Since 2000, musicians from Central, West, and Southern Africa have innovated with their choreographic creativity with each album release. Various dance styles have emerged and captivated the youth, whether during family celebrations, in the streets, or particularly in nightclubs. Many of these urban dance steps have now become part of a legacy that influences the choreographic vocabulary of contemporary dance for a new generation of choreographers across Africa.

In this workshop, members of Compagnie Multicorps invite participants into this evolving vocabulary through movement, rhythm, and shared experience. Together, we’ll explore how dance carries culture, memory, and transformation across generations.

Drawing from the company’s broader artistic research, participants will also engage movement as a way of relating to the world, where gesture becomes both personal expression and collective dialogue.
