From November 8 to 11, 2023, Lucy Fandel, Charo Foo Tai Wei and Heather Mah, three dancers who participated in the workshop Ancestral Memories in Dancing Bodies followed up on it by sharing their own approach, inspired by an exploration of their memories and creative process.

We gently encounter each dancer’s approach as they share the ancestral memories that shape them.
