Syllabus

First Month: Tools & Techniques (Foundational Actor’s Training)

In the first month, our focus is on building a strong foundation through intensive actor-oriented practices. We work deeply on the four core instruments of an actor:

1. Body

Actors go through physical awareness, alignment, flexibility, and movement-based exercises. The goal is to free the body from habitual patterns and make it responsive, expressive, and available for performance.

2. Mind

We train the actor’s focus, imagination, observation, and creative thinking. Through structured tasks and improvisations, actors learn to stay present, attentive, and emotionally open.

3. Voice

The training includes breath control, resonance, clarity, projection, articulation, and emotional colouring of voice. Actors understand how to use their voice as a dynamic expressive tool.

4. Emotions

Through guided processes, actors learn how to access, navigate, and express emotions truthfully. Exercises help them connect personal experiences with performance craft without losing control.

Second & Third Months: Theatre Input / Camera Input

After completing the foundational month, actors choose their specialization based on their interest and future goals:


🎭 Option 1: Theatre Input

If the actor chooses Theatre, the training focuses on deeper craft and live performance:

What We Cover

  • Improvisations
    To build spontaneity, imagination, and truthful reactions on stage.

  • Script Analysis & Decoding
    Actors learn to break down scenes, understand character journeys, and interpret subtext.

  • Scene Work
    Rehearsing, structuring, and performing scenes with professional direction.

Final Presentation

Actors perform their scenes with complete technical setup
— lights, set, costumes, sound, music, props —
and the show is open for a live audience.

This gives actors real stage experience and professional confidence.


🎬 Option 2: Camera Acting Input

If the actor chooses Camera, the training focuses on screen acting tools and on-set discipline.

What We Cover

  • Camera Technicalities
    Understanding shots, angles, framing, continuity, marks, and on-camera presence.

  • Improvisation for Camera
    Learning to deliver natural, controlled, and intimate performances on screen.

  • Practical Filming
    We shoot a short film or high-quality short content professionally.

Final Outcome

  • Actors receive a professional showreel / work link

  • The content is also released on an OTT platform,
    giving them a credible portfolio for casting and industry use.
