Between the Lines - Theatre Workshop

An Introduction to Theatre (Not just Acting)

“Theatre is an art of execution, not intention — and this workshop is built the same

way.”

Between the Lines is a basic theatre workshop designed for beginners and early

practitioners who want to understand how theatre works.

How We Work (Execution Over Explanation)

This workshop is designed as a working rehearsal, not a lecture.

-           Exercises are simple, repeatable, and practical

-           Instructions are minimal; correction happens through doing

-           Scenes are built, broken, and rebuilt

-           Mistakes are not discussed — they are used

Participants will work with:

-           Presence before performance — learning how to occupy space without

-           set

-           Power before emotion — understanding what a scene is negotiating, not what it

-           is “feeling.”

-            Silence as action — treating pauses, stillness, and listening as dramatic tools

-           Humour through restraint — discovering comedy by removing effort, not

-           adding it

In practice, performance breakdowns are rarely linked to talent. It more often stems

from an actor’s inability to distinguish between expressive intent and actionable

behaviour within a scene.

 This workshop is an attempt to slow things down.

To look at:

-           Why a pause exists

-           Why is a line spoken now and not later

-           Why humour lands only when you stop chasing it

Conductor: Ankit Gor

“Art is meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed”

Ankit lives by this quote. He, quite literally, gets people out of their comfort zones and makes them think through his art and on the other hand, he himself finds solace in art. Ankit is a known name when it comes to the theatre and Film scene of Ahmedabad. He is a director, actor writer and a published author. His journey to the stage started when he was a child. But it was during his college days that he realized the power of the stage. It was then Ankit decided that he wants to get into storytelling, be it through any medium. 

Ankit has won the multiple awards for his contribution in Gujarati films and television. In the process of crafting stories, he founded ANTICLOCK THEATRE LLP. Under the same banner he created play like Pythagoras, In between and 3 Men.

At the Abhivyakti City Arts Project, he has been the curator for Theatre department for the second and third editions.
