Acting Masterclass by Shikhar Theatrewala

THE ACTING MASTERCLASS

Most people "perform" acting. Very few actually understand it.

Nivara x Theatrewala brings a 3-hour intensive Acting Masterclass to Bengaluru, designed for aspiring actors, beginners, theatre artists, performers and anyone serious about understanding acting as a craft and exploring it as a career.

Acting is more than memorising lines, creating expressions or pretending to be someone else. This masterclass explores what acting really is, how truthful expression is developed, how emotions can be accessed without faking them, and why an actor`s authentic self can become one of their greatest strengths.

The session is designed as a practical, interactive and process-driven experience, with exercises and guided exploration that encourage participants to work on themselves as performers rather than simply learn theory.
