RESEARCH
 

Research activities are conducted under the following departments:

  

Resource Centre for Training Methodology and Dance Technique and Documentation Centre.

 

The Resource Centre conducts research and studies for pedagogical development in Indian classical dance.

It undertakes documentation and codification of the teaching methods and choreographic principles employed by traditional gurus and conducts seminars and workshops to develop analytical tools and advanced understanding in technical and theoretical aspects of dance with the aim of adopting the traditional system of training to the requirements of today’s dance academics.

Audio visual and textual materials generated by the resource Centre contribute to the building up archives to provide dance trainees and performance scholars with an academic reference point.

DEPARTMENT OF MOHINI ATTAM
This dance style was almost forgotten at the turn of the 20th century. Dr. kanak Rele and Nalanda. have played a very significant role in not only rehabilitating this dance style but, more importantly, in creating technically sound courses of study for beginners as well at the University level, Today at Nalanda Mohini Attam is taught in the same scientific method as the other better established dance style. The activities are conducted under the guidance of the Board of Advisors comprising of leading scholars and experts.
