Ainesh Madan
Dancer and Choreographer
My focus is on the themes of dislocation and relocation, drawing from my experiences living in various cities and managing a physical challenge. CN D offers a chance to explore these themes through movement and dance in Paris and Pantin. I aim to immerse myself in the French dance scene, choreograph, research, and collaborate with diverse artists to refine my artistic voice and build meaningful connections.
