Sofie Douda has been dancing, singing and acting since her childhood, including at the Vienna Academy Theatre. Sofie studied cultural and social anthropology and linguistics at the University of Vienna, worked in a kindergarten in Chile, took part in squats, intervened against deportations on Lesvos, including with the Rebel Clown Army, worked at the intervention centre for trafficked women and car-stopped through Europe to illegal raves.
In Paris, Sofie studied urban, traditional African (Centre Momboye) and contemporary dance techniques, in Brazil she learned Orixa movements (from Rosangela Silvestre and Vera Passos) and in Haiti she lived and performed with the Teyat Nasyonal, École Nationale des Arts and many other dance companies. She is passionate about Caribbean people and their cultures, and also wants to understand the spiritual, therapeutic, social and political dimensions of dance and music. Her approach: We must all work together to stop all the unnecessary violence and injustice and build an anti-hierarchical, anti-capitalist, solidary, Afro-indigenous, queerfeminist coexistence with people and nature based on love, respect and self-determination.
