Every individual has their own unique style of carrying their body or playing expressions.It is very important to train actors helping them retain their own style and originality.At Swatantra Theatre we will have a mixed blend of practical and theoretical knowledge of acting and its techniques.
This Theatre /Acting program is not just a mere training of techniques.We will start with basic regional form of Indian theatre/acting and art popularly known as Indian Classical Theatre . Every artist must know the Indian theatre where we inculcate our traditional and culture form, because India presents a colourful assortment of traditional theatre like Nautanki, tamasha, jatra, yakshagana,this helps immensely since the actors frequently converse with the audience in the course of the play.The stage is often a huge empty space where actors deftly manipulate with their dialogues and gestures.Loud music, dance, elaborated use of make up, masks and singing chorus are its hallmarks.These kind of plays provide a valuable insight into the local dialect, dress, attitude, humour, and wit of the regions.
All this can give a deep insight and broaden a way of looking to the form of acting.It can prove a strong base.
Adding to this we have designed the workshop to cover the following different aspects of learning Acting.
Method Acting to Character Acting Stage Acting to Film Acting Nautanki Art Form to Modern Art forms Experimentation techniques to Professional techniques Along with that; sessions on Natyashastra, Method Acting forms will also be conducted.
Work extensively on: Voice Culture Development, Acting Skills, Body Language Exercise sessions on various body exercises and voice exercises Acting involves two forms of communication intrascenic (communication between characters) and extrascenic (communication between the characters and the audience or camera) aspects of both the forms of communication will be a major workout here.
