Kcalpana Kala Kendra

You can find us at Sector 11, L 101. It’s a regular building where we do a lot of art and music. People bring their kids here after school. It gets pretty loud with all the instruments and the dancing feet on the floor. We don't have a big fancy lobby. It’s mostly just rooms with mats and mirrors. Some days there is paint on the floor that we can't quite get up. That’s just how an art place is supposed to look, I guess. We've been here in this spot for a while now. The neighbors know us by the sound of the drums. We try to keep things organized but with so many students, it gets a bit messy by the evening. We don’t use any big words to describe what we do. People come, they learn a dance or a song, and then they go home. It’s a simple way to spend an afternoon. The hallway is usually full of shoes because everyone takes them off at the door. We have some old posters on the walls. The lights flicker a bit in the back room but we're used to it. It’s a community spot where everyone knows each other. No one wears fancy suits here. We just wear what’s comfortable for moving around and making things. It is just our little corner for being creative in the middle of the sector.
