AFRO DANCE & STORYTELLING: "Let Your Body Talk"


  • Victorian College of the Arts 234 Saint Kilda Road Southbank, VIC, 3006 Australia (map)

From August 12th to September 16th

Participants dived into a symbiotic realm where body and mind met to form one. This collaborative 6 week workshop series got them you off their feet leading them to the world of body expression. Letting the energy and their feelings move through their bodies, these workshops invited participants to depart on a creative journey of unity through dance, individual exploration, collaborative work, and collaborative creation. “Let your Body Talk” was a journey to unleash their true self, push their boundaries, free themselves of all inhibitions and dare to undertake the unexpected. They seized this opportunity to reconnect with themselves, their roots and cultural identities, their personal stories and connections to culture, past, present and future. Let you Body Talk was an experience equal to none which allowed them to celebrate who they are to step out into the world stronger, proud, rejuvenated and unapologetically THEM!

Using kinesthetic empathy, Gracieuse and her infectious energy guided the participants through an exploration of identity, healing and representation. Participants had the opportunity to create a short dance piece which will be performed live at the Showcase event on the 23rd of September at Dancehouse

This 6 week workshop series was opened to individuals from all cultural backgrounds, levels and abilities.
