About
Actor, director and musician is an independent artist living in Bangalore. His plays and films continuously explore urban loneliness, sexuality, space and time, abuse, human conditioning, and most of all the humor or tragedy hidden in all of it. He runs LIGHTS OFF, a small theatre company which aims at finding stories in the most complex questions. He has facilitated several theatre workshops across the country meeting hundreds of actors, working extensively on the musicality of actors, magic realism, gibberish and the fear of vulnerability.
He has performed at the Swedish Improv festival at Uppsala, where he learnt about making a scene out of nothing, the starting point to devising, he adds. His most fascinating collaboration though has been with his alma mater Indianostrum in Pondicherry where his journey towards understanding the difference between a character and an actor started. Rituals and ploys, playing and finding, waiting and wondering, holding on to the silence and letting go of the noise, his recent play Padagu, has affirmed in him that, the joy of being vulnerable on stage, well create everything, while the actor just has to be present.
