Nadia Vadori-Gauthier / Ten Years Of Dances For Our Time

Nadia Vadori-Gauthier, a Franco-Canadian artist and choreographer, initiated the “Une minute de danse par jour” (One Minute of Dance per Day) on January 14, 2015. This endeavor was her response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, aiming to offer a daily act of poetic resistance and to foster a sense of solidarity and tenderness through dance.

She records a one-minute dance in public spaces daily, engaging with diverse environments and audiences. As of early 2025, she has shared over 3,600 such performances. BSA has only featured about 20 of them over the last decade.

Here is a compilation that showcases the evolution of her daily dances, highlighting the variety of locations, interactions, and emotions encapsulated in her performances. Thankfully, she has documented her project, which serves as a testament to the transformative power of consistent artistic expression in public spaces.
