Every year, we organise our flagship six-month Actors’ Training Program. Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about the 2024 edition of the Program.

It’s the flagship yearly actors’ training program conducted by Nandikar.

Workshops will be held every Monday from 5pm to 8pm (three hours) and every Saturday from 3pm to 8pm (five hours).

The sessions will happen at the Federation Hall, which is opposite Rajabazar Science College and beside Brahmo Girls School, in Kolkata. Here is a Google map of the place: http://tinyurl.com/fedhall

The program is designed and presided over by Rudraprasad Sengupta. In-house trainers of Nandikar including Rudraprasad Sengupta, Sohini Sengupta and Nandikar family will conduct the workshops. We also engage gurus from various performing and communication art fields.

The Program is for interested people aged 18 years and above. (We have a separate round-the-year Sunday program for children between 5 to 18 years divided into three different age groups).

The sessions will primarily be conducted in Bengali.

Yes, if you regularly attend the sessions and complete the course you would get a certificate from us stating so.

Not necessarily. However, we have regularly been inducting new members into our fold through this Program. Such inductions are based on mutual compatibility, engagement and commitment.

What started off as the Theatre in Education program in collaboration with the Government of India about 30 years back, has now evolved into a full-fledged children’s training program that runs round the year.

Every Sunday, we have theatre sessions with children in three separate groups:
Group A: For children between 5 and 9 years of age
Group B: For children between 9 and 13 years of age, and
Group C: For children between 13 and 18 years of age

It won’t be right to say that these are run-off- the-mill acting workshops. In these sessions children are provided with a creative space where they are provoked to explore. They explore their body, their sense and their mind. They explore their surroundings and their friends in the same group. They are encouraged to co-operate (and not just compete, as many outside would like them to). They explore literature, music, art, dance and whatnot. And through all this, theatre is born.
