Talent & Ideas : House Of WOW
Bandra is brimming with creative energies. It now has a place for them to thrive. House of
WOW’ (H.O.W) is a creative space that invites artists, dancers and storytellers to spend hours,
learn, build, create and innovate with Dance, Music, Yoga, Art and other forms of creativity. Wanting to promote everything at once, H.O.W. aims to instil the feeling of belongingness
across dance and fitness enthusiasts, and among creative storytellers to learn and share their common love for art. A synergetic platform for all artists, the creative studio hence derives its name
and brings the “wowness” of all artists together.
Why “H.O.W.”?
House Of Wow was a vision seen years ago by
the founder, but was waiting for the right space
with the right positivity and the right energy before we opened a creative and a performing arts
space such as this. The reason it is called the
House Of Wow was because we believed people
are most comfortable when they are at home in
their own space . We wanted fitness, dance and
art to be a comfortable space to be in and not
something which is rigorous or tiring, even if it is
you still feel at home and therefore we have
spent almost 4 months designing a space such as
this.
What have you got? Tell us about the
space.
The decor is fundamentally simple – the pastels, the fireplace in the studio – it all builds
the energy of the space. Apart from that, it is a
t echnically designed studio ideal for dance
especially the imported spring board foam
teak wooden flooring, the excellent sound
equipped space and of course, the very popular “HOW LIGHT OF POSITIVITY”.
The studio area is 780ft sq, and the whole
space at about 11ft sq which includes an office,
a washroom and a perfectly equipped pantry
area. We have only one studio and we don't
want this to be a commercial art hub. It's an
exclusive space with exclusive activities and
we wish to have only one activity in one hour.
What are your future plans? Will H.O.W
expand to other areas?
Expansion wasn't my primary intention behind the space . But yes expansion in terms of
thought and acceptability for different forms
of art that we offer is definitely a prime agenda. We want more and more contributors and
facilitators and experts promoting dance fitness and wellness. It should spread like a viral
fever to promote learning beyond anything
else. We also want to popularize the concept
of supper theatre, improv nights and salsa and
social nights as well. We have the suitable
sound and lighting, we’re just looking for the
right people!
