Movement Workshop with Mufutau Yusuf & Lucas Katangila

This improvisation workshop invites students to engage with their own movement vocabularies and their imaginations in new ways through applying various tools, challenging oneself and working through one’s own limit, meanwhile having fun and sharing one’s own dance with others. With an emphasis on embracing one’s own personal groove, it is a very physical and energetic practice, and most importantly fun and suitable for all dance enthusiasts with varying experiences.
