Dancing Heartbeats by Lisa Wagner showcases a time in the life of bgirl Jilou, bgirl Viola and myself.
We shot the documentation between 2020 and 2021; in Mexico, Germany, Morocco and more countries - it gives an insight to our work and life with dance, the hights and downs, hopes and realities of beeing a dancer.
My lecture at the Symposium "Breaking & Olympia" at the German Sport University Cologne (09.03.2024) is now online on Youtube (it's in German language)!
The project T’HARKAT conducts practical artistic research on the questions how female dancers can appropriate the public space in a Moroccan city by dancing, as well as questioning the male connotation in urban dances such as Breaking.
“T’HARKAT” is Darija, the Moroccan dialect, and refers to us,
dancers and women, walking or moving/dancing in public space. It
translates as “she moved“.
T‘HARKAT started in summer 2022 and
had its finalization in autumn 2023. The final output - a artistic video
documentary - is in the working! Here, you can enjoy the Teaser.
