Due to its research into performance techniques over the last twenty years, Adishakti has evolved a pedagogical system of performance training, which a large number of performers from elsewhere seek to avail of. As Adishakti now has the infrastructure it can house such performers as well.

Adishakti also offers its space to artists from all parts of the world to come to live on its campus either to do their own work or to train with Adishakti. Adishakti also hosts Workshops by other organizations.

Adishakti's month long Winter Workshop in Decmber 2003 –January 2004, between a Noh performer from Japan, a Koodiyattam performer from Kerala and Adishakti, with observers and participants from different parts of the world and from different disciplines was the outcome of a long investigation by Adishakti into Breath { begun in 1987} as an instrument of performance expression. It was also the result of earlier explorations investigating the impact of inter regional, inter cultural and interdisciplinary dialogues in performance and was Adishakti's first such event on an international and national scale. It opened up further vistas into the following areas for all the collaborators involved:

Performance techniques. The investigation in the use of breath, voice, body movements, and music and of such components as narrative and poetry in Noh, Koodiyattam, Ottan Tullal and Adishakti's practice clearly stimulated all the collaborators who agreed that this sharing in technique and philosophy was going to contribute to their own performance praxis .

The nature of traditional art practice in Asia, {as both Noh and Koodiyattam are traditional forms } the need for it to evolve, its dialogue with the contemporary,{ Noh and Koodiyattam with Adishakti} and the need for greater self awareness in traditional performance practice, the need for a hybrid aesthetic in Asian Arts and the implications of globalization for all aesthetics.

The impact of an interdisciplinary input into the arts and the possibilities and advantages of admitting such inputs. Indeed the presence and contributions of persons from a variety of field besides those of the arts made this investigation sharper.
