Ecole des Sables 2024

In 2024 Alexandra joined the third module “Where are the works of black creators?” of the Afrique Diaspora Training at Ecole des Sables. This is a 10-week training for young professional dancers and creators from the continent and its diaspora. The international centre for traditional and contemporary African dance invited different teachers/creators to share their repertoire and working methods with the group. Alexandra was challenged to retrace her path of becoming a dance artists whilst deepening connections with artists from the continent and their works. It was also a chance to focus on her physical training, to be in nature and start a new creation proces. 

"Every movement is like a whole world, but how do we move from one into another world? Maybe a movement is like a day, that changes through the night. Transitioning like the sun, into the next day, the next movement, the next world.

Being an artists brought us here. Together as trees we create a forest, as our roots are holding hands wherever we are.

Until our sun’s rays shine on each other again."

This journey was supported by Het Cultuurfonds.
