Two awards for HIT 7AYT at Détours Festival 2022!

Since nearly three years, I live in Morocco. This year, I could realize one of my long envisioned projects: Creating a dance performance with local dance talents. Together with Yassine Alaoui Ismaili aka Yoriyas, we started our research on the performance HIT 7AYT in January 2022. In July, we had a two-week artistic residence in the frame of TRIPHAZE 2022 at the Uzine in Casablanca with a work-in-progress showing.

In September 2022 we continued our work with a one-week artistic residence at Centre Culturel Bruegel in Bruxelles in the frame of the Détours Festival. Within the work-in-progress showing, that was also a choreographic competition, we received 2 prizes for our creation!

The hiphop institution Lezarts Urbains and the research space Grand Studio picked us as favourite performance. Thank you for choosing us, we are looking forward to future collaborations!
