An acting intensive in the Eric Morris System, informed by the Compassionate Inquiry of Gabor Maté.
Facilitated by Daminee Benny Basu - trained in both modalities that form the spine of this work 🌻
🔥 UNSTOPPABLE (May 10–23, 2026 | 10AM–3PM | Kolkata)
70+ hours of fierce, irreverent, ensemble-driven work.
When you’ve met your limits, we hand you the matchbox.
This is not a workshop about performance. This is where the act is stripped - and the artist is returned.
You’ll train in:
• The Eric Morris System of craft
• Instrumental work and sense memory
• The “Being” state and organic line connection
• Monologue craft and truthful delivery
• Ensemble scene work and collective creation
• Megapproaches and emotional range expansion
• Irreverence and risk on stage
• Impulse training and emotional accuracy
• Unlearning performative habits that block authenticity
• Building resilience under pressure
• Awareness–acceptance–articulation in real time
• Choice, obligation, and truthful response
• Capacity-building through embodied practice
‼️Careful ☠️
This work has a way of ruining shortcuts.
And once that happens, there’s no going back to pretending it works. Welcome Home! ✊🏽🌻❤️🔥

About the art, and (of course) the committed craft of breathing unapologetically through each conscious waking moment… our breakfast exchanges continue - nineteen and still counteen 😁👑✊🏽🫂 #dostam
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless; ‘Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved.
I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one; One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the inward; I know none other except ‘Yã Hú’ and ‘Yã man Hú.’
I am intoxicated with Love’s cup, the two worlds have passed out of my ken; I have no business save carouse and revelry.
[…] That except of drunkenness and revelry I have no tale to tell.
~ Rumi

And yet, and yet - to deny the succession of time, to deny the self, to deny the universe, are measures of outward despair and inner consolation. Our lot… is not terrible because it is unreal; it is terrible because it is irreversible. Time is the substance of which I am made. Time is a river that bears me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that ravages me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, alas, is real.
- Jorge Luis Borges, Borges and I
