One Year Residence Program
A key objective of this course is to study and to set aside a time span for yourself, and for understanding your desire for existence. A space is expected to be built, where you can realise your role as an actor, and grasp your identity and vision as an artiste.
In a competitive world, living and facing challenges together as a collective of individuals for a year, will enable us to vest time and space to be conscious of one’s self and about each other.
Language is a culture. This course is also inclusive of the space for nourishment through diverse sound/noise patterns, listening to another’s opinion, and to respect another’s thought.
Although the course has been structured to flow in the English language, there is freedom to use a vernacular language in writing or acting. Research articles, journals, thesis, and scripts compiled by you must be translated to English and handed over before the deadlines.
An unrestrained space to understand ‘me’ of the past, ‘me’ of the present, and ‘me’ who will be…
