CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN DANCE WITH FRANCIS ANGOL - June 16 to June 17 [June 2007]

CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN DANCE is a two-day workshop that introduces African dance from a contemporary perspective. It draws from the main African dance forms—Ghanaian, Ivorian, Nigerian, Senegalese and South African—as the basis of its movement and dance vocabulary—as well as Contemporary, Caribbean and Jazz dance styles. Participants will learn a unique yet accessible articulation of African dance, one that is rooted in the traditional but
informed by present forms.


FRANCIS ANGOL (UK) is an established choreographer, performer and tutor of Contemporary African Dance. He is currently the Artistic Director of Movement Angol and Director of Dance at Islington Arts Factory (North London). Francis has been guest artist in residence in many countries including Jamaica and Nigeria, and his choreographic work performed to packed audiences at the renowned Sadler’s Wells in London.
