Hind Benali
Hind Benal is a determined pioneer for contemporary dance within a culture where women do not dance publicly. As an independent artist incorporated as Fleur d’Orange, she has taken modern dance to public spaces in Morocco—historic sites, city parks, and theaters—has founded and produced an international dance festival (one of the very few in her homeland), and provides a creative home for many of Morocco’s contemporary, beat and hip-hop dancers and musicians.
