"It’s a solitary journey, but also a journey we take two by two, and as an entire group at the same time. There are several layers to it,” says participant Habiba Nathoo. As a visual artist and storyteller, she joined the project to further her artistic process. To her, the journey itself is the end goal. “Each of us has a dance inside that is our own.

Like most learning experiences, it works by taking people far outside
their comfort zone. The teenage participants are especially prone to
the fear of being judged, so it is essential to create a safe space
where they can feel confident enough to try out things, requiring a lot
of compassion, patience and energy.
But even adults are not above doubting themselves. “Just being
watched when you’re in the middle of the studio brings up issues of
self-confidence and narcissism,” says Cabado. “But the best remedy to
fear is action.”
“Perhaps that’s where the duo can become a form of support, where
opening up to the other person can become a crutch of sorts,” muses
Nathoo. “You give a bit of your weight, but you keep some of it to
stay grounded.”
