About the Workshop
Discover Rhythm and Percussive Dance with Zeugma invites participants to explore the expressive power of the body through movement and rhythm. Guided by choreographer Frédérique-Annie Robitaille, accompanied by a performer from the company, participants will experiment with percussive footwork and collective rhythmic patterns inspired by Zeugma’s choreographic approach.
The workshop also offers a glimpse into the world of Errances, the company’s latest outdoor production. Through playful and engaging activities, participants are encouraged to develop listening skills, creativity, and collaboration while discovering the vibrant language of percussive dance.
Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
No dance experience required. All ages welcome. Individuals under the age of 14 are asked to be accompanied by a trusted adult/guardian.
