Ramith Ramesh from Lokadharmi Gets Admission in ITI Singapore...

Congratulations and all the best to Ramith Ramesh Kalamandalam for getting admission to the prestigious Intercultural Theatre Institute(ITI), Singapore, to do the Professional Diploma in Intercultural Theatre (Acting).

It is a three year, full time, systematic training programme for professional actors. It is performer-centred, practice oriented training that emphasises intercultural work and original creation. It immerses students in traditional theatre forms of Asia (Kutiyattam, Beijing Opera, Japanese Noh Theatre and Wayang Wong from Indonesia) and juxtaposes these with intense interactions with Stanislavskian and post Stanislavskian actor training techniques.

Only 12 to 16 students are admitted per batch every year selected from all across the world, and we are proud that Ramith is one among them selected this year. Ramith is the second student from Lokadharmi, who got admission in ITI after Pooja Mohanraj who is there in the 1916 batch

Ramith had done his graduation from Kalamandalam in Kutiyattam before joining Lokadharmi. He has been in the repertory of Lokadharmi for the last one year and part of the play Karnnabharam by Bhasa. He has been member of the team Lokadharmi when Karnnabharam was staged in the National Festival of Classical plays at Ujjain and Indore organised by National School of Drama in July 2017.

Ramith has been awarded with the Natyasree award from Vysakhi Visakhapattanam this year.
