Come dance with us after the final showing of Altération! Join Aly for his workshop at Breaking Circus

This rhythm awakening workshop emphasizes the bodily experience of rhythm through movement, singing, melody, and physical coordination.

Led by multidisciplinary artist Aly Keita, this workshop invites participants to explore the fundamental relationship between body and rhythm using a selection of recorded soundscapes and musical tracks. It offers an immersive experience in West African cultural elements, helping participants develop rhythmic awareness through voice, movement, and guided exercises.

Through singing, dancing, and coordination exercises, participants will sharpen their ability to feel and express rhythm physically. They will explore the dialogue between movement and music, focusing on rhythmic precision, play, body posture, and expression. The workshop encourages a deep connection to rhythm through improvisation and group dynamics.

Participants will also experiment with creating rhythmic patterns in groups, responding to recorded African rhythms, and engaging with the music through dance. The workshop will conclude with a collective expression circle and a question-and-answer session.

Drop in registration at the door.
