Misahat Noon – Artistic Bootcamp

Experience the power of art and activism with MISAHAT NOON, the unforgettable artistic boot camp that brought together young dancers from different regions of Tunisia to the Magrebian Youth Complex in Tataouine from January 4th to 11th, 2023. This activity aimed to empower young people to use their talents to make a difference in the world. Led by American choreographer and contemporary dancer Heather Harrington, participants participated in workshops and rehearsals aimed at exploring different aspects of violence against women and raising awareness about women’s rights, drawing inspiration from the revolutionary movement of Martha Graham.

Throughout the week, the participants not only honed their dance skills, but also had the opportunity to expand their knowledge in other performing art fields. They were introduced to music producing with sound engineers Aymen Goubaa & Arij Jaouachi and learned about human rights history with rights activist Badr Baabou.

The bootcamp brought together young people from all regions of Tunisia, providing them with a platform to not only showcase their talents, but also to come together and learn from one another. The diverse group of participants brought their unique perspectives and experiences to the table, making for a truly enriching and meaningful experience.
