Attakkalari Inlaks Dance Studentship Scheme for the education of talented youth.
Attakkalari, in collaboration with The Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation is offering a Studnetship Program. Under this initiative, talented performing artists, particularly dance and movement artists, who wish to get comprehensive professional training of international standards, will get a rare opportunity to get a qualification from Attakkalari, India's leading contemporary dance institution. The Scheme aims to provide crucial support to dance artists who are talented, passionate and committed yet unable to pursue their dream due to financial constraints. Potential candidates who clear the auditions for Diploma Programme and seek the Attakkalari Inlaks Studentship will be scrutinised and assessed based on a predefined process.
This year, the Inlaks-Attakkalari Dance Studentship will be offered to TWO eligible candidates from India who are offered admission to the Attakkalari Diploma in Movement Arts and Pedagogy through the selection process.

CommunityHours@Attakkalari
Attakkalari welcomes all budding artists to use Attakkalari’s studio space for FREE at special community hours. With this new campaign, we aim to cultivate more affordable workspaces to ensure that artists continue to generate creative energy in communities.
