Ruby & Kevosh
How can the force of resilience strengthen the body – this power within? 17 young urban dancers share inspiring stories about courage and resilience.
Afterwards, the film ARTificial celebrates its premiere, which was created in 2024 as part of an artistic project by young dancers in the same cooperative community.
And because courage and resilience also require encounters, the artistic team invites you to a freestyle session afterwards.
Come and meet each other!
Ruby and Kevosh are dancers, choreographers and dance educators. While Ruby works with deep roots in HipHop culture, Kevosh is primarily rooted in the House Dance scene. Both bring different perspectives, experiences and artistic voices to the table – yet they share the same conviction: dance is more than movement. It is expression, identity, resistance and connection.
For ages 12 and up.
