Collective work group "Souls in Motion" based on Dubai

Souls in Motion collective will develop  work during the 2 weeks stay in our residency.

"Theatre is ritual. We aim to build a poetic ritual comprised of 4 to 8 explorations of music, poetry, movement, language, art and rhythm. These explorations will be inspired by our collective and individual experiences as young adults of the “third culture”—born, raised, and living in countless cities across the world. Influenced by globalization, as well as tradition, we are souls in motion. We aim to highlight the resilience of the human spirit and speak straight to the soul. "
