Unlike the regular
workshops, in BroaderWay we concentrate on nourishing our
participants to become an all round theatre person. The participant
will be exposed to the regimes of a trained theatre artist and will
be stage trained to handle productions of any level.
Since an actor on stage needs to use his body more than his face
successful body and mind coordination will be focussed on in
BroaderWay.
The potential of theatre as a tool of successful communication and
its potency to reach all sections of the society would be
communicated to all participants. They would be encouraged to use
this powerful tool to fulfill the social responsibilities of a duty
bound citizen.
We use innovative theatre tools to communicate the content of the
workshop. The leisurely structure of the workshop is not heavy on
any participant and uses games, improvisations etc. to communicate
complex theatre practices such as Body Movement, Self Confidence,
Thought, Concentration, Voice Modulation, Observation, Imagination,
Language and Speech skills. This successfully eliminates all phobias
related to public speaking and presentations. Removing physical and
mental blocks to make the participant to an actor is our major aim.
By the end of this workshop the topophobians will become true
thespians.

Overall Description:
The "BroaderWay" Theatre Workshop is intended for individuals over
10 years of age. Any individual interested in acting; regardless of
skill level, experience or artistic goals. Each session is
specifically geared towards a discipline in theatre and will give
the actor an opportunity to explore areas that they have not had a
great deal of exposure to or would like to have a greater
understanding of - in a relaxed environment. The main goal of this
workshop is to help actors improve their skills and make themselves
more marketable on an amateur or professional level.
Part Two: The second part of the workshop is a production, which
would help all the participants to take up their interest to test.
We would stage a full length production and put it up like any other
professional theatre. This would also encourage working as a team
and working for the same goal.
Programme By: This programme itinerary and content has gone through
professional scanning. Professionals from theatre, music, art and
administration have put in their valuable time into the programme
and it has been simplified to assist all participants.
Note: BroaderWay has been very effective tool for workshop
productions and the structure was like this. Training lasts for 15
days and the other 15 days would be worked out for the actual
production. Minimum time per day should be two hours and maximum 4
hours. Most of the time it hovers between 2 to 4 hours a day. We
have successfully executed this workshop for individual enthusiasts,
interest groups, educational institution and working professionals.
