The Department of Acting conducted a 10-day Mime Workshop for the II semester students of the 2024 admission batch from July 26 to August 4, 2025. The sessions were led by Shri. Manoj Nair, a nationally recognized theatre director and expert in mime with over three decades of experience.
The workshop was designed to introduce students to non-verbal communication, with a focus on the use of body, gesture, breath, rhythm, and spatial awareness as powerful tools for screen acting. Emphasizing the grammar of silence, the sessions helped students explore the expressive potential of physical theatre in building character, emotion, and narrative without words.
Throughout the workshop, students engaged in:
- Corporeal mime exercises involving resistance, pause, illusion, and timing
- Facial and gestural expression training for camera-based performances
- Improvisational storytelling and object transformation
- Sketch development and rehearsals
The final day of the workshop featured a public presentation titled “Mime Mirage” on August 4, 2025, where students performed short devised mime pieces reflecting the techniques they had internalized over the course of the training.
This initiative is part of the department’s ongoing commitment to providing students with a holistic acting foundation, especially in physical and performance-based disciplines that directly enhance screen readiness.
