2017/ 2019 Collaboration with mobile dance – Jo ParKes dance company, Junction,

Collaboration with mobile dance in the context of flight, migration and asylum. Since 2017 I am part of the team of artists who leads on a weekly basis workshops in accommodation center for refugee in Berlin.The project combines the approaches of dance artists with specialist educators to support children and their families in coping with the repercussions of traumatic experiences, arriving in Berlin and managing their current challenging living situation.The focus is upon a trauma- and diversity-sensitive body training which activates inner resources, develops stamina and strength, and counters the effects of anxiety and stress through breathing and touch. Another important element is improvisation, supporting the participants to be in the “here and now”.Co-creative choreographic processes work with themes relevant to the young people to offer a place to investigate issues affecting them and to expand their own agency and creative potential.
