We successfully produced our first event - EKA: A Tryst with the Divine, which featured a live music ensemble of talented musicians to a full house. We performed the same at the SAIPAF 2015 and for the Curtain Raiser Event of the India Day Parade 2015 at the Indian Consulate. We have also been featured in the travelbarefeet series with Emmy Award winner Mickela Mallozzi which airs in Season 3 Spring 2016!
