Workshop Description
Choreographer/director Ogemdi Ude will lead a one day workshop inspired by her most recent project – MAJOR. In this workshop, participants will learn the foundations of majorette dance technique, a form begun by Southern Black femmes at Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the 1950s. Alongside majorette dance, participants will learn methods for bridging the form with contemporary dance and improvisation. This high energy workshop will move from a warm up, to across the floor work, to choreography, to improvised scores, and end in composition practices. This is an opportunity to learn the importance of Black femme dance tradition, and reckon with your own dance histories.
Open to all levels but tailored to the intermediate/advanced Afro-diasporic forms or contemporary dancer.
