Dancing Around The World - Lima
May 11 - May 22nd
Dancing with Lima - A travelogue of movement
Some people travel to other cities and look at the architecture or analyze the fashion, food or wines found there. While working in this genre, I offer a unique spin on this theme by visiting cities with my Dancing Around The World (DAW) and looking at the movement as well as body language of people in that particular place (i.e., how and why they move). This exciting, dance art project will visit one major city every two weeks for exploration. During a movement workshop taught by me we will be observing and analyzing people's movement behavior, the DAW workshop will create a dance inspired by that city as well as its movement performed in selected sites throughout the locale of interest. Videographer Enki Andrews will follow the DAW workshop each step of the way, giving us visual insight into how an environment, its history, its architecture, language as well as reflection influences our movements. To make the work available to a larger audience, we will also develop a short Youtube episodes from a more playful perspective that accompanies the other works described above.
The Workshop is hosted by D-1 in Lima
During the residency in Lima Nejla will also teach a contemporary dance workshop to Ando Danzando kids to introduce them to Contemporary Dance.
