The workshop was the first of a series of workshops to be conducted during the festival. It aimed at the importance of dealing with the selfand the mind for an actor. Bajaj Sir made the use of poetry, quotes, and dialogues in order to make complex concepts simpler for the participants. The Acting Workshop defined, for the participants, the very close relationship of metaphysics with the actor, the cosmic relations between emotions of the self and others, and how that is important for a performer. The actor needs to be in control of his/her conscience, physical movements,  and lastly be able to identify himself/herself with living and non-living beings. The workshop ended with two exercises aiming at vocal and physical control of an actor. It took the participants to basic, primal instincts of existence.
