Art Alive Cultural Association is dedicated to the development of contemporary dance art, along with initiatives fostering understanding among individuals through movement and storytelling. We believe that the transformative power of art has a responsibility to address societal issues such as transgenerational trauma, raise awareness, and drive change.

Our focus lies in the creation of trans- and multidisciplinary art projects. We strive to inspire individuals and make a positive impact on society, aiming to leave a lasting legacy by improving the world through our artistic work and personal growth programs.
