A blending of rhythmic movement and cultures from various regions in the African Continent
The body is in constant motion driven by the pulse of the heartbeat, which sends multiple signals, connected to the soul, mind and breath. It is this notion that drives the movement aesthetic, focusing on the pulse as a starting point. When intensified, it creates a vibration that remains constant, producing different layers of energy ripples, exemplifying the aesthetic, ethical, political, and social imperatives of such body techniques with a new sublime.
This technique, based on Pulse Theory, combines African traditional movement, especially from the Xhosa culture, with Western, postmodern references, thus creating a reflection of different dance methods and personal experiences.
