I have been part of Swatantra family for a year and a half, and it has been a perfect blend of learning and fun. Under the guidance of brilliant teachers, Swatantra Theatre provides the first and the most important step for any aspiring artist.No only acting, they cover all the aspects, technical/theoretical and practical, which go hand in hand and are equally important for any aspiring actor, like back stage, lights, music, creative writing, handling/making props and many more. They are completely dedicated towards art and the artist which makes them the best.Welcome to the A, B C of Theatre Art........

This place is heaven for all the artists. The environment is very cultured and positive. The team is very dedicated, hardworking and passionate. If you want to become a fine actor and a fine person ,this place is for you. This team works every single day. This place brings out the best in you.

Every single artist who connects with Swatantra calls it home. Swatantra is our family. I feel really grateful to have come across Swatantra. Will be forever indebted to Abhijeet Sir, Yuvraj Sir and Dhanashree maam for creating this heaven for crazy dreamers.स्वतंत्र हर कलाकार के लिए स्वर्ग है!#proudstudent

Good, Wonderfull, Nice, are not the word for Swatantra theatre it is beyond imagination. Real Actor, artist are made here. I too have experienced and heard from many actors that, they come with their expectations but they get more. 2 plays (productions) every month is not a joke, no any Institute can do it. I have many many many things to talk even i cannot stop. In swatantra not only Acting is taught but also how to be a good human being.

I have visited alot of places that assured me - they can teach anyone the craft of acting in the shortest time possible (for a handsome fee, obviously) BUT swatantra theatre, on the other hand, has been a reality check for alot of the students who sign up for it.. if you believe that you genuinly want to act - you can enroll in the courses available, the rest shall be handled by the dynamics of the theatre it self.. Ive seen countless students who come with a vague idea of the craft and are not willing to get committed to it.. they eventually cant deal with the passion swatantra builds up within you and get an insight about what they really want to achieve in life.Swatantra is a 360° learning circle, it not only polishes your acting ability but its one of those places that brings out the writer within you, it insists on making you an avid reader (were high on literature) , gives birth to your direction skills, makes you design sketches/plays , teaches you interpersonal management, speeds up your spontaneity, helps you build your voice, exposes you to the different aspects of theatre (lighting, set designing, music, costumes, etc) - all of this and much more with real time application and NOT just theory.. Students of Swatantra learn with a first hand experience along with the seniors and get opportunities to meet and interact with wonderul guest faculty, performers, veterans, etc.Well, theatre in itself is wholesome education that our current education system fails to acknowledge and the culture at swatantra makes sure to bring out the best within us.. Lastly, People who pass out of swatantra have a sharper personality, clearer goals and have quite a bag full of theoretical and practical knowlege to apply where-ever they wish to.All the best and I hope to see On- Stage (Well, backstage is no exception) , Cheers.

I will share my experience with Swatantra theatre from two perspectives.1. Children theatre: Both my daughters have been a part of the family for last three years, and collectively they have participated in 7 plays. It speaks about tenacity and stickiness :)Grooming: Children undergo one full month of training sessions which culminates into professional level production at the end of tenure. Children learn about culture, expression, speech, creativity, team working and multi-tasking (during rigorous training days :)).Location: Beautiful and serene environment of Shri Mahavir Jain Vidyalay at the centre of the city.Team: EK NUMBER. Abhijit Sir, Dhanashree and pool of talented mentors. Hats off to them - how they bring the best out of young children working tirelessly. They create such a happy, bonding and engaging environment, children never like to leave the place.2. Regular theatre: I have seen few of their productions such as Court Martial, Jis Lahore nahin dikhya..., Chekov. Impactful stories, dramatization and top-class acting. Dont miss Dhanashree Madam and her urde/punjabi ascent in the role of budhiyaa!! Absolute delight to watch. I am aware they do experimental cinemas too and thats on my next radar.

It has the most happening theater culture. The professors are very friendly in nature, very supportive and too creative in whatever they do. I have learnt the basics from here.On a personal level, it gives an extreme confidence boost-up, if someone having stage-fright, this is the place to be. The best place to improve your concentration, creativity and confidence.I had the most memorable time here.

They dont believe in making lucky actors here. They believe in making talented actors! Being said that you need a strong determination to get through their course because being a talented actor is not an easy deal. Take that first step & go for it!

If you are in search of a place that can teach you acting or help you make a career in this field or fulfill your hobby and if not the above but just be a better person then you have come to the right place.If there’s any place in the world that you really ought to be ,it is Swatantra Theatre.Swatantra will give you teachings,values,knowledge,friendship,opportunities and will teach you the lessons of life.Theatre for me is something that keeps you involved and it will turn you into a complete unique personality.

It is a very good theater doing exceptional work in Hindi in Pune. They have very powerful actors and the plays they do are of very good context.The main thing is they work all the time and do productions that are of good quailty. The actors of swatantra theater specially have very good voice art. Their forms of playback, street, poetry and story telling is exceptional. The work they are doing is creating a better world.

Swatantra theatre is only place in Pune where you can do hindi theatre . I have been a student here for past 1.5 years learning all aspects of theatre. The best part of being under the shed of Swatantra theatre is it has no problems of rehearsal space , coustmes and set . To add to that under the module of training it has been a constant effort from our directors that they do a minimum of a one full length production every month. Our theatre group also explores street theatre , physical theatre , mime community theatre , site specific theatre and play back theatre. It wouldn’t be wrong to quote that the amount of work opportunities I get here is equivalent to a national level institute .

Review №51

I am actively associated with the theater group for almost a year. The rigorous voice, body and mind exercises regularly, promise an exponential and steady growth. The mentors, Abhijeet Sir and Dhanashree mam, take noteworthy efforts to not only ensure ones on-stage growth but off-stage too. People with jobs are welcomed with consideration for timings yet not devoid of any opportunity. It is a remarkable learning environment covering all facets of acting, theoretically and practically. The theater group also undertakes a number of short film projects actively, under the name of Swatantra Films on YouTube (launched recently) ensuring constant exposure to lens and film ethics. Also, the theater group is lined with a plethora of external opportunities for acting, script-writing, direction, mentoring, singing and much more. Freedom of Ideas, Freedom of Learning, Freedom of Growth equals Swatantra Theater. 5 stars. :)

I am so glad to be a part of Swatantra theatre, and there is only reason behind this is my Gurus....Abhijeet sir and Dhanashree maam, I founded one of the best theatre in India because no one is doing this much of hard work with continuity, since I joined to till now....I learnt a lot about Acting, even I cant find that small small things on Google, as well as I have been the part of 4 play and also did mentoring for children production, did Mime act twice last but not the least I was also in 3 short film...This is amazing journey of only 4 months and 3 weeks. I can bet on this that no one can give you this much opportunity in this short time.Thank you Sir Thank you Maam

The lethal combo of PASSION n COMPASSION defines SWATANTRA THEATRE. 💕💕It is a life school in itself.🌞The kids workshop which started for 2 hours for 5 days a week for 4 weeks, has turned to 8 hours in a single day🤔. In this materialistic n so called professional world, YES! Swatantra exists...!!🌈When parents come to pick their kids at 9:30pm, I have not heard a child complaining of the long working tired day. But, an enthusiasm to ask their mentors, what time is the class tomorrow?. Kids from age group 5 to 16, under one roof, practicing from 2pm each day is the sheer dedication, unconditional love of the SWATANTRA TEAM!! Im sure after the 4th of June 2017, there will be a vacuum in every participating childs day schedule. I wont be wrong if I say we are addicted to Swatantra theatre. 🔥🔥Thank u DHANSHREE Maam, ABHIJEET Sir, all MENTORS and the whole TEAM of SWATANTRA (special mention Mr. YUVRAJ SHAH) for making this happen!!💐💐All the best for all future endeveours!! 💙👍🏻

Hi, I am accociated with Swatantra Theatre Group for over a year and I have learnt the core minorities of stage, acting and drama here. Our Gurus Abhijeet sir and Dhanashree mam always emphasize on doing a deep investigation and research of the character and go through the techniques of characterization and meditation in order to curve out the actual portrait of the character. Here I didnt only learn about acting but also improved my other skills like communication , stage facing and confidence.Swatantra Theatre has provided me a fresh and natural environment which taught me how to live the various dimensions of life and enjoy each and every moment out of it.

Its been a most progressive experience for me here. Swatantra has been like a home and people here are supportive and have always guided me for the better. Swatantra has taught me to explore the whole me. I feel more flexibility not just in my body but my mind as well. As an actor, one needs to be the most expressive of all and Swatantra has helped me to surface out those expressions from within me. I feel a change in my voice, my body, my mind. I believe that my personality has improved and its taking me where I should be. If anyone who wants to experience theatre or wants to make a carrier in acting, Swatantra is the first step you should take. I shows you the value of your dedication and hard work. Im guided by most talanted acting Gurus who believe in me, not just me but every actor here, and there belief helps us to believe in ourselves. I would love to thank Swatantra for making me a better version of myself and now I feel I will achieve what I came here for. Proud to be a Swatantra actor.
