Participant reviews
I am so happy I took this course! – Kirtin P.
“Every session that I had with Gopal helped me to improve my communication and feel comfortable while presenting myself in public. When I started the classes, I was not able to communicate properly and lacked confidence but while attending these sessions I learned and implemented ways in which I can improve, tools that will serve me for the rest of my life. Also, the thing that I loved the most about this course is how Gopal illustrates his unique perspective playfully. The sessions were fantastic and I would suggest that everyone enroll for Gopal’s courses."Great way to escape from the real world – Taniya S.
"I’m absolutely thankful to Gopal and GISB for introducing me to new interactive ways to learn new skills while having fun. One word story was my favourite game in addition to the activity where we had to escape a dangerous situation. These games helped me to interact with my classmates on a personal level. I really liked the chilled vibe of the sessions, it did not feel like a formal workshop at all but more like a group of few friends coming together and having fun. Personally each and every person should attend his session at least once. And during such a stressful time, the sessions are to-die-for!“
It was highly positive – Megha P.
"It was an experience to be able to feel accepted and not judged. What I loved was how it made us draw attention to very important things in school life like observe first and then arrive at a story. I love the way you were channelising the energy towards common goal, without using much words. This was the best non-verbal workshop I have ever attended!“
What We Do and About Us
Bring the power of theatre to everyday life
Workshops
For Leaders and their Teams
Conducted via Zoom and in-person, these workshops bring alive leadership ideas and responses through theatre games. It will teach you to be a better leader in any organization using techniques from improv theatre, playback theatre and theatre of the oppressed. These workshops may also help teams to collaborate better and are tailored specifically for those who have no experience in theatre or acting.
Sessions
For Explorers and Students
If you want to dance with whatever life throws at you, then you would love improvisation theatre (improv, for short). Grad students would find these are great way to improve their professional skills. These group sessions are great if you want connect with the creative child within and let your imagination soar. You would create stories, invent new words, escape from dangerous situations and get gifts that only you could have imagined.
