Kala
Collective
Kala Dance Collective is a not-for-profit arts organization creating frameworks of support for artists working within or in dialogue with South Asian classical practices. Our projects move fluidly between creation and performance, play and research, training and community-building.
PREP + PRACTICE
Prep + Practice is a free training series for intermediate and advanced Bharatanatyam dancers to come together and practice within a community setting in Toronto. Led by artist, teacher, and choreographer Atri Nundy, the program returns for its third year with a continued emphasis on technical foundations, stamina, and safe-dance practices.
Open to dancers from all banis, the sessions move through Prep: which consists of comprehensive warm-ups and form-focused exercises, and Practice: which focuses on exploratory adavu work and jati/sequence building.
