Message from
the Dean

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. Being enrolled with the faculty of performing arts means students will have the opportunity of working with some of the top experts ranging from movement studies, sound studies, actor training, queer and feminist theory, performance artists, experimental and traditional theatre, village elders, community leaders, shamans and so on, in the form of various lectures seminars and field visits. I take this opportunity to encourage students who love dance, music, and drama to take up performing arts professionally. Of all the identities I remain a practitioner first, a multi-disciplinary artist working at the intersection of dance, theatre, film, healing and I am delighted to welcome you to the vibrant world of performing arts created with love and care, here at Parul University.
