From 1990 to 2012, his journey was a saga of evolution and unending search of himself as an acting trainer. Much happened during the 22-year long journey. 22 years withered the basic form. Institute got metamorphosed and nomenclature changed. Associates got disassociated. Partners parted ways. Colleagues drifted to tread a new path. Course altered as per changing times. Everything was refashioned and re calibrated in appearance, form, substance and character. This was the journey which willingly deviated from the norm and knowingly detoured from the beaten track. Everything was modified and embellished without changing the identity. And today, 25 years later, that Identity is known as Vidur-The Acting Trainer
.
His quest led him to every conceivable Acting Guru. From Bharat Muni to Stanislavsky, from Lee Strasberg to Stella Adler, from Jerzy Grotowski to Sanford Meisner, and from Harold Guskin to Viola Spolin, he culled and accumulated myriad things from everyone.

Students of cinema know about Constantin Stanislavsky and ” The System “( प्रणाली ). They also know about Lee Strasberg and “The Method” ( पद्धति ). But according to Vidur” The System and “The Method”, both are incomplete. If you want to create something, you have to have a system in place. But it could be a mere sketch on a piece of paper or a hazy, obfuscated outline in the dark corner of your mind. After establishing or inventing” The System”, you have to have a certain method in place to create your desired thing. But how would you follow “The Method ? There has to be a process. Unless and until vou follow the right process, vou won’t be able to create anything.
Therefore” The Process” [प्रक्रिया) of Vidur completes and complements the two earlier theories, “The System” of Stanislavsky and ” The Method” of Lee Strasberg.” The Process”, along with western theories of acting training, incorporates centuries old theories of Bharat Muni’s” Natya Shastra”. Thus” The Process” comes out as a complete acting course heralding orienta and occidental values and traditions. It is modern and western in approach and traditional and Indian in values.

While other acting schools take in large numbers of students in each batch, at RTSA the acting classes are limited in size, ensuring one to one interaction, promoting the individual development of every student. Coaching is directed to address individual problems for each student and ample importance is given to individuals to improve on their particular weaknesses in acting class.
Talent is something you already possess. A teacher can only groom it and blossom it or help you bring it out of yourself in acting classes. Many great actors have taken years to gain mastery over their art. It is only the dedication and discipline of an actor to learn and practice which will make him a good actor. 4 months would be the minimum amount of time required to groom an actor.
An Actor needs a platform to showcase his/her talent. We have tied up with leading Film+TV production houses and will provide all students with productive references. We will also forward our students to auditions all over.
