Art with a message. Larry and Laurent Bourgeois — better known as Les Twins — are currently touring the globe with Beyoncé, but they’re also finding time to give back using the thing they love most: dance.
The French dancers, 34, partnered last year with Kids Write Network, a youth program that helps children and young adults build self-confidence and improve their mental health using art, music and dance. The duo have led workshops at schools across Canada as part of their RISE for Mental Health Tour, which will debut in the United States this October at the Pace Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.
According to Laurent, KWN founder Helen Georgaklis “kidnapped” him and his brother to work with her organization after seeing them perform. “She literally fell in love with the way we were working with strangers,” the choreographer exclusively told Us Weekly. “She loved the way I educated people, because it was more than just dancing.”
Fans of Beyoncé, 41, will recognize Les Twins from her videos and tours dating back to 2011, but the twosome have been dancing for far longer than that. As they tell it, they never learned to dance — they were just born doing it.
“It’s totally emotional,” Laurent explained. “It’s like babies [when] they don’t know how to speak. Their body is speaking, when they’re mad, when they’re happy, when they’re super happy, when they’re hungry … their bodies are speaking and dancing 24/7.”
The brothers want their dance workshops to help kids learn how to express themselves through art, even if they’re not as naturally attracted to dance as Les Twins were. In many cases, they’ve seen students come out of their shells after a class.
“They release something,” Laurent told Us. “They just literally understand who they

Angelique Jackson Growing up in South London, “They Cloned Tyrone” star John Boyega would sit on his mattress watching Jamie Foxx act up on “The Jamie Foxx Show” or his Oscar-winning portrayal of Ray Charles in “Ray.” So, getting the opportunity to team up with Foxx for the conspiracy caper “They Cloned Tyrone,” was a dream come true. “That’s someone that I’m very much inspired by,” Boyega told Variety on the red carpet at the American Black Film Festival, where the Netflix movie was the opening night selection. “He’s definitely been one of the major hands behind my career that helped me to get roles, get opportunities and I appreciate it.” Of course, Boyega has come a long way from watching movies and TV in his bedroom. After breaking onto the scene in “Attack the Block” and then playing Finn in the latest “Star Wars” trilogy,” Boyega has starred as King Ghenzo in the critically acclaimed film “The Woman King,” portrayed a military veteran with PTSD in “Breaking,” and delivered a Golden Globe-winning performance in Steve McQueen’s “Small Axe” anthology series. But watching Foxx’s process up close made a major impression.

Ben Croll While France’s overall animation sector employed 7,790 staffers last year, local grandees hope to see those figures swell to 15,000 by 2030, and have thus made doubling the workforce the third key pillar of the wider Great Image Factory initiative. With nearly all the major animation studios and VFX houses developing outreach programs, partnering with existing schools, or offering mentorships, one studio is going to set up a brand new institution. Well, almost brand new. In 2018, TeamTO launched ECAS (Ecole Cartoucherie Animation Solidaire), a Valence-based, no-tuition animation school meant to give underprivileged youths 3D training and to offer them a leg-up into the industry. Running four years, and boasting a 98% success rate, the program would open for a nine-month term and then go dark again, with subsequent sessions sometimes in doubt.
