The Groove! Music, patterns, and all that jazz…
Thinking melody & rhythm in dances
In this dance workshop, we will work on breaking down the elements of dance and music – like tiny lego pieces – to further enrich our array of moves and improvisation possibilities. We’ll go from working with melodies and musical structures (the bases of musicality) to feeling and identifying rhythms and blend them together in advanced uses (off beats, polyrhythms, and so on).
Whatever the mind can think and conceive, the body can achieve.
This workshop is the ideal preparation for the folk ball with Man Encantada & Cardboard Cabin on the same day, where you'll see Remi as a mucisian. Don't forget to book your ticket for this ball!
In the morning, Remi will give the dance workshop Frame It ! at De Maalbeek, and in the afternoon there is the heartbreaking choice between Remi's workshop The Groove! and the workshop Occitan singing with Joachim Montbord at La Tricoterie. The day before, Koen will be giving a congo workshop in Mechelen.
Get ready for a crazy dance weekend!
