The Performing Arts are the most essential constituents of India’s cultural identity. Yet professions in dance, music, drama, etc. are often underappreciated and termed ‘non-paying professions’, leading citizens to forget what indeed formulated our interconnected global identity. These artistic professions are frequently categorised as taboo or are looked down upon.

In recent years, we have resorted to old ways, forcing students with unfathomable brilliance and artistic abilities to choose occupations perceived as ideal, standard, and high-paying.

Without art, music, dance, theatre, and poetry, our world is only a vessel for corporate spending and extreme capitalism, where human life revolves around nothing but salaries and job descriptions. Unless there was something that could change that...unless there was a platform for students, teachers, and industry professionals to connect and destigmatise the notion of enrolling and investing in performing arts as a profession.
