Abstract
This paper critically explores the convergence of Natyasastra and Artificial Intelligence (AI) within Indian Theatre Arts education. It investigates how neural networks, immersive simulations, and algorithmic dramaturgy are transforming pedagogical methodologies, performative cognition and aesthetic praxis. This study foregrounds hybrid epistemologies that synthesize indigenous theatrical traditions with technologically mediated learning paradigms and augmented creative expression.
