About The Event
NIVARA x THEATREWALA Presents
The Forge
13 Day Hybrid Acting Intensive - Bangalore Edition
Phase 2 of the India Tour begins with a different kind of acting experience.
THE FORGE is a 13 day intensive designed to take an actor through a complete process of training, exploration, rehearsal, ensemble work, and live performance.
Across 35 hours of learning, the process moves between studio immersion and online development, building not just individual skills but the ability to work with text, character, body, voice, partners, space, and an ensemble.
And it doesn`t end in a classroom.
The journey culminates in a LIVE THEATRE PERFORMANCE before an audience.
