Hautes fréquences in schools
In addition to the performances and workshops offered to the general public, Hautes fréquences will visit seven schools in Eastern Quebec, in partnership with Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Elementary School (Marsoui), the René-Lévesque School Board, and Arts et Spectacles Matanie. These workshops introduce young people to the diversity of street dance styles and allow them to connect with internationally renowned artists. Workshops are always an excellent way to foster a love of dance and inspire the next generation.
THE ARTISTS
Athena Lucie Assamba, also known as ATHENA
Athena Lucie Assamba is an interdisciplinary artist and emerging choreographer-researcher. Her dance style is rooted in African dance traditions. Originally from Cameroon, she received her first training in her homeland before encountering, in 2019, the street dance community, which broadened her horizons to include waacking, dancehall, ndombolo, mbolé, and Afro house. In 2020, she joined Afrodomtl, a collective dedicated to the transmission, professionalization, and diversity of African-descended dances in Montreal.
As an emerging choreographer and artistic director, she created *BOSEMBO* and *NkulNnam* (2024), followed by *African Celestial Beings* (2025), a work celebrating the spirituality of African masks. While her training at the Nyata Nyata Center allowed her to explore the ancestral roots of movement, her background in neuroscience enables her to forge connections between the arts, spirituality, and healing—a practice rooted in African mysticism.
