“I take care of the physical part of Madam Fortuna projects. I let participants find out for themselves how they move and express themselves physically and then I work with the strengths of each individual. Seeing how people, with all their differences, work together on a project is fantastic. At Madam Fortuna they grow, make friends and some come home. Connecting people and empowering them through art experience is incredibly satisfying.”

“Madam Fortuna is a wonderful melting pot of people, ideas, artistic projects and social concern. To be allowed to raise our voices there, to let our breath vibrate together and to sing is a great gift. It is liberation, connection, vulnerability and joy.“
