Public Dance Workshops

Sankofa Danzafro
With Rafael Palacios
Dance workshop
Atelier Sankofa 1

Discover the Dance of Sankofa Danzafro

Joined by musicians, Rafael Palacios demonstrates the blend of dance styles, histories, traditions, and philosophies behind Sankofa Danzafro's unique choreographic language.

Workshop in Spanish with translators present.
No experience required.
Ages 14 and up.
45 participants maximum.

Its style, both traditional and contemporary, reflects the struggle for existence and the resurgence of Black communities in Colombia. It draws on expressions preserved by an interpretation that lives in the present moment, danced by adults, young people and children alike. The workshop will explore the various traditional Afro-Colombian dances that inspire the company: the Afro-Colombian dances of the North and South regions on the Pacific side of the country, as well as the dances of Currulao, Bullerengue, Abosao, Tamborito and Jota that make up the Urabå Antioqueño region.

Company

Sankofa Danzafro

Artistic Director Rafael Palacios’ motivation has been to rewrite the history of Black communities through the eyes of those directly involved, Afro-descendants in Colombia and elsewhere. Palacios’ view is that history has always been written by the oppressor, while the oppressed were denied a voice. So, utilizing the voices of the Sankofa dancers and musicians, he has been creating choreographies for over 20 years focused on retelling history from a point of view that has been ignored for centuries.

The missing door · The lost room · The hidden floor

Peeping Tom has been making waves on the European dance scene since the early 2000s with its offbeat, genre- bending universe portrayed by extraordinary performers. An unconstrained imaginary world where horror and extravagance go hand in hand.
