Why Roshan Taneja Foundation for Performing Arts? |
|
|
|
While other acting schools take in large numbers of students in each batch, at RTFPA the classes are limited in size, ensuring one to one interaction, promoting the individual development of every student. Coaching is directed to address individual problems for each student and ample importance is given to individuals to improve on their particular weaknesses. |

Why is it that most institutions offer a 3 month acting course while Roshan Taneja Foundation for Performing Arts has a 4 month course? |
|
|
|
That is because we are dedicated to teaching acting rather than running an acting school. We strongly believe that even 4 months is less time to actually train an actor, but to be competitive in the market, it was crucial to shorten the length of the course while still preserving its most essential elements. |

Can a person learn acting in 4 months? |
|
|
|
Talent is something you already possess. A teacher can only groom it and blossom it or help you bring it out of yourself. Many great actors have taken years to gain mastery over their art. It is only the dedication and discipline of an actor to learn and practice which will make him a good actor. 4 months would be the minimum amount of time required to groom an actor. |

Does this course assure me work in the film/television industry? |
|
|
|
An Actor needs a platform to showcase his/her talent. We have tied up with leading Film+TV production houses and will provide all students with productive references. We will also forward our students to auditions all over. |

Is it necessary to learn all the subjects mentioned on the curriculum page? |
|
|
|
Yes, it is absolutely necessary to learn all the subjects mentioned on the curriculum page. Most of these subjects are the basic elements of learning acting, which if not learnt or undertaken, cannot help the actor achieve what he/she is here for. Some subjects like Dance and Action (Fights) are important considering the requirements of the Film Industry(ies). |

|
Will I be made a show reel at the end of the course? |
|
|
|
There will be video shoots of scenes and monologues performed by the student actor. These recordings will be made on mini DV tapes provided by the students. These recordings can be used as a show reel by the student. In the strict sense, this is only a record for the student to know how much has he/she progressed during the course, and for analysis of one's own performance. |

|
Can I professionally work alongside while undertaking the course? |
|
|
|
There are many working professionals who undertake the acting course while continuing with their jobs/businesses alongside. We do not have anything against this, except that we want them to give their 100% while in the class and complete all the exercises and homework given to them, while maintaining at least a 90% attendance level. Besides them, we strongly oppose students taking up assignments or projects that require them to 'act' on a professional or amateur level in any field - be it films, advertisements, theatre or television. The ineptitude of the student due to a lack of training would be demeaning for both the student and the institution. Hence, please avoid any professional commitments during the course. |
