Athena Lucie Assamba is an emerging multidisciplinary dance artist, performer and choreographer. Rooted in traditional, contemporary and urban African dance, she explores spirituality and cultural heritage through her creations. A member of Afrodomtl, she participates in the development of Montreal’s dance community. Training at the Nyata Nyata Center, she delves deeper into the body-mind relationship and ancestral knowledge. With a degree in neuroscience, she explores healing through movement and art, drawing on the mysticism of African essence.
