Workshops Description:
Näss (People), a performance by Massala Dance Company, France, combines hip hop, contemporary dance and traditional Moroccan rhythms. Using the themes, styles and techniques of Näss as a basis, dancers from the company will give workshops on 23rd.

The purpose of the workshops is to provide choreographic tools and new vocabulary to hip hop and contemporary dancers in order for them to enhance and develop their own, unique technique.

Exercises include movement, floor work, work with space, in relation with the other, work with sound and music, work with gravity, as well as visualisation exercises to boost one’s imagination.
