BKS Conducts Age No Bar Uplifting Workshop In New Delhi
Ravi Kemmu conducted an acting workshop in Delhi, where he mentored the young performers on the 11th of March, 2025, in New Delhi.
Ravi Kemmu, a well-known actor and director, recently led a workshop on acting that took place in New Delhi from March 8th to March 10th. Bahumukhi Kalakaar Sangam (BKS) organised the session in conjunction with the Chavara Cultural Centre. The event brought together aspiring actors eager to improve their craft under the guidance of an experienced professional, allowing their passion and talent to blossom.
The program, which took place at Majnu Ka Tilla, provided participants with a seamless combination of creative inquiry and practical training. Character creation, improvisation, voice training, and scene study were some of the activities that participants participated in while also gaining knowledge from Kemmu’s broad experience in the film and theatre industries. An alumnus of the National School of Drama and a former professor at Bhartendu Natya Academy, Kemmu, whose credits include films such as Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) and Rajneeti (2010), placed an emphasis on authenticity in performance. He encouraged actors to draw from their personal experiences to infuse their roles with a sense of life and vitality.
As Kemmu reflected on the event, he made the following observation: “The participants’ enthusiasm and commitment were really motivating.” To make it a beneficial experience for both the students and myself, we concentrated on developing our personalities, improving our speaking, developing our characters, and practising improvisation. His remarks resonated deeply with the audience, instilling in them a feeling of empowerment and camaraderie as they departed.
Additionally, the workshop received a lot of support from influential cultural figures. The director of the Chavara Cultural Centre, Dr. Roby Kannanchira, CMI, emphasised the significant role that theatre plays in fostering creativity and boosting self-confidence in young artists. Melwyn Williams, chairman of BKS, emphasised the organisation’s dedication to bringing together artists from a wide range of fields and developing a platform for growth through collaborative efforts.
The belief that power can be found in togetherness is something that BKS, a non-profit organisation that is dedicated to boosting Indian artists in the fields of film, television, digital media, theatre, folk arts, and fine arts, has been advocating for a long time. Not only does BKS encourage collaboration across disciplines through its Artists United project, but it also provides career coaching and advocates for the rights of artists.
Insightful and life-changing were two words that attendees used to describe the session, which received widespread praise from those who took part in it. They liked the practical techniques and personalised feedback that was provided, which not only helped them improve their acting talents but also developed a feeling of community by allowing them to connect with people who shared similar interests and experiences.
Both BKS and the Chavara Cultural Centre are keen to continue their support for emerging talent, guaranteeing additional programmes that will develop the next generation of performers and improve the cultural landscape. This favourable response has encouraged both organisations to maintain their support for emerging talent.
