2023 Den Hang and Wuppertal

Ended The Year 2022 ,with a Good Start into 2023 .
 a First Time Mom  ,with a Career   was My Highlight of My Entire Year .
It's Been 3 months since I took  a break off tour .
Always excited to be on the Tour , got to accept the that I was born for this excitement 
,3 years with   Sadler's Wells, Ecole d sable and Pina bausch Foundation  ,got me reflecting  so much on how Times Travel.
Reason why it go me writing.... 


"you never can tell how much time you loose out on living ,until you finally  realise  how much you  have on getting opportunity  .

Make 2023 intentional.
Had my 2nd Show at the Amare Theatre  Den Haag  and with 2 more shows to go.
Loving the Intensity of the Rehearsals  into  Performances ... With Clementine  Deluy  and Jorge Puerta  as restagers nothing gets you more prepared ,nothing really, still dealing with my weight gained but was accepted by the team with all arms ,celebrating with me and finishing  Den Haag into the Long awaited performances in Wuppertal .
Work shop at Wuppertal  
The Home of PINA Bausch, wow was excited to be there ,to see a city built around  a Dancer is such and truly a Legacy to behold ..
Oh Wuppertal having scheduled with lots of activities, wotkshops ,clases ,homes ,and studios to visit wow 
Met wit past dancers of Sacre who are almost 70 and 60 and some in theor 40s was at the ADA restaurant  ,a place that carry a bit of PINABAUSCH history  .

Yiiki Bolero Hello my friends. It has been 8weeks since I departed Lagos. I have missed writing you as things have happened so fast and creative work has been so so intense ......

It was an astoundingly exciting and exceptional evening as Irene Tssambedo’s latest choreographic piece was exceptionally performed and amazingly received amidst thunderous applauses and a standing ovation as we took YIIKI AFRICA BOLÉRO’s maiden curtain call in front of a filled to capacity theatre.  I want to say thank you to you my family, friends, and the ensemble of YIIKI for the encouragement and support. It indeed was a stellar performance and I hold cherished memories of this experience.  Another chapter begins on my journey to artistic excellence, as I resume residency here in Ouaga. I am creating a new choreographic piece at the school of dance Ecole Edit, where I am supported by my mother in dance Irene Tssambedo. This solo performance will premiere at “_The FIDO INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF DANCE”_  which opens in January 2021.  I will also be teaching dance at the International School of Dance. where a special program for classical, contempo
