Voirelia is a Vancouver-based dance, psychology, and philosophy hub founded by Dr. Alina Sotskova (Registered Psychologist). Its main purpose is to create original dance and art works inspired by ideas in psychology and philosophy. Existential philosophy emphasizes human freedom and responsibility, potential for creation of deep personal meaning, authentic personal expression, self-reflection, and genuine connection with others. The influences of psychology on Voirelia lead to a recognition that mental health is something that affects everyone. Art and dance can become vehicles for acknowledging and normalizing human struggles, as well as a path towards connecting with others, sharing stories, finding support, and enhancing people’s resilience, creativity, and thriving potential. While contemporary dance is a priority for Voirelia, other art forms (e.g., photography, literature, poetry, music, painting) may be explored and integrated into future works and events.
