The Touch of the Calm
Life, for us all, is a chain of encounters. We have good times, we have bad times, and, we even have moments that leave sorrow and pain in their wake. But, whatever the challenges may be, being and staying ourselves is always the best, and, Barbara Alli has always been true to herself.
She grew up amongst the dance and the song of the magic of Africa, and, it was the beat and the rhythm - and the shades of its life - that formed her into what she is now, a person of layers - and all held together with a red-hot string of passionate energy.
And, it’s this fired-up emotional excitement that’s keeping these layers of movement in action. Barbara is creative. She is a dancer, a singer, a drummer, an artist, a writer, a photographer, and much more besides; and, what is good news for Austria, she is busy in Vienna passing on all that she knows.
And, Afrococo, the organization that she founded to promote African performing arts, is her vehicle for getting it done. Its programme covers a wide range of exciting projects, all of which are designed to bring people’s creative energy to the surface - where it then becomes an exciting force of expression and strength.
And so, this is Barbara’s philosophy, be yourself, be deep and be happy, and, by being so, you are helping others to be themselves, too. And, she knows what she is talking about - for she has the soothing touch of the calm, and, the sweetness of strength. Things can only be good!
