«I'm absolutely delighted: Tanzfest Thun, which I co-initiated, has received the City of Thun's "Kulturstreuer" award! As co-initiator and co-artistic director, this recognition means a great deal to me – it reflects what I've been passionately committed to for many years: dance for everyone, across generations.» Lucía
Winner of the Cultural Mediation Award 2024 from the Canton of Bern
Lucía wins the cultural mediation prize 2024 of Canton of Bern. "I am extremely pleased about the recognition and the prize from the Canton of Bern. It's nice when the various smaller and larger dance projects are noticed, even though they are often excluded from the general public and receive little media coverage. This award and the recognition it entails really strengthens me to keep going with my commitment and to enable as many people as possible to participate in and engage with dance whilst I continue to grow in each process. Thank you!" Lucía
