Hari Mina Bala, a participant at the Intensive Drama Program (IDP) in 2009 recalls his experience briefly
Sudeep Modak
How was the experience at the IDP 2009?
Intense. The time didn't seem enough though. Superb.
What according to you is unique or special about the IDP?
The faculty are all leaders in their own fields. Training with them for three weeks in an intense setting leaves you a little wiser with things to apply to your work.
How has the IDP benefited you as an Artiste?
I've changed my thought process and attitude to certain things. This has been a progress. I haven't made the jump to artiste yet but the course has provided me with steps.
According to you , one thing that could be done differently at the IDP this year?
Turn it into a full time drama course.
