MANAMAMMADEJO (MYMOMDANCES) is a work space of two latvian contemporary dance artists Rūta Pūce and Anna Novikova, where they reflect about the connection between their artistic life and motherhood. Their collaboration started with contemporary dance performance DIVOTNE (TWONESS) in year 2017. They use a Facebook page to capture moments where motherhood collapses with dance art.
Rūta and Anna work together as MANAMAMMADEJO and also as independent dance artists.
