Forum Dança
Registration open.
‘The Ọ̀kànràn Method is an Afrocentric pedagogical approach to dance that combines Afro-Brazilian physical practices, somatic principles, African cosmologies, and contemporary approaches to movement, understanding Afro-diasporic dance as an aesthetic, political, ancestral, spiritual, and epistemological field. The workshop investigates the body as a sensitive territory, nature, and memory archive based on the principle of the crossroads and a notion of spiraling time, where ancestry and future intersect.’
[Jorge Cipriano]
