Free admission

This introductory session with the choreographer and director of Cia Converge+ Idio Chichava teaches the basics for expanding body awareness and establishes connections between Idio Chichava’s dance language, aesthetic perception, and creative processes. Drawing on traditional Mozambican dances such as Makwaela, Xigubo, and Mapiko, participants get to know the principles of energy, rhythm, and repetition as the foundation for presence, expression, and the projection of movement in space. These dances also symbolize social themes, initiation, community, and resistance. The introduction focuses on the relationships between the inner and the outer, the self and the other, as well as the interactions between bodies.

The dance workshop will be conducted in spoken English. Comfortable clothing is recommended. After the session, participants can relax and continue to the performance. No prior experience needed.
