Finding Order in Disorder Foundation is an organization and arts collective that extrapolates our founder, Ishaa Vinod Chopra’s lived experiences in mental health. It applies to education, mental health advocacy and multidisciplinary arts.

The aim is to foster empathy, positivity, and self-awareness while sparking mental health discussions in safe spaces to make space for stigmatized, silenced and suppressed narratives of BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and marginalized communities. Being Inclusive is not merely a checkmark for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility as a formality but a core value that our non-profit deeply values.

The use of Therapeutic Dance and Community Arts Engagement for healing and expression by infusing Latin, Indian Classical, and Folk dance will be used as coping mechanism for mental well-being, to foster a sense of community in a safe space for healing, communing, belonging, expression, well-being and engagement.
