The world of performing arts is constantly evolving and dynamic,impacting our world in every sphere in unseen ways. A study of the performing arts therefore, must include linked expressions of individual, communal and societal identities. The ancient texts in Indian philosophy have integrated the context of performance within our collective identity. Across eight codified classical dance forms, two distinct streams of classical music, clearly etched definition of Natya(theatre), along with myriad folk, ritualistic and regional presentations, these forms emphasise the definition of Sangeetam as a combination of Dance, Music and Theatre, as defined in the Natyashatra.

At WUD, we believe that the confluence of the performing arts creates a microcosm of the universe and that the performing arts influence and are informed by, perception of culture, gender, politics and regionality. We believe that the Performing Arts professional must not only be an expert in the field of specialisation, but also a thorough generalist in terms of performance management, production, promotion and presentation. Towards this, our PA program includes a strong element of cultural management. We aim to fulfil the quest of a significant section of the youth of tomorrow, by offering them the opportunity to build a career in not only the entertainment industry – a prime ground for the performing arts- but also in the corporate and developmental world.
