My Dance is Not a Hobby by Newton Moraes “Dance is far more than a hobby for me—it’s a profound expression of my identity, personal journey, and deep connection to the world around me, informed by African Brazilian Spirituality and the love of those who shaped my path. At 63, I embrace dance as a powerful medium to explore my LGBTQ identity, navigate my struggles, and celebrate life’s transformative experiences, honoring both my past and present. Guided by legendary mentors and fueled by the unwavering love of my partner, my solo performances honor resilience, connection, and the transformative power of dance.” – Newton Moraes Sand Body by Meryem Alaoui “I see you. You see me. We see objects and their shapes; the marks and traces of the object.We listen, make decisions and feel our surroundings. Perhaps we also feel the spaces betweenus. We share a sonic, visual and textural experience, together, for a few moments here and now.” – Meryem Alaoui Getting to the ImprovLab ImprovLab is located at:
