The congolese choreographer, author and dancer Dorine Mokha who was a fellow of Akademie Schloss Solitude in 2014 died on January 8, 2021 at the age of 31 in Lubumbashi/DR Congo.
The current fellows Christ Mukenge and Lydia Schellhammer remember their colleague and good friend on the online platform C&.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and loved ones, as well as to all the members of the arts community.
