Artemis’ Embrace
2023-2024
With this new project, Kinesis Dance somatheatro wants to celebrate the strength, the courage and the determination it takes to embrace our unique identities, including the femininity we all have inside us. While utilizing the power of movement as a path towards releasing generational, cultural and societal programming, this project aims at creating a choreography that will ultimately be revisited including community dancers, and publicly performed.
