This workshop for professional and non-professional dancers alike, peeks into Malik Nashad Sharpe’s practice fusing contemporary with street dance. Caribbean riddims sit alongside ‘rage’ and ‘plugg’ in this sweaty dance class, which utilises psycho-somatic techniques, across the floor-work, and commercial phrase work that heightens one’s ability to move fast, move strong, to articulate, to project, and to dance with hella steez.

Malik Nashad Sharpe, choreographer of AIR BODY SAD with Norrdans is holding this workshop on the occasion of the performance, which will take place 20.-22th of October in Hallen, Dansehallerne.

Malik Nashad Sharpe is a British-American choreographer and performance artist known for his experimental and politically thought-provoking work. With an ability to move seamlessly between genres such as music videos, fashion campaigns and contemporary dance, Sharpe challenges traditional notions of dance and choreography. Sharpe’s work often focuses on identity and power structures, exploring the body’s relationship to politics and society and has been recognised for its deep and reflective approach to contemporary issues of power, sexuality and identity.

The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen V in Studio 3.
