Come! Take tips from Prof Bisaria

MIDWAY THROUGH the interview, as this correspondent shifts posture, Prof Raj Bisaria suddenly turns around towards his young ?friends? (students!) and explains how important ?body language? is. His ?friends? watch intently as this correspondent becomes the professor?s subject for a while. This was just the demo.

From Monday 5 pm onwards at the Study Hall (prep school) at Gomti Nagar, the professor would begin his Holistic Theatre Training Workshop to start process of what he calls, “personality development.” And the workshop, professor explains, is not meant for theatre people alone.

“All those things like proper speech, diction, confidence required in theatre are also important in other fields. We would be discussing the importance of discipline and use of one’s body among various other things,” the professor said.

A leading light in theatre and guru to several top names of Hindi film industry, Prof Bisaria is also planning to get some people from the National School of Drama (NSD) to further help his ‘friends’ who would enrol themselves for the workshop.

Those who have been at his first ‘full fledged Holistic Theatre Training Workshop’ testify the positive effects it had on them.
