About the event

The History of Blues - Workshop & Party
*** English below ***
Hogyan született a Blues?
Csatlakozz hozzánk erre az élményszerű workshopra, ahol a blues zene és tánc történetét ismerheted meg a korszak művészeinek és kultúrájának megelevenítésén keresztül, látványos vizuális anyagokkal és élőzenével kísérve!
Az első órában Yotam bevezet minket a blues zene történetébe – gyökereibe és fejlődésébe – interaktív ritmusjátékokon keresztül, élőzenei kísérettel. Felfedezheted, mitől egyedi a blues ritmusvilága, és kipróbálhatod magad ütőhangszereken!
A második órában Shao-ting vezetésével megismerhetjük a Spirit Moves archívumában fennmaradt történelmi blues tánclépéseket, azok eredetét, kontextusát és jelentését. Lehetőséged lesz kipróbálni ezeket a lépéseket, és meglátni, hogyan élnek tovább a kortárs blues táncban!
A kétórás workshop után egy kétórás, megszakítás nélküli, valódi blues buli vár rád! Az élmény teljessé tétele érdekében bátorítunk, hogy öltözz korhű, vintage stílusban.

How Was the Blues Born?
Join us for this immersive workshop, where you can experience the story of Blues music and dance through the artists and culture of the time, accompanied by visuals and live music!

In the first hour, Yotam will introduce us to the history of Blues music—its roots and evolution—through engaging rhythm games accompanied by live music. You will have the chance to explore what makes Blues rhythm unique and express yourself using percussion instruments!

In the second hour, Shao-ting will guide us in discovering the historical Blues moves from Spirit Moves, exploring their origins, context, and meaning. You will have the opportunity to try these historical steps and see how they appear in contemporary Blues dance!

After the two-hour workshop, a two-hour uninterrupted, true Blues party awaits you! To enhance the immersive experience, we invite you to dress in vintage attire.

About the Teachers
Yotam Cohen is a pianist and composer with a deep passion for Ragtime and early African American music. As an educator, he believes that the story of music should be experienced in a fun and engaging way—through playing percussion, listening to authentic voices from the past, and visualizing the musical framework that makes it all come alive.

Shao-ting Lee is a Taiwanese Blues dancer and researcher specializing in dance anthropology and choreomusicology. Based in Szeged, she dreams of spreading the ideas of call-and-response, the joy of improvisation, and the importance of self-expression across the world. She combines dance analysis methodology with dance practice, studying movement through both an academic and dancer-centered lens.
