À propos
"Moving in a Kollective Kommunity" with Kevin A. Ormsby & KasheDance will weave together movements from across the Caribbean. Using KasheDanTek, which incorporates Afro-Caribbean and contemporary movements and music, KasheDance will explore the everyday nuances of gestures and moving. The workshop is intended for all ages and levels of experience. We invite everyone to dance, move and create in a shared experience.
This is hybrid event, it is free for participants and available in-person or via zoom. Please register to secure your spot!
KasheDance is an Afro-Contemporary dance company with roots in Toronto and branches connecting it to the United States and the Caribbean. The company is unique in Canada in its use of the Critical Response Process to create, research and present dances that give voice to the realities of African Diasporic experiences. A creative practice based on traditional and contemporary diasporic languages (“KasheDantek”) has helped the company build its audience, connect to established artists while focusing on performance, as well as education and outreach opportunities. Kevin A. Ormsby is the Artistic Director of KasheDance, and will lead the Creatives in Residence project.
This workshop is part of Culture Days Creatives in Residence and is presented in partnership with the Dance Together Festival York Region.
