The Society also welcomes topics regarding works of non-Bulgarian authors. Different authors and texts are discussed when the themes are suggested by members of the club. These are viewed with regard to historical, political and cultural contexts in Bulgaria from different periods and in parallel with larger European cultural movements. The Society for Poetry and Literature discusses themes and ideas mainly from the world of Bulgarian literature.

In the past, the workshop has functioned as an ongoing project concentrated around major Bulgarian holidays like Surva, Koleda and baba Marta, and visiting the Bulgarian School in Seattle. Tvorilnitsa – Traditional Arts and Crafts Workshop As part of the BCHCS program for Bulgarian Folklore Arts, “Tvorilnitsa” weaves the connective tissue in the colorful tapestry of the program and the community through arts and crafts. In December 2014, along with the Bulgarian Voices of Seattle Women’s Choir and Medena Pitka Children Folklore Group, we performed before the Bulgarian community in Vancouver BC, where 100+ participants from Seattle traveled to perform in our mutual Christmas performance. The excitement generated by this teamwork became the foundation for our later activities.Performances This idea was initially introduced to the Bulgarian community after receiving a 4Culture grant for our “Together for Christmas” Bulgarian Show at Kirkland Performance Center in December 2013. We take joy in bringing back to life old traditional Bulgarian songs and dances, among which Koledarski pesni and Koledarski Yambolski Buenek, performed by our men. Later Seattle Cheta began rehearsing every Friday at Exit Space School of Dance. Group members are Bulgarians who initially attended the weekly adult folk dance workshop “Rabotilnitsata” - one of the BCHCS’ programs established in January 2014 that meets every Saturday. The name is a combination of “seattlecheta” – people from Seattle and “Seattle Cheta” – a band with connotation to the heroic Bulgarian Enlightenment. The performance group SEATTLE CHETA at the BCHCS was established in April, 2014 for participation in the Verea Bulgarian Folk Festival in Chicago.
