Performing arts has a wide range of pursuits in diverse ways. In expression it remains real and in the embodied approaches it becomes a search for truth of existence. It requires abandonment and also taking a position and in that act of being either, it is much more than an art, more than the purpose of entertainment and while it is an integral part of the human race, its beauty lies in its intangibility and power to drive change. As a faculty our aim is to provide theoretical support to prevailing dance, theatre and music practices with state of the art facilities including a dance room, a concert room and much more.
