Whether you are a weekend actor looking to explore the basics or someone who wants to develop key communication skills and confidence – there is a DSM workshop that you can sign up for!

Foundation Skills in Acting:

Acting is has been described variously as an art, a craft, a reaction and a state of being. At DSM we believe, acting, indeed drama as a whole, is a function of doing. And hence our Foundation Skills in Acting workshops focus on practical approaches to character and stagework. These workshops are held 3 to 4 times in a year and conducted each time by well-trained, experienced actors. FSAs are ideal for stage beginners of every age who want to take a sip before diving in deep. This past year DSM has hosted:

• Shruti Mishra (School for Theatre Creators, Chicago | Wutao School, Paris | Helikos International School for Theatre Creation, Florence) who took participants through the exercises of Jacques Lecoq
• Hetal Varia (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, London) who introduced the participants to voice and its optimum use
• Deshik Vansadia (Stella Adler Academy of Acting, Shakespeare & Company) who brought his passion for Shakespeare

The seed of DSM lies in the desire to create a place for theatre practitioners to build their practice. We continue to stay true to our intentions by exploiting every opportunity to bring gurus of traditional Indian forms, leading international theatre-makers and accomplished masters of the art and craft of theatre from across the world to Mumbai to share their vast knowledge and skills with our theatre industry.

These advanced workshops range from week-long engagements to 2 day intensive sessions open to those who have been dedicated to theatre and allied spaces for a few years.

This past year DSM has hosted:

• Paul Goodwin (Course Director, MA Acting at Drama Centre London | MA in Voice Studies, Central School of Speech and Drama | Artistic Director, The Shakespeare Edit, London) who conducted a workshop on the intricacies on Shakespearean acting
• Sarah Barfoot (Member – The Society of The Teachers of The Alexander Technique (STAT)) who conducted a masterclass in the Alexander Technique
• Dr Sara Matchett (senior lecturer at the University of Cape Town and founder of The Mothertongue Project) who brought Fitzgerald Voicework to Mumbai
