Tendai Makurumbandi
RHYTHMS OF RESISTANCE – Moving with Shadows and Vibration

This 4-day workshop is an extension of MY SONG, presented at Dansehallerne. One can expect to explore how the body holds memory, rhythm, and resistance. Using choreographic material from the piece, we will move through vibration, repetition, and improvisation as tools to access embodied stories. You’ll work with sensing what moves beneath the surface—your own shadows, resistance, and transformation. The workshop invites you to move with presence, to listen deeply, and to let rhythm guide your expression.

What to bring / prepare

Wear clothes you feel free to move in. Bring water, a notebook if you like, and come as you are—with your full presence.

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