He envisioned that The Temple of Fine\nArts would be the place where any child could learn music and dance from\nteachers who understood the true source of creativity and inspiration, and\nwithout the burden of costly fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The institution quickly grew and within five years, it\nboasted of a student population of more than 800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students were taught Bharatanatyam, folk dances, semi\nclassical movements, and musical instruments such as mrdangam, veena, flute and\nharmonium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hundreds of students and graduates of the\ninstitution have gone on to achieve amazing things, many taking their craft to\ndizzying heights both locally and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Temple Of Fine Arts consistently stages numerous\naward-winning dance, drama and music performances each year. These works are\nchoreographed, directed and produced by the teachers, students and other\nmembers of the institution, and often with other local and international\ncollaborators too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1991, Swamiji mooted the idea of a multi storeyed\nbuilding that would enhance the mission of serving the community in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year 2008 marked the realisation of this dream &#8211; a\n5-storey building, complete with dance and music studios and performance hall,\ntogether with a library and other amenities, is now a reality. It promises to\nbe a permanent platform to educate and nurture artists and art enthusiasts for\ngenerations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For their continued and unwavering dedication to the\nenhancement and promotion of the arts &#8211; just for the love of it &#8211; The Temple of\nFine Arts is awarded the BOH Cameronian Lifetime Achievement Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Awards Ceremony for the 8<sup>th<\/sup> Annual BOH Cameronian Arts Awards took place on Sun, 18 April 2010 at 8pm, at the Emerald Room, Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~~~ <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong><em>First Published: 18.04.2010 on Kakiseni <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>dance Prize of RM1,000 Prize of RM1,000 Prize of RM1,000 Prize of RM1,000 Prize of RM1,000 Prize of RM1,000 Prize of RM1,000 Prize of RM1,000 ~ music Prize of RM1,000 sponsored by Alexis Bistro &amp; Wine Bar Prize of RM1,000 sponsored by Alexis Bistro &amp; Wine Bar Prize of RM1,000 sponsored by Alexis Bistro &amp; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":15,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,3536,3537,3568,3511,3535,3539],"tags":[503],"language":[7523],"writer":[7617],"class_list":["post-27258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-dance","category-music-2","category-musical","category-news","category-theatre","category-visual-arts","tag-boh-cameronian-arts-awards","language-english","writer-kakiseni"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27258"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39258,"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27258\/revisions\/39258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27258"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=27258"},{"taxonomy":"writer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myartmemoryproject.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/writer?post=27258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
