It helps actors and students become more aware of their surroundings and notice even the smallest details. Furthermore, it develops their sense memory data bank, enhances the power of imagination, and ultimately enables them to convincingly create and transform into a character from a script. Activities such as sound observation, animal observation, and observation of human behaviour in different situations have improved the observation and imagination skills of the students. Imagination, being a powerful brain-booster, allows individuals to think in unconventional ways. It can help in finding solutions and enables the creation of scenarios that effectively solve problems.
