Zari l'intrépide
Created by Gwen Rakotovao in 2014, Zari l'intrépide (Zari the Fearless) is a dance workshop inspired by a children’s story of the same name. Designed to introduce young audiences to dance and movement, the workshop encourages children to tap into their imagination. Using elements from the story — like colors, wind, and the forest — participants explore sensations that guide them through movement improvisation and help develop coordination.
The workshop also invites children to discover the space around them and learn how to move through it with awareness and creativity.
Presented internationally in cities such as New York, Bangkok, Agadir, London, and Kyoto, Zari the Fearless offers a playful and poetic introduction to dance, blending storytelling with movement in a way that inspires and empowers children.
