Dance workshops in Kenya

Dance workshops for children and young adults in Kenya

January 2019: two of our ambassadors, Léonore Baulac and Dor Mamalia, gave a first Dance Summer Camp in Kenya. Have a look at their interview! They taught young students living in the impoverished area of Kibera, near Nairobi, who have been following the dance classes of our wonderful partner organization Anno’s Africa .

As we want our action to be sustainable, our ambassadors also teach to local dance instructors, giving “train the trainers” sessions.

We went back to Kibera in July this year to continue our action there supporting our partner Anno’s Africa.

Our ambassadors Ji-Min Hong, Yen-Ching Lin and Alexander Jones gave classes and two of them took part to the fundraising gala organized by our partner to build a new Arts Center for their young students living in the impoverised neighborhood of Kibera.

Here to see our ambassadors on stage.

Bring dance to children who are facing illness.

We partner with the Necker Hospital (Paris), where we have held four events until this date. Dancers perform for and meet with young patients and their parents thanks to the cultural events team of the hospital, “Espace Plein Ciel“. Here below a group of artists from Taiwan, Yen-Ching Lin, I-Fen Tung, Hung Wei Yao and Rina B. Tsou during the first event in July 2018.

Here below few pictures of our second event that took place in September with Léonore Baulac and Hugo Marchand of the Paris Opéra Ballet. The evening left children and their families (end the lovely hospital staff) with stars in the eyes!

Our fourth event at the Necker hospital took place in May. Have a look at the beautiful film that came out of the event thanks to the wonderful Jérome Sivien!

Meaningful partnership with a brand with a heart

October 2018: We launched a collaboration with the fair trade brand SeeMe that employs women who are victims of domestic violence. During the whole month, any piece of jewellery bought helped us, as 20% of the sales went to WDCD!

Events

Exhibition

In collaboration with the Royal Danish Theater , our first photography- and text-based exhibition took place in Copenhagen (May 12, 2018 for a month in the department store Magasin). This exhibition was made possible by the sponsorship of The Royal Danish Theater and Magasin du Nord.

The Project also was the guest of a production on the topic of « What Dance Can Do » (19th of May and 5th of June 2018) on the old stage of the Royal Danish Theater with a talk by Aurélia Sellier and a performance by Ahmad Joudeh.
