Ravi Kemmu leads acting workshop in Delhi, helps aspiring actors sharpen their craft

New Delhi : Actor and director Ravi Kemmu led a three-day acting workshop from March 8th to 10th in New Delhi, organized by Bahumukhi Kalakaar Sangam (BKS) in collaboration with the Chavara Cultural Centre. The event brought together aspiring actors eager to refine their craft under the guidance of an industry veteran, creating a space where passion and talent could flourish.

Held at Majnu Ka Tilla, the workshop seamlessly combined practical training with creative exploration. Participants delved into character development, improvisation, voice training, and scene study, all while learning from Kemmu’s extensive experience in theatre and film. An alumnus of the National School of Drama and a former professor at Bhartendu Natya Academy, Kemmu—whose credits include films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) and Rajneeti (2010)—emphasized authenticity in performance, encouraging actors to tap into their personal experiences to breathe life into their roles.

Reflecting on the experience, Kemmu noted, "The energy and dedication of the participants were inspiring. We focused on personality development, speech, characterization, and improvisation, making it a rewarding experience for both the students and myself." His words resonated with the audience, who left feeling both empowered and connected.

The workshop also enjoyed strong support from cultural leaders. Dr. Fr. Roby Kannanchira CMI, Director of the Chavara Cultural Centre, stressed the vital role of theatre in nurturing creativity and building confidence in young artists. Melwyn Williams, Chairman of BKS, highlighted the organization’s commitment to uniting artists across various disciplines and creating a collaborative platform for growth.

BKS, a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting Indian artists across cinema, TV, digital media, theatre, folk arts, and fine arts, has long championed the idea that strength lies in unity. Through its Artists United initiative, BKS not only fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration but also offers career guidance and advocacy for artist rights.

The workshop was widely appreciated by its participants, who described it as both insightful and transformative. They valued the practical techniques and personalized feedback provided, which not only enhanced their acting skills but also fostered a sense of community as they connected and shared experiences with like-minded peers.

Encouraged by this positive response, both BKS and the Chavara Cultural Centre are eager to continue their support for emerging talent, promising more initiatives that will nurture the next generation of performers and enrich the cultural landscape.
