Independent Dance and Theatre Performance Space
We don’t just host performances; we build a stage for stories. From intimate dance recitals to thought-provoking theatre, our Kengeri venue brings artists and audiences closer together.
A video from the "Bahinabai" production, a beautiful performance woven through dance, music, and memory. It showcases Vaishnavi Dhore's mesmerizing movements as she tells the story of the farmer-poet.
The poster for "Bahinabai Chaudhari: The Soul of Soil." This Bharatanatyam production brought together a talented ensemble to celebrate the life and verses of the farmer-poet through an evocative tribute.
A glimpse of "Ākhyāna," a powerful dance performance exploring the theme of teacher and student. The video captures the energy and grace of the dancers on our indoor stage.
The poster for "Ākhyāna – The Teacher and the Taught," a group performance by Ramaa Venugopalan and her disciples. We celebrate legacy and the living spirit of dance through such productions.
A video from "Palti," a heartwarming play by the Jijji collective. The performance used simple storytelling and puppetry to explore themes of loss, grief, and the bond between grandparents and grandchildren.
The poster for "Palti," a play for children and adults alike. We provide a safe space for theatre that tackles sensitive subjects like grief with gentleness and interactivity.
The poster for "Kuchipudi Kathanam," a vibrant dance recital by Aishwarya Meenakshi. Our stage is a platform for artists to present both traditional and contemporary choreographies in classical dance forms.
About this collection
Our performance space isn't a sterile hall. It’s an intimate stage—16x12ft—designed so the audience feels every beat of the footwork and every nuance of the dialogue. Whether you are planning a classical dance recital or a new theatre production, you get a dedicated sound engineer and lighting setup, meaning you don't have to scramble for technical basics on show day.
A Space Built for Performers
When we designed our stage, we prioritized the connection between artist and audience. We know that in dance and theatre, the energy in the room is everything. That is why our Tarana Hall features exposed brick aesthetics and professional LED track lighting, creating an atmosphere that is both rustic and performance-ready. You aren't just renting a room; you are accessing a space that is already set up for live productions.
Technical Support That Works
We provide a turnkey experience so you can focus on your craft rather than logistics. Our standard show slot includes:
- Production Specs: An intimate 16x12ft stage with professional sound reinforcement (tops, monitors, mixers) and industry-standard Shure microphones.
- Technical Crew: You get a dedicated sound and light engineer who stays for your sound check and live show.
- Front-of-House: Our team handles gate management and ushering so your troupe can focus on getting into character.
Why Choose Koota?
We are a collective. We have hosted everything from classical Bharatanatyam and Odissi recitals to modern theatre plays like Girish Karnad's Wedding Album. We understand the grit required to put up a show, and we support you with promotion on our internal community groups and social media channels. We do not do cookie-cutter packages here. If you have a specific vision for your production, we are open to chatting and adapting to make it work. Our venue is a home for the independent artist, and we invite you to come see the space and talk about your next project.
