Description
"African Inspirations" uses the music-movement relationship to explore connections between traditional African dance and Western dance principles. Students will learn Pearl Primus' interpretations of two African dances-"Fanga," a dance of welcome, and "Bushasche," a war dance for peace-and develop small group pieces based on this material, re-interpreted through their own bodies and new rhythmic "conversations." Musicians-particularly percussionists and singers-are welcome to join the project, as the course is accessible to novice and experienced dancers alike. No prerequisites. Offered Bi-annually.
