Description
Uptown Moves Workshop with Zab MaboungouFor Experienced Dancers, Ages 16 +
Art, creation and development:The movement that Zab Maboungou choreographs emerges from the heart of a musical architecture of bodies and space: the movement of the dancers’ bodies, of the musicians and their instruments and of the time they all make their own and redistribute in the form of an integrated scenography of sounds and gestures. The power of gestures, the vibrant soundscape, the energy and physicality characterise these ardent and highly mastered choreographic works. In her approach to contemporary creation, Zab Maboungou elicits dance from the bodies she works with, and in this way, integrates the various artistic and cultural paths and training of the artists into her process, confronting them with a rhythmic universe that is both extremely open and extremely codified.
