I have always loved the stage, but for many reasons it was always more like a torrid affair that I was having outside of my work as a digital marketer. It was in 2017 August that I finally quit for good and decided to follow my love for arts. I have since, donned many hats. 

I have trained for and performed Shakespeare's works in Prague, I have travelled as a clown with Clowns without Borders (India, Sweden & UK) in Maharashtra and Bangladesh. I trained as an actor with some of the best mentors in India - Daminee Benny Basu, Rupesh Tillu, Glenn Hayden, Neeraj Kabi, and Vinay Verma. 

I took every opportunity I had at learning and performing and creating. I am an actor, poet, writer and producer. It was about two years ago that I discovered the craft of self intimacy. It started with a film that had a fair amount of simulated sex and I felt at a loss. I was with team I knew, and yet I didn't know how to set my boundaries, my co-actor was a friend but I didn't know how to say no for something I wasn't willing to do or explore, and mostly I was immensely conscious of my body. 

The nerd that I am, I started with a small introduction that I had with intimacy choreography in one of my ensemble members at the Prague Shakespeare Company. I started googling and researching and digging in on how I could create a practice for myself that allowed me to deliver to the director's aesthetic for a scene involving physical touch or emotional intimacy. In the process of training myself, I discovered that I could share this with other actors. I started with smaller projects and have now been able to work with bigger commercial projects. I am also training to be an intimacy co-ordinator with IDC, USA. 

As an actor, I always felt the need to be prepared for anything that was thrown at me, and I trained for it all. It was somewhere at a set I realised, no one really prepares you for intimacy on set or stage like like they do for action scenes or dance choreographies.

So I created a process and with help from my mentors and some international training, I am now sharing it with my peers. 

My process for actors is self designed, keeping in mind the cultural context we live with, the actor's craft and my personal experiences and practice.
