BIOGRAPHY
I am Clara Thierry, a contemporary dancer born and raised in Mauritius. Over the past two years, I have been based in Switzerland, where I am currently completing my master's studies in teaching and coaching dance to professionals at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK).
Prior to moving to Switzerland, I gained valuable experience working at the Mainfranken Theatre Wรผrzburg under the direction of Dominique Dumais, as well as with the Tanzcompagnie Giessen with Tarek Assam and a diverse range of choreographers.
Previously I was at Rudra Bejart School and Cinevox Junior Company.
DIPLOMAPROJECT
For my Master project, I am developing a website that offers a 21-day program designed to support injured dancers in their recovery journey.
It's a comprehensive toolkit of self-care practices, drawing from various techniques, to guide dancers on their healing journey. Physical injury often prompts a reconnection with ourselves, and my goal is to empower individuals to understand the transformative role of movement in healing. Through exercises targeting body, mind, and emotions, participants gain the tools and support they need to navigate their recovery journey with grace and resilience.
