Ragga & Limbo
Surf that wave

In Karine LaBel's workshops young participants get a feeling for the harmony of their body. They learn to casually use its intrinsic, natural wave movement and apply it fearlessly to the rhythm of live-percussion.
The wave movement of the body plays an important role in dances like Ragga. However, these workshops are not about learning this wave movement - a resource readily available in our body - but about how to experience it to use it for dance.
The program of the workshop is based on the Afro-Haitian and Afro-Caribbean dances of Ragga and Libo.
