Power Moves for Perilous Times – Dance Workshop with Amrita Hepi
July 29, 2017 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
Power Moves for Perilous Times is a dance workshop with Amrita Hepi (NSW), free to the public as part of Disrupted Festival of Ideas 2017
Dance activist Amrita Hepi sells out her nationwide pop culture dance classes in seconds. Now she takes a turn to the left, mashing up dance class with performance lecture in Power Moves For Perilous Times.
Recharge in this one-hour beginners dance class and expand your power-movement repertoire with techniques from the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna, John Travolta, Willie Ninja, Bruce Lee, Grace Jones and GoGo Yubari.
A Bundjulung and Ngapuhi woman, Amrita is a dancer and choreographer creating performance with cultural provocations. She explores ideas of authenticity, the perpetuation of culture, tradition and a ‘de-colonial imagination’. Her diverse practice has taken many forms but always begins by working with the body as a point of archive, memory and resistance.
This event is part of the State Library of Western Australia‘s Disrupted Festival of Ideas. See the full program at disrupted.slwa.wa.gov.au
