Compagnie Multicorps’ dancers will immerse participants in different rhythms and dance styles from Benin, particularly those from the West African sub-region. These community dances, rooted in Vodoun culture, will allow participants to discover new sounds and other forms of traditional dance. The focus will be on working with traditional rhythms and musical counts, and then addressing the movements in their original intent. Dancers will learn to understand the different strong beats and the dynamics of each dance. Emphasis will be placed on the work of the legs, arms, head, and spine to enrich bodily expression and develop a better connection with music and movement. This workshop is a space to collectively share energy in order to create deeply individual and collective spiritual connections, and to understand the relationship between us and nature.
