She completed her dance education at the Cairo Contemporary Dance Center in Egypt and studied International Business and Contemporary Dance at Concordia University.

In her creative process, Mona goes beyond the dance and traces the thread that weaves the different art forms she practices including Martial Arts, painting, and writing. In un-layering questions of personal identity and heritage, Mona is interested in how stories are transmitted, shared, and told through the body across generations. She finds the dance in the place where the inner and outer meet, the traditional and the contemporary converse, and in the encounter between the intimate and the collective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creatrix <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">started as an invitation to co-create a dance duet with her mother, Hala; a doctor, science teacher, and a mother of three who is not trained in dance. In this process, they dance through their genealogy in an attempt to get to know themselves and each other by meeting those who preceded them. Using tokens, photos, and letters passed down through generations, they reflect on their past; where they come from, and where they now find themselves. Mona and her mother visit home in their fluid memories and vivid childhoods. Mona tries to touch all that is fleeting and step on the intangible rhythms that animate their heritage. They bring their opposing worlds to one another and search for the common denominator in art and science, motherhood and girlhood, past and present. Her mother alwa<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ys wanted to write her memoirs, in return, this dance may count as a prelude to achieve this goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":13905,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"role":[155],"cities":[137],"data_type":[141],"joint_mentorship":[189],"class_list":["post-13864","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artists-22-23","program-alliance-en","discipline-dance","discipline-performing-arts","role-artist","cities-montreal-en","data_type-artist","joint_mentorship-conseil-des-arts-de-montreal-cam-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mona El Husseini &mdash; MAI | Montr\u00e9al, arts interculturels<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/m-a-i.qc.ca\/en\/artist\/mona-el-husseini\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mona El Husseini &mdash; MAI | Montr\u00e9al, arts interculturels\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Open to professional choreographers from culturally diverse backgrounds, the joint support is offered annually in partnership with the CAM,Conseil des arts de Montr\u00e9al.
