OKAN Pro-dance workshop with Ella Mesma

Join choreographer Ella Mesma (as part of Maya & Toussaint) as she leads a workshop inspired by Maya & Toussaint's latest creation, Okan - meaning Oneness, Conscience, and Heart in West Africa’s Yoruba language. Participants will experience inspiration from Salsa, Wing Chun, and diasporic dance styles that explore themes of connection, ancestry, and the relationships of opposing forces.

The workshop will begin with a body, mind and spirit check-in with Ella, then flowing into a soft and fun warm-up. The following section of the class will focus on rhythm; call and response exercises, lead and follow games, and creative tasks. The workshop might culminate with Ella working with participants to create a short movement sequence inspired by Okan.
