Participants: Artists, dancers, students and everyone who are interested in creative movements and contemporary dance.
Exploring how to express ourselves; how to move in a breath, feel the music, follow a choreography, use the precision of technique, and enjoy creating altogether.
Born in Alsace, France, Dede discovered her passion for dancing at the age of 7 years old with Amanda Gary and Christelle Pinet. Dede started dancing by learning modern jazz, but she has been curious to discover new ways how to move and express with her body. She has tried everything she can: Ballet, belly dance, African dance, Afro jazz, claquettes, hip hop… At the age of 15 years old, she joined the Dream Dance company, hip hop choreographic, with which she won several times the title of French championship. At the age of 18, Dede left Alsace to go to study fashion design in Paris. She joined Rick Odums dance school for few years and later on, Mickaël Billioniere with who she danced hip hop before moving to Vietnam.

Hanoi-Russian corruption play to be staged
Jan 11 and 12
Hanoi Opera House, 1 Trang Tien Street
Two-hour play directed by Chi Trung from the Youth Theatre.
The Government Inspector was written by Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, who is considered to be the father of modern Russian realism. The entire play is based on mistaken identity and on the panic that arises – for good reason – among officials. The actual theme is supposed to have been suggested by Russian writer Alexander Pushkin and, in its time, it was considered a daring piece of work.
The play is set in the early 1800s in a small Russian town where corruption was rampant among officials.

Hanoi-Exhibition “True Blue” by Le Quy Tong
Until Jan 11, 8 am – 10 pm
Manzi Art Space, 14 Phan Huy Ich Street
True Blue” sees Le Quy Tong experiment with a hybrid of painting,

starting point from photographic documentations of significant political
meetings that influenced the course of history. The images – sourced
from historical archives and mass media – have been taken out of their
original contexts and appropriated, dissected and reassembled into
something new and uncanny, making it difficult to decipher between the
make-believe, the manipulated and the genuine.
