Daliah Touré

"We are all dancers" was a dance project that resided at the Künstlerhaus Vereinigung Wien from February 2020 to August 2020. Touré wanted to offer movement and dance workshops in response to the exhibition “ALL WAS CLEAR”, which engaged with the artists works and ideas on an embodied and experiential level. An important aspect of the project was to encourage people from immigrant backgrounds to participate and work towards breaking down the barriers of accessibility and lack of diversity associated with many institutions in the city center. After an online presence during the spring closure, a week of dance workshops was organized in August with the support of the Art Education team at the Künstlerhaus.

Daliah Touré is a dance artist living in Vienna. She completed her BA in dance performance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance (UK) in 2006. The various projects she was involved in after her training allowed her to develop into a versatile artist and facilitator. She draws inspiration from her extensive career as a performer, movement practitioner, researcher and from working in a variety of professional and community settings. Her investigation of collaborative practice became the basis for her master's project, which she completed at the University of Leeds (UK) in 2013.  In the years following her Master's degree, she divided her time between freelance work and her role as a dance lecturer at York St John University (UK) until she returned to Austria in 2019.
