Lana Renfrum started training in ballet at the age of four and later studied at ArtEZ Dance Academy and École Atelier Rudra Béjart, where she focused on classical ballet and the Graham technique. She danced with Ballet Preljocaj Junior in Aix-en-Provence and now works as a freelance dancer, including with Reframing HERstory Art Foundation, and as a curator at the National Slavery Museum (in development). In her practice she explores how body, history and representation intersect, and how performance can help to recentre marginalised stories and experiences.

Yanira Gefferie graduated from the Dance Teacher programme at the Academy of Theatre and Dance (Amsterdam University of the Arts) in 2019 and works as a dancer, theatre maker and choreographer. She creates work with and for young people around social issues such as peer pressure, domestic violence and hierarchy. Her cultural background, and especially Winti traditions within Surinamese culture, plays a central role in her artistic practice. Through dance and performance, Yanira investigates how personal and collective histories are held in the body and passed on, and how art can open space for healing, reflection and encounter.
