Dancers For The World - Catherine Habasque - May 2015

Our Arts Correspondent Kevin Richmond talked to Catherine Habasque about Dancers For The World, a new organisation that helps people in areas of conflict through the means of dance. Catherine Habasque used to be a solo dancer at the Theater Basel; through the organisation, she is now launching her first project to bring dance to a town in Georgia. Three dancers of different generations will be heading there in autumn 2015 for almost three weeks. Dancers For The World are also starting a partnership with the Elisabethenkirche to host workshops and performances. International Dance Day on April 29th was part of this - a day on which members of the public were able to try out new dances such as hip hop, Indian, ballet and more.
