MOVEMENT – Dance Convo Session at FNCC

As part of the Movement International Dance Festival, we recently hosted a Dance Convo Session at the FNCC, bringing together dance creatives from different backgrounds and contexts.

The conversation featured Nahilongweshipwe Mushaandja from UNAM (Namibia), Jérôme Brabant from L’Octogonale (Réunion Island/ France), Nadjani Bullin from Réunion Island and Philippe Talavera (OYO).

The conversation gave each artist a chance to speak about their work, experiences and the different spaces they have navigated as dance practitioners.

It was a great evening of honest conversation and getting to know more about the people behind the work.

Thank you to everyone who came through and made the evening special!
