How do you place yourself in theatre and where do you place theatre in life?- As an actor? A performer? A motivator? A narrator?

Explore the theatre in life and experience the life in theatre. The live form of visual art, Theatre, like in real life is where transmission of energy from people to people and situations happens. It’s a space time coalition where energy from the performers, directors, musicians, writers, etc., transfers to the audience and back to the performers.

We are here to express our vision of theatre. From the beginning of humanity many have been striving to attain consciousness or to know oneself. This knowledge of the self is always in rhythm with the knowledge of the collective. We believe just like meditation can be achieved in all activities the conscious effort of self-awareness, the knowledge of what you are and how you are to others, is a journey in itself. We are trying to find a balance between the process of knowing oneself, to look into and accepting oneself and using these insights to become socially aware and unlock the theatre in life to become how you visualise yourself as a social being thereby making the participant aware of a journey which could make them at least a better actor if not a better human or both.
