Collective Healing through Movement, Creation and Exploration

The workshop is an invitation to exchange our approaches to movement in relation to one another. Each participant is encouraged to bring their unique experiences and will be guided to create motion sequences which resonate with their true self, thus enriching the overall exploration. By sharing our journeys and blending our flows, we shape a vibrant and dynamic community of individuals committed to personal and collective transformation. During this immersive experience, participants will discover how dance can serve as a powerful tool on the path to healing the body, mind and soul.

Doriane is currently carrying out movement research into traditional African dances. This project aims to document and gather archives on the essence of dance so that ancestral knowledge remains in the collective memory over the generations and does not fall into oblivion. Her research is based on the perspective of the diaspora, seeking to strengthen ties with their cultural heritage. Thus, dancing is a path to reconnect with one’s roots and heal from the wounds of deracination. Doriane views the art of movement as a means of liberation from the pressures and expectations of an often-alienating system. She sees dancing as a fundamental tool for reclaiming one’s identity.
