In this multi‑speaker testimonial recorded during the 2023 summer workshop in Brest organized by Association IWA, participants discuss what contemporary African dance means to them, how it differs from traditional forms, and the social issues it can address. They describe the practice as a creative, author‑driven process that deconstructs tradition to question gender, identity, refugee experiences, and violence. The speakers share personal benefits such as joy, freedom, stress relief, emotional release, and a sense of bodily empowerment. They also highlight the pedagogical lineage of griots, the importance of community engagement, and the collaborative nature of the workshop. The discussion ends with enthusiasm for the workshop’s growth, noting past collaborations with Patrick and expressing a desire to reconvene in 2024.
