The students aspiring to become actors and other forms of the theatre art have got a chance to hone their skills in a workshop being organised by Sri Sri Ravishankar Sanstha (SSRS) here at Gandhi Bhavan.
The workshop is being conducted by a noted artiste of Bangalore, Shelja Shukla. During the 20-day workshop, the students are being trained through various mudras to improve their concentration level. The workshop also includes theory, practical and application in acting skills, music and dance. Notably, theatre is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performances of may be real or imagined events on stage before the audience.
There are different elements which play a vital role in theatre world one of which is stage craft, he said. Stage craft is very important as half of the act becomes understood through the kind of set is being put up. The students are being trained to improvise the sense of acting, gestures, expressions and emotions.
Further, the students are also taught basic acting exercises to strengthen their acting foundation. This training programme further aims to free students from self consciousness and strengthen their concentration through sensory exercises. Students are being given assignments to apply in their theatrical personality and performance.
The students would stage a play before the Bhopalites on the concluding day of the workshop.
