to infuse your music making and movement with improvisation and Afro-fusion
form:
Larry Graves - West-African based Drumming
Participants will have the hands-on opportunity to explore rhythms,
songs, hand drumming techniques and movement from various West African
popular and indigenous traditions. Some instruments (drums; bells; rattles)
can be provided- participants should bring their own if possible. No
experience required. All levels welcome. Fun intended.

Jennifer Dallas - Modern African Dance and Movement
Jennifer's training is in both classical contemporary dance and West

Something's musicians, participants will explore the use of 'authentic'
movement which is personal to the individual, then work in small groups
to practice weight transfer between dancers, leading to contact improvisation.
All levels welcome.
