T was not about learning lines and distributing them well, but about making acting inclusive. There was no fixed language and people from all areas of life came together to learn, grow and perform.

Unlike traditional BFA or MFA programs, which takes two to three years, Ratan structured the courses in such a way that learning was still deepened. “Ratan used to teach in an easy way, the course material spread for two to three months for two hours. It was later converted into a more structured weekend course, ”Vishal says, who MISF! T participated in several levels 1 and level 2 courses in T.
