STEADY BODY – peripheral dances, sacred gestures
Ana Pi (Belo Horizonte | Paris)
Schedule
The workshop will be an opportunity to experience fundamental elements from various dances of the African Diaspora. From the groove to the tension, from the recodification to the futurity. The aim of this practice is to expand the radical knowledge about the body resistance technologies reinvented both in the Caribbean territories and American Continent in the last five centuries.
