At Theatre Nisha’s The Primal Instinct, a physical workshop exploring the actor’s body, Shakthi Ramani, the trainer, has asked us to dramatise a situation. It is a difficult process, expressing an array of complex emotions through your body! And, that’s the purpose of the exercise; to develop a body vocabulary of one’s own. “There is a voice in your head that constantly warns you to not make a fool of yourself. When she says, “Give your body all the love that you need,” we break into giggles, but also stretch our muscles and arch our backs with a renewed love for our body.
