Kalakshetra Guest Faculty Bharatanatyam Recruitment 2026

Kalakshetra Guest Faculty Bharatanatyam Recruitment 2026: Overview

Kalakshetra Foundation, Chennai, an Institution of National Importance and an autonomous body under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, is looking for Guest Faculty in Bharatanatyam for its Rukmini Devi College of Fine Arts (RDCFA). These are short contract teaching posts, not regular jobs: the first term is two months, and it may be extended if the college still needs you.

The essential qualification is a Post Diploma in Bharatanatyam from Kalakshetra itself, so this call is mainly for the foundation's own trained dancers who want to teach at the college where they studied.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Purely contractual: the application form makes you declare that the appointment is temporary and gives no claim to a regular post.
• Teaching load: you will teach anywhere from 14 to 40 hours a week, depending on the classes allotted to you.
• Pay depends on your load: the consolidated pay is fixed within the band based on your experience, subject and working hours.
• Health: you should be in good physical health, as the work involves regular dance practice and teaching.
• Experience check: your application is rejected if your experience certificate cannot be verified with the institution where you last worked.
• Relaxation: the competent authority at Kalakshetra can relax the criteria and terms for deserving candidates.

Application Submission Notes

Fill the Annexure-I application form attached to the notice completely, add self-attested copies of your testimonials, and post it to The Director, Kalakshetra Foundation, Anna Street, Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai 600041. The last date is for receipt of the application, so post it early.

The form also asks how well you can speak, read and write Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, and why you think you suit the post. Only shortlisted candidates will be told the interview date and time later.
