The Junoon Fellowship is a unique opportunity for students currently in secondary school to explore their artistic inclinations, passions and curiosities.

Centred on Classical Dance, the fellowship will have students discover the different Classical Arts - Performative, Fine and Literary - that are relevant to Dance and in doing so come to understand their own willingness and capacities for this variety of Art forms.

The idea is to communicate and convince that the Arts are as important a pursuit as any. That aspiring to a career in the Arts entails incredible commitment and limitless possibility, perspective and passion.

It prioritizes the athletic, dramatic and academic inclinations of the students as dancing is such a physical, expressive art form with its origins in ancient literature.

The Fellowship seeks to bring a passionate, willing and striving bunch of young artists together to hone their individual skills as well as converse, intellectualize and discover more about the art that resides within them and the art they would like to put out into the world.

This could culminate into a showcase. It could help them more firmly decide the course their careers could take if they so choose to be artists. And it could even simply help them aspire to professions or businesses that work closely with artists in order to inhabit a creative industry or environment going forward.

The Fellowship is about beginning a conversation and seeing where each student's Artistic inclinations can take them, individually and as a collective. And to do away with any apprehensions, lethargy or second guessing to do with pursuing the Arts - to debunk any perceptions of it being frivolous.

The Junoon Fellowship is an exploration of every route our students can take with the Classical Arts and a discovery of every ounce of potential they have in that direction.
