## Meet your expert

### My story

Hey, Courtyard Koota here. We didn’t just put up walls and call it a day. This place grew from a wild idea - a space for stories, art, and folks just wanting to connect. Natasha kicked things off, Sridevi keeps the vibe alive, Nanu’s our in-house everything-guy, and Khushi’s the glue. Seven years in, we’re still a mixed bag, always buzzing. We shape this space, and it shapes us. Makkala Masti for kids, open doors for all. Pull up a chair, there’s room.

### My work

- **Live Performances & Shows**: Music concerts (Carnatic, Folk, Contemporary), theatre, stand-up comedy, dance recitals, film screenings. Always something on.
- **Conversations & Folk Song Storytelling**: Book readings, author chats, talks on art, history, and folk song evenings like 'Lamkoi Wari Liba'.
- **Workshops & Organic Gardening Classes**: Hands-on workshops - gardening, Carnatic music, puzzle jams, nature walks, and our Local Food Club potlucks.
- **Art Exhibitions & Self-Portrait Workshops**: Rotating art shows, photography, and creative workshops like 'Naavu Idhivi' for self-portraits.
- **Community Celebrations**: Annual Open House with free workshops, storytelling, food, and open stage. Everyone’s invited.
