Performing Arts Education at FLAME

All the world’s a stage and we’re all playing a part, someone once famously said. Today, that part is getting more and more important. As time runs in dizzy circles, performing arts have acquired a meaning like never before. The rapidly evolving global economy demands a dynamic and creative workforce. The arts and its related businesses are responsible for billions in cultural exports for India. In fact, arts and performance are a country’s heritage and its greatest currency. The world needs people who think with the creative side of their brains—people who have played in a band, who have painted…it enhances symbiotic thinking capabilities, not always thinking in the same paradigm, learning how to kick-start a new idea, or how to get a job done better, less expensively. Only then are we prepared to play our parts better in this theater of dreams called the world.

FLAME School of Performing Arts has very specific objectives all of which are toward making FLAME an institute of excellence in the teaching and promotion of classical, folk and contemporary performing arts, through an interdisciplinary approach. We do this in an environment of trust and faith in order to encourage and nurture individual artistic expression. We aim to encourage innovation and opportunities that challenge the existing norms of teaching arts in India. While we teach Indian arts, we also strive to create affiliations and exchanges with institutions of global repute.

FLAME School of Performing Arts strives to encourage and facilitate innovation and learning in the fields of theatre, music and dance. We aim to do this by providing education, disseminating knowledge and promoting appreciation, through a unique pedagogy and interaction with the arts of other countries and collaborations with arts institutions the world over. Education in music, theater, dance, and the visual arts is one of the most creative ways we have to hone the students’ enthusiasm for life and spark their creativity and imaginations. We strive to provide training that prepares them to become confident young men and women. 

We not only participate but also create an annual program of arts events, festivals, conferences, seminars and tours. Apart from that, we organize workshops and outreach programs to benefit local communities. While we are focused on performing, we also believe in constantly being engaged in research programs in Performing Arts. With the help of all these, we are focused in our mission of developing practitioners and researchers who shape the future of performance across India and beyond.
