ratan’s Level 2 acting workshop. It helps you unearth all those buried emotions and in turn makes one realize acting is, “how real one can be!” Personally I felt it was 2-3 months of self discovery.

I haven’t acted in a rather long time, though I have been helping out a lot of groups with their performances. And my last acting performance was a disaster, by my standards. Consequently, I have developed a certain fear of, and an aversion to getting up on stage. So when

Find Manju on FB Hi Baba,I joined the course with lot of doubts whether I’ll be able to learn it or will I enjoy during the course. But after joining I enjoyed all the 5weeks(level1-batch38) of classes. Grading play was of good experience, it was great to perform in front

 Find Nieil on Facebook Dear Ratan I finally did it. After putting it off for many years, I finally enrolled for an acting class, did my Level 1, and completed it. Then……Level 2. Looking back, enrolling myself to do the Level 2 was one of the craziest things I ever did.

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

Again was very nervous at the start with Ratan scaring us in the first class. But it kept getting better and better with some serious acting and critical feedbacks. On my side, I was able to pick up some of the learnings I has missed in my Level 1. Also

It’s gr8 to now see you more regularly online. I’ve been meaning to write my feedback about MISFITS though I’m fairly sure I did earlier too in the feedback form, but it’s always nice to dwell on happy times. I would recommend MISFITS to anybody in Bangalore who has any
