ACTING IS CHALENGE

FAI, India’s finest acting school in Mumbai initiated by Arun Kamal, now comes to Ahmedabad. Not only will it offer specialised courses in Acting and grooming of actors by the best teachers and celebrities in Bollywood, but for the first time it will also impart a unique life-transformation course, THE CHANGE WITHIN.

After having trained over a hundred and sixty students at FAI, Mr Arun Kamal has distilled his skills and knowledge to present a course uniquely shaped to the needs of our times. All of us have experienced stress, shyness, insecurity, or an overhanging sense of failure, at one time or another. THE CHANGE WITHIN provides the key to coping, and overcoming, such problems.

By drawing upon the wellsprings of acting, yoga, inter-personal skills, behavioural sciences, THE CHANGE WITHIN will impart vital life-improving skills that are not part of any curriculum. It will enable participants in the programme to project their personality forcefully, anywhere, anytime.

THE CHANGE WITHIN is a course for everybody. For college students seeking to express themselves better, for professionals seeking that cutting edge, for corporate executives desirous of making a mark with their presentations, for senior managers who wish to communicate their ideas clearly to their A-Teams, for artistes looking for that that touch of confidence to make their endeavours exquisite. It is, indeed, a course for everybody. The course that will alter your life.

The core module of this three-month course is a basic Acting programme which will be the catalyst in the transformation process. It will teach you confidence, the elements of posture, voice modulation, diction, the art of being expressive. It will also incorporate Dance and Yoga as methods to train the body to be supple and flexible, and the mind to remain calm under all conditions. The other major modules are Grooming and Social Skills. They will guide you through minefields of style, dress sense and accessories, use of cosmetics, speaking conversational English and Hindi with the right accent, table manners, social graces etc.
