Dear Residents,

October has (almost) arrived, bringing with it fairy lights and the sweet smell of incense. The air feels softer, the evenings calmer, and the world a little kinder.

At Red House, it is the time to announce our upcoming classes for this joyous time. This month, we invite you to two gentle journeys: one with pencil and paper, the other with rhythm and breath.

🎨 The Elements of Drawing

With Arjun Shivaji Jain | Online

More than drawing classes, these sessions teach you a new way of seeing the world. Through John Ruskin’s lessons, we’ll slow down, trace line and shadow, explore shape and light, and practice exercises that sharpen observation and build visual sensitivity. By the end of each session, you’ll have sketches you can actually use and build on, developing both skill and confidence.

These Elements of Drawing classes will operate under the guidance of Arjun Shivaji Jain, Director of Red House, graduate of Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London, and former Young Companions' Representative of the Guild of St George, a charity in Sheffield established in 1871 by John Ruskin himself.

The classes are completely beginner friendly.

When: 4th October, 11th October, 18th October and 25th October, 2025
Time: 9.30am to 11am
Where: Online (Google Meet)

💃 Don’t Think. Dance! (NEW)

With Alankrita Mallick | In-person at Red House

What if dance wasn’t about performance, but about freedom? These sessions are for anyone who feels shy, awkward, or unsure of rhythm. You’ll explore body awareness, breath work, simple movement patterns, and playful improvisation which will help you move with confidence and feel at home in your own body.

These 'Don't Think! Dance!' classes will operate under the guidance of Alankrita Mallick, a passionate and versatile dancer with over 10 years of experience in various dance styles including ballet, contemporary, jazz, heels, and dancehall. Skilled in both stage and camera work, she has experience in live performances, commercial projects, and music/video shoots. She is currently expanding her movement practice through 'Animal Flow' and yoga to enhance body awareness, strength, and holistic performance.

The classes are completely beginner friendly. Attendees can sign up for 1, 2, 3, or all 4 classes at a time.

When: 4th October, 11th October, 18th October and 25th October, 2025
Time: 12.30pm to 2pm
Where: Red House, B203, Okhla-1, Delhi

A Moment of Enchantment
On 14th September, Red House’s online adda became a circle of voices exploring enchantment — in love, art, nature, and the ordinary. For a few magical hours, we were reminded that wonder isn’t a luxury; it’s what makes us feel truly alive. Watch the reel here.

Hope to meet you again soon,
