Getting to the Heart of Acting and Painting with Nitin Ganatra

Published on: 10th May, 2021

Nitin Ganatra’s long and distinguished career in acting began after he graduated from the University of Bristol with a BA Honors in Drama, Film and Television and went on to study with experimental theatre maestro, the late Jerzy Grotowski. He has worked alongside some highly accomplished actors and directors such as Sam Mendes, Tim Burton, Ray Winstone, Richard Gere, Donald Sutherland and John Malkcovic. Currently balancing a film career alongside popular television shows, Nitin has also recently returned to the theatre, winning rave reviews for The End of the Pier and God’s Dice. 

Nitin shares some powerful insights for actors about body language and the ego. We talk about how hitch-hiking across Italy to work with Grotowski changed his life and how after an 18-year absence he has reconnected with his passion for painting and art.
