Collaborative Canvas Edition 3 is officially coming to Bothell!

Get ready to experience three groundbreaking segments that push the boundaries of dance and theater!

Kathak & Flamenco: Watch the lightning-fast footwork of Northern India meet the fiery passion of Spanish Flamenco in a breathtaking dialogue of long-lost rhythmic cousins.

Bharatanatyam vs. West African: An explosive, high-energy celebration where the geometric precision of Indian classical dance collides beautifully with the raw, earthy power of West African movement.

The Alchemy of Separation: A deeply moving, theater-style drama that uses expressive dance, soulful live vocals, and the thunderous beats of the Chenda drum to navigate the universal journey of divorce, heartbreak, and healing.

Seattle folks! Come and join us to witness this talented set of artists showcase their creativity and art!

A massive shoutout to the Nishabda team! 🙌✨

What started as a modest 15-minute segment in our House of Kala collaborative canvas has evolved into a full-scale production addressing the critical issue of gun violence.

When artists are given the resources and the platform to expand their work, the results can be transformative for the entire community. At House of Kala, "artist support" isn't just a buzzword—it’s about providing the space and the canvas for stories that need to be told. Julie Antony took that space and ran with it, creating something urgent, moving, and vital.

Congratulations to the entire Nishabda team for their dedication and for turning a moment into a movement.

We are so proud to have played a part in this evolution.

Congratulations Julie Antony!!
