What Professionals Say
Do you know how to develop a character? Do you want to learn the art of storytelling? Ekalavya is the answer. This new initiative by Drama School Mumbai is going to empower people to take charge of their learning journey.
Ekalavya is absolutely fantastic and all the faculty is so exciting. This is the best opportunity to learn acting for anyone from anywhere in the country. I know Drama School Mumbai personally and it’s one of the best.
Everyone has stories to share with the world but everyone doesn’t know how to tell those stories. Through Ekalavya, you can learn how to tell your stories in the most effective way. Ekalavya brings the power of digital media to lakhs of people.
Acting training is a must for anyone who wants to be a good actor. What’s amazing about Ekalavya is that you can be in the comfort of your home and still acquire the skills you need in order to be a great artist.
Ekalavya is a very revolutionary idea as it provides quality acting training to all. People from smaller cities will surely get benefits and will be able to fulfil their dreams of becoming actors. I have also signed up for the Breaking Open Character course.
Ekalavya is a journey of self-discovery. At Ekalavya, you will learn to recognise your talent and work towards polishing it to be a better performer, an engaging storyteller, an impactful communicator and an empathetic leader.

Breaking Open Characters course is very interesting and effective. It has helped me in many ways to learn acting.
I already have 8 years experience in theatre and cinema. Still, It was a very good experience to learn from Ekalavya. Ekalavya is a fantastic Experience… Thank you very much… Love and Respect.
What a way to teach!! I am so much involved in the process even when it’s online. And, I can’t imagine that such content is available. This training is unbelievingly engaging and precise. Ekalavya is the best.
