Workshop – Master Class
Zab Maboungou
Nyata Nyata (Montreal)
RYPADA (Friday; Master Class at 2:15-3:45pm & Open class at 4:00-5:00pm) Zab will be teaching RYPADA (followed by some principles for the advanced class if time allows). The class will be divided into two parts:
Part 1: RYPADA: Rhythms, Postures and Alignment for Dance (no drums)
An essential introduction to what makes dance and the dancer. This class is for students searching for a rigorous and dynamic approach to the principles of dance. The theory and practice of LOKETO- a postural and rhythmic principle – will be introduced.
Part 2: Rhythms and Movement (with drums)
Traditional space and contemporary approach. Rhythmic codes, progression and improvisation, strength, physical and rhythmical endurance.
