Achintya Bose

Reluctant Actor - but in love with the process that his director Sooni Taraporevala introduced him to! Had trained in Hindustani Classical Vocal Music & the Tabla in early childhood. Picked up Hip Hop in early school days and spent his school break time cyphering with a bunch of other self taught kids like him! Formal training in Dance started with a brief Summer Workshop in 2016 at The Danceworx. He was hooked to the Jazz and Urban forms that were taught there. And regular classes began. It was during the Danceworx Annual Showcase that Sooni Taraporevala first saw him. She was scouting around for someone to play Amir and Achintya's ballet master at Ashley Lobo's academy Danceworx - Yehuda Ma'or suggested that she check him out in the show. She loved him. Her casting director Tess Joseph auditioned him. And then he was on! She calls Achintya her "Miracle Boy" - something that he holds very dear to his heart! The film got him to train for 6 'Danceful' months and then perform to the choreography of some of the best - Cindy Jourdain for Ballet, Vitthal Patil for B Boying and Shiamak Davar for Bollywood Dancing! Ultimate DREAM - is to Dance, to choreograph, to be on Broadway with a piece he has choreographed. To train, to have a dancer's life with a dancer's rigour & strive for great technique... & to perform those forms & with those fantastic artists that he finds resonance with... Passion on the SIDE - Football.. Can't Bend it like Beckham! But can do a mean thing or two ! Random Thoughts - *Dance has been Special. It is a portal of letting go, a portal of expression and a portal of self discovery through varied portrayals.* *Acting is like that accidental breeze that wafted in.. stirred up everything... Nothing was the same anymore! Nothing would be the same again! And guess what? It could only by fun.. to be out of your comfort zone.. to experiment.. to find a new language to express oneself in! * Vis kilde på IMDb
