Talking dances is an artistic process being developed together with the artist Zandile Darko. During two residencies, we have been developing what we understand and find important regarding movement, which has been inspiring our instant compositions during the residencies.

We are currently working on a 2024 Europe Tour to further investigate this practice and its performative results.
Stay tuned to our agenda!
More information about performances, workshops, and publications to come soon.
Life happens outside of frames and we want you to witness life with us.
Live in space and time.
Live life. Live of living.
Like leaving frames to live life live. Alive. A life.
“Talking Dances” is about saying and doing at the same time. Definitions do not come first or after. They are as much alive as our bodies because thinking
and writing
and speaking happen
at the same time, in
composition with breathing
and with blood circulation
and with being a mom
and with having a side job
In the video below, you can see an example of how these two artists improvise together. Their openness with one another and with the audiences will be one of the methodological pillars of their new upcoming project.
