R U an exotic invasive species ?? (2026) : mini- Exhibition / Workshop Restitution [FR en bas] Following the workshop "r u an exotic invasive species ??" at @barazani.berlin, an Open Studio brought together the pieces developed collectively by the participants. Through letters, texts, videos, performances & installations, these works emerged from sensitive & poetic encounters between personal & family histories of migration from the global south to the global north , the stories of so-called "exotic invasive species", and the city of Berlin. The mini-exhibition continued to inhabit @barazani.berlin ’s space for a week, from October 19 to 26, 2026. Alongside the participating artists, I also explored ways of bringing these works into dialogue through a shared process of curating & collective reflection. I’m very happy & proud to see this research take shape through the participants’ own perspectives, gestures & narratives. A huge tkx to everyone who took part and shared so much sensitivity & intimacy @epifanio_caray @ademeomi @genesis___victoria @manaltass @karmel_pines @batardfrontal @noastorrsgokul @colleen_ndemeh @felipefizkal @juanadelamar and to @barazani.berlin team for ur generous welcome ❤️‍🩹 Keep beeing exotic & invasive🦜 💋 🇫🇷 r u an exotic invasive species ??

„None of these projects actually ask dance to solve political problems. Instead, choreography creates space to rehearse political capacities: listening, trusting, witnessing, grieving, resting, risking, imagining, negotiating, and remaining in relation.” We invite you to head to @danceartjournal website to read @soldierette’s reflections on LCDS’s MA Dance Participation, Communities, Activism online symposium, Future Bodies: Dancing Towards Repair. The research projects were presented by this year’s graduating cohort: Avni Sethi, Eve Dent, Sujeong Seok, Becca Townsley, Iona Hannagan Lewis, Manal Tass, Rhiannon Colvin, Fernanda González, Sádé Budhlall, Silva Laukkanen, Melissa Gmuer de Mora, Hugo Peña, Bronwen Wilson Rashad and Lisa Mariko Gelley.

"r u an exotic invasive species ??" (2026) : Workshop / Artistic Research [FR en bas] As part of my ongoing artistic research, I developed « r u an exotic invasive species ?? » , a workshop exploring migration narratives through writing & movement. Hosted at @barazani.berlin , it brought together ppl with personal or family histories of migration and exile from the global south to Europe. During the wrkshp, participants each chose an individual from a so-called "exotic invasive species" 🦜and established a sensitive, poetic dialogue with her, connecting her story to their own personal histories. These encounters became letters, installations, performances, texts, videos, and other forms. I’m very happy to finally see this project come to life. It feels meaningful to me as a continuation of a long path of research in science & ecology, from my reaserch & studies at the Faculty of Sciences in Oran 🇩🇿 then later at @umontpellier 🇫🇷, into my current artistic practice at @esbanimes . A huge THANK U to all the participants for the sensitivity, trust and intimacy u brought into the workshop, to @colleen_ndemeh for ur generous welcome and the delicious dinner u prepared for us . Tkx @alexandretakuyakato for the support & discussion since the beginning 💗 🇫🇷 "r u an exotic invasive species ??"

Our second Future Bodies symposium centres our second graduating cohort who present their research projects. The Curatorial Team, who lead the course, host the event and invite the third cohort, academics, and artists from around the world to participate in a deep engagement. From preventing burn out in activist practices in the UK, to feminist cartographies in Chile, to diasporic dances in Canada and the Caribbean, the diversity of praxis is celebrated in this event. Come join us for an hour, or persist with us over thirteen, as we move towards repair.

- On peut coexister avec n’importe qui, mais comment cohabiter avec tout le monde ? - Quel partage de valeurs est nécessaire pour rendre une cohabitation possible ? - La seule connaissance de l’autre suffit-elle pour cohabiter ? - Reconnaitre l’altérité peut-il aboutir à une convergence productive, à une osmose permise par le contact interculturel ? - Comment définir et utiliser ces outils ? Le projet veut questionner la cohabitation et le partage, les artistes sont ainsi invitées à vivre sous le même toit et à échanger leurs pratiques et leurs savoir-faire tout en se questionnant sur « Le comment » cohabiter. Elles seront invitées à travailler aux interstices, dans les décalages, les débordements, aux croisements des cultures en mouvement. Elles impulseront une dynamique de coexistence à la fois vécue et traduite sur le plateau. Elles seront invitées aussi à développer un projet qui déjoue les positionnements figés pour aller vers des dynamiques évolutives, des dynamiques qui amorcent l’échange, la cohabitation et la régulation des corps et des esprits. Un projet inspiré notamment des questionnements soulevés par Khalid Zekri dans son ouvrage Modernités arabes, de la modernité à la globalisation.

L’arbre qui cache la forêt الشجرة لي خبّات غابة ✷ Manal Tass ✷ résidence création / 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗟𝗜𝗙 ✷ du 12/01 au 23/01 @manaltass Ce travail de recherche puise dans des expériences de résistance issues de la région SWANA, incarnées autant par des corps en performance que par des corps sociaux vivant la résistance au quotidien. Ce projet est né à la suite d’une fracture à la cheville, qui a imposé une pratique performative contrainte : un corps assis, soutenu par des béquilles. De cette limitation est née une écriture chorégraphique attentive au détail, à ce qui déplace le regard — comment la présence d’un corps non conforme, ou d’un petit groupe, peut troubler l’ordre d’un espace public ou d’un contexte plus large. Durant cette résidence, le solo se déploie en vue d’un partage public le vendredi 23 janvier 2026 à La Bellone, et s’inscrit dans une dynamique de rencontres avec la scène artistique et de recherche bruxelloise, notamment issue de la région SWANA. ✷ Manal Tass est interprète en danse, chorégraphe et facilitatrice en danse et en mouvement basée à Bouznika au Maroc. Passionnée par le lien, son travail vise à rendre la pratique artistique du corps plus inclusive, en particulier pour des corps souvent marginalisés. À travers une approche contemporaine, sa recherche explore le mouvement comme espace de guérison collective et de transformation politique et spirituelle.  Ses projets — Koboul قُبول, Ab.Normal ماشي عادي, They هُمْنَ — sont à l’intersection de la création et de processus d’expérimentations collectives en ateliers. En parallèle de sa pratique artistique, Manal s’engage dans la réflexion et la pratique de l’autodéfense queer féministe. ✷ Manal est lauréate de Taklif, plateforme pour les jeunes artistes marocains organisée par le Festival « 𝗢𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲 » en mars 2025 @onmarchemarrakech ✷ 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 / 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 ✷ Le vendredi 23 janvier à 16h dans Le Studio. Chorégraphie et performance :  Manal Tass 🔗 Mentoring et dramaturgie : Nedjma Hadj Benchelabi (Ad’Hoc Platform) @nedjmabrxl

SESSION 2 WITH YEAR 1 STUDENTS - INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS July 15th, Tuesday | 12.15-12.45 UK | 7.15 Santiago, Chile and Trinidad and Tobago, 12.15 Morocco, 13.15 Germany and Norway, 16.45 India, 18.15 Cambodia In the first year of the programme, students take part in a unique international collaboration that bridges geographies, cultures, and ways of moving. Each student engages with a community of practice in their own local context, while simultaneously collaborating with a peer and their community situated in a different country. Through remote co-creation and critical reflection, the first-year students investigate how digital collaboration can foster connection, amplify marginal voices, and spark new formulations of participation and activism. This online exhibition presents creative documentations of these collaborations. Each film captures the relationships, challenges, and discoveries that emerged during each collaborative process and holds within it a unique story—of coming together, of listening, of moving and making dance across difference. Session host: Mandeep Raikhy (India) and year 1 students
