// A *FREE* dance workshop with jumatatu m. poe & Jermone “Donte” Beacham //
November 4th, 2019 4-6pm.
J-Sette, also known as Bucking, is a performance style popular in the southern United States, practiced widely among majorettes and drill teams at historically Black colleges and universities, and also among teams of primarily queer men who compete in gay clubs and pride festivals. The workshop focuses on bombastic performance energy, complex relationships to rhythm and music, movement precision, group dynamics, and discovering joy in flesh and community. We will explore how the performance of J-Sette creates expectations around attention and accountability to a community, and how it positions leadership. All bodies are encouraged to participate, regardless of previous training or ability.
The Big Body workshop is part of jumatatu and Jermone’s research for their performance “Let ‘Im Move You: Intervention,” which will be performed at Fusebox Festival in April 2020 (15th-19th) in partnership with the Carver Museum.
Workshops are free, but reservations are required.
QTPOC participants will be prioritized.
