Sculpting is a beautiful art form that takes hands on work. It is a great way of getting back in touch with mud and tools. In today’s digital world, we are often only touching cold metal. When was the last time you touched some warm mud or mushy soil? When was the last time you felt an unfamiliar texture? What are the textures you are familiar with? We are mostly touching cold, smooth and dry metals that shine. This is unnatural for us because we have stopped interacting with natural materials. Sculpting and pottery are ways to get back in touch with mud, earth and all things natural. That is why we at FLUX are curating and designing our very own sculpture classes in Bangalore Indiranagar for you! Read further…

Painting is a great way of expressing oneself. The reason a lot of agitation takes place today is because people don’t get the freedom or space to express. We at FLUX promote all kinds of expression and love. We also understand that many people are not good at expressing their thoughts aloud. They are better at expressing them through images or visuals. Painting is a great way of pondering on one’s own thoughts, mulling over them and layering them up constantly to reveal the reality inside one’s self. That is why we are soon starting painting classes in Bangalore for adults. These painting classes are great for a cosmopolitan city like Bangalore. Here adults are from different demographics and are exploring their belonging and grounding. And the kinds of stress and pressure adults go through these days could definitely use some quiet time. All our facilitators are patient and they care a lot about how they teach and what they teach. This is what makes us the best painting classes in Ba...

FLUX is an arts community that is also an art and craft institute in itself. There are very few art spaces in Bangalore that offer certified courses in particular forms of art. FLUX believes in Art for Change and also that only through expression and conversation can one heal the world. That is why FLUX offers various art and craft courses like mandala art, fashion art, drawing classes, painting classes and other art workshops. There is a reason FLUX is situated in the heart of Bangalore. Many times our friends had asked our team members, “Where can I find drawing classes near me?” or “Where can I find painting classes near me?” These sorts of questions helped us understand the need and desire people have to be creative. This is exactly why and how the core members got together to create this art space. Read more…

Acting is a job that is very demanding and requires one to constantly put themselves in other people’s shoes. Therefore, we look at acting as a full time and a very serious profession. We think it requires constant exploration, vulnerability and vigor. Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute in Kolkata has always been a good example for us to follow. How much does experience matter in acting? How much does experience matter in life? Who is to decide which experience is good and which is bad? These are all questions that land in the grey area. As artists, actors and feelers we are constantly working towards becoming better at what we do. However, what if we suddenly discover a new excitement for an unfamiliar art  form? Or what if we were never involved in arts at all? Read further…

Pilates is a form of mindfulness. It is a workout that works on alignment of the body and core strengthening. It also helps you raise your awareness of the different body parts and muscle groups in your body. How often do you stand still? How often do you slow down? Is it easy to slow down and concentrate in the busy city life? Are you able to pay attention to one thing? How is your mind doing? How is your body doing? All of these questions are very inter-related even if they don’t seem to be. This is why we at FLUX are encouraging Pilates. Keep reading…

Hatha yoga is the art of physical fitness that works on your body, mind and soul all together and thus brings in balance. We often don’t realize how off-balance we are as humanity. Also we rarely find ourselves feeling satisfied, happy and excited. This is because we are always running. We need to stop, pause and learn to be okay in a state of nothingness. We have to force ourselves to learn being in this state to bring back stability in our lives. Hatha yoga is just designed for this. It is a forceful form of yoga that works with many other different forms to bring about better posture, strength, flexibility and balance. It includes performing certain yoga poses and staying in them while the sweat flows down your body. Hence, it is also a great way of working out and a great way of feeling calmer. After a hatha yoga class, everyone feels much lighter and calmer. It’s because the blood flow improves all across the body, covering even the most ignored and inactive parts of it. This is...

Aerial yoga was invented by Christopher Harrison, a gymnast and a Broadway choreographer. He made it an interesting combination of yoga, Pilates, dance, gymnastics, calisthenics and aerial acrobatics. Unlike traditional yoga, you don’t do aerial yoga on the floor but in the air a few feet above the ground in a hammock specially designed for the purpose hanging down from a hook in the ceiling. Not to worry, it can easily bear the weight of even the fattest man on earth! You can raise or lower the height of the hammock according to your preferences. In fact it acts like a swing completely supporting your body. You can also move forward or backward as required by the yoga pose you decide to do on the hammock. You will be surprised to note that the hammock makes even the most difficult postures to perform on floor much easier to do on a hammock. Moreover the swinging quality of the hammock encourages you to add your own innovative varieties to them. And since you have to hold up your wei...

We use our voices all the time to communicate. Communication is the basis of conversation. Without conversation we cannot really make sense of one another or of the world around us. One of the most common ways of communication and conversation is through speech and talking. We are constantly using our voice to get and give information or tell one another our thoughts and desires. Voice modulation is the art of working on the pitch and tempo of the voice to inform people of a certain piece of information or a certain mood or feeling with clarity. It is a very unique art field that can help the audience understand the information or the sentiment of the dialogue. This is full of intention and works on better enunciation skills so the words can be heard clearly and with no apprehension or doubt. Doubt or mixed up dialogues are hardly ever an intention in film or audio work unless it is a sort of experimental film or music making experiment, which involves a lot more layers of post product...

Script writing is a very meticulous art form that involves understanding many technical things like form, character, plot, structure, story, emotional graph, beat, rhythm etc.It involves a great deal of reading and watching.  What is the most selling genre of all time? It is drama. This is because drama has a feeling based structure of storytelling that makes the heart race or fall. It makes one feel elevated or really down too. Script writing classes are a great way of understanding life as you start noticing different people and think about how they deal with life. It is in a way also a documentary study of all the lives that exist around you. You do it by going deeper into how you think people will act and react to different situations. Inspiration from reality is a great way of studying character development for script writing. Read further…

1. What does it take to be a director? 2. How is a theatre director different from a film director? 3. What are the principles of direction and what are the rules of direction? 4. Are there any rules? 5. What about ethical and moral rules? A director clearly has a lot of power to make important decisions. But that also invests the idea of responsible and ethical decision making on the director. At FLUX, we offer theatre direction classes. These are not only process driven but also take into account theoretical and ethical direction. As an actor, the actor entrusts the director with him or herself. Thus it becomes the director’s responsibility to choreograph the piece and the people with love and care. Many directors can easily look at actors as resources. They just forget they are human beings who feel and get affected by their role. At FLUX, we also make sure that we train our budding directors into responsible and caring people first. They must learn how to manage power dynam...

Do you know what acting really means and what all it entails? Acting actually means impersonating someone in order to narrate one’s story through adopting her or his character. Character of a person includes his or her expression, mannerism, body posture, gait, aspirations, actions, interactions, likes, dislikes and above all one’s worldview. Can you adopt someone’s character for a while in order to narrate his or her story? It requires a high degree of imagination. It also requires physical and emotional expression. You also need to project your voice with a high degree of clarity. And you need to do it along with adopting all kinds of modulations in it. In fact, you should be able to emulate various different dialects and accents. An actor should also be trained to improvise various different situations without rehearsals done for the same. A full-fledged acting training also includes singing, auditioning and physical agility. Read more…

Dance is one of the oldest forms of art in the world. From as far back, as archaeologists tell, dancing has always been a part of celebration and ritual in all cultures. Ancient sub-Saharan African dances were used to celebrate births, to reinforce certain values, and for fun. In Latin America, dance is deeply ingrained in the culture and everyday life. Indian classical dances draw on ancient motives that are still used in dance today. The Middle East is famous for dances in which participants usually link arms. People travel to Turkey just to see the famous whirling dervish dances. When we look to the Western world, we see many folk dances. The influence that the French dance form of ballet has had cannot be understated. Dance was polite and refined in the renaissance era. But as we moved into more modern times, different forms were born. Dancers also made new adjustments and movements to their old routines. Modern dance was born in the United States in the late 19th century and early...

Children love to move. When you have a squirming child in your lap at a restaurant, it can be annoying. But the truth is when we get old we don’t have that energy and that flexibility. The flexibility it takes to wiggle out of your mom’s lap so you can run around the restaurant yelling as loud as you can. Or playing, or dancing or else doing anything that is fun! And while we can admire and envy the energy, it does need an outlet. Starting dance at a young age can awaken a passion in a child that can last a lifetime. It can be their eternal hobby, or even their profession later in life! Who knows what future has in store for them? It can be something they just enjoy. It doesn’t matter what it turns them into – because that is all their choice. Read further…

Contemporary dance actually borrows a lot from Yoga. Our indo contemporary dance classes will concentrate on the following things: ·          Technique ·          Feeling ·          Rhythm ·          Flexibility Let us explore a bit more of each of these terms. Technique In fact contemporary dance takes a lot from organic ways of movement including floor work, release and spine movement. Feeling Bollywood music is made with feeling and we at FLUX love to feel. We also have a very simple rule to follow. If you feel it, just do it. If you don’t, let it go. Therefore, even our pieces of choreography and classes work on the idea of feeling. And we feel not only our emotions but also our body.

This can inform what you are going through or even simple questions like how your day was. These simple questions really matter. In fact they are a great reflectio...
