How come the absence of dance is so present in my life? Dance defined me for a large part of my life and is now left out. My time away from dancing made me feel like a stranger to myself. In this project, I am going to dance studios in Budapest to reconnect in the space and find the person I once was. Unspoken Bonds is a chapter of an ongoing project that I started in the Netherlands a few months ago. In Budapest I aspire to connect with the community of dancers but now from the position of an observer and photographer. It feels like visiting home in a foreign country. It feels as if “I was made for dancing”. emilie.tizien@gmail.com @emilietizien
