Structured to provide a unique balance of various Indian
physical traditions and aesthetics with contemporary dance and
new developments in lighting, stagecraft and digital
technology, the Diploma includes classes in critical theory
and arts management besides academic subjects like art
history, philosophy, pedagogy, and anatomy in the curriculum.
The Diploma prepares technically sound and strong
performers adept in varied movement approaches. Drawing upon
the conceptual tools of philosophy, aesthetics and art history
in an intellectually stimulating and supportive environment,
the programme encourages students to evolve into creative,
aware and thinking practitioners of the art of dance and
dance-making.
Attakkalari’s pioneering research over
the past years into Indian physical traditions and the wealth
of knowledge from its large pool of international artists is
enormously beneficial to the course. While a stipulated
minimum of technical prowess is ensured, students will be
encouraged to design their own study programme.
Besides the three-year full-fledged Diploma, students also
have the option of a one-year Certificate Course (the
Foundation Year), or short-term intensive modules on light
design, digital arts and arts management.
Reputed teachers of Indian physical traditions,
Contemporary Dance, Ballet and other movement techniques,
Choreographers and leading practitioners in the fields of
Digital & Sonic arts, Light & Set Design, Art History
and Critical theory comprise the regular and visiting faculty.
The fee per year is Rs 72,000/- for
Indian applicants and Euro 3000/- for
international applicants. For talented Indian students from
economically underprivileged backgrounds, Attakkalari offers
limited scholarships.
