Synopsis

Taking close reference to the award-winning hip hop theatre work Family Honour by Spoken Movement, this creative workshop conducted by Kwame Asafo-Adjei investigates the intricate possibilities of creating reality on stage. Encompassing Meisner technique (an acting technique created in 1935 by Sanford Meisner) with street dance techniques such as tension and release from popping, participants will be introduced to choreographic tools to transform their unique life experience to dance and choreography, establishing identity within theatre.

 

This creative workshop has a limited maximum capacity of 30 participants. It is suitable for professional and/or experienced dancers, full-time dance students and serious street dance enthusiasts who have a keen interest in exploring movement creation and choreography.

 

FL/OW Masterclass: Creative Workshop with Spoken Movement (Open) is part of da:ns focus – FL/OW (The FULL OUT Weekend), which invites you to celebrate the diverse facets of street dance and its culture over three days of exciting performances, workshops, battles and parties! Having grown from its humble beginnings as FULL OUT! street dance showcase in 2019, you won’t want to miss this jam-packed weekend with high-energy showcases and experimental works by world-renowned dance crews, emerging and seasoned local choreographers, all demonstrating what street dance can be beyond the conventional.
