About the event


Since 2000, musicians across Central, West, and Southern Africa have shaped a wave of urban dance through choreographic innovation with each album release. These styles have emerged and taken hold across generations, living in family celebrations, on the streets, and in nightclubs. Today, these movements form a growing legacy, influencing the choreographic language of contemporary dance across the continent.


In this workshop, members of Compagnie Multicorps invite participants into this evolving vocabulary through movement, rhythm, and shared experience. Together, we’ll explore how dance carries culture, memory, and transformation across generations.
