Talk-workshop: How did we used to dance before the 1970s?
The dancers Toni Jodar and Francesc Bravo will be offering a talk entitled “Com ballàvem abans dels 70 i com ballem avui?” [How did we used to dance before the 1970s and how do we dance today?]. This is an educational performance, halfway between talk and show, that takes us back to the past, from traditional dances to the time of the Charleston, the Av Paral·lel of cabarets, and cafès cantants [cafés with performing singers], to link these dance styles and fashions with those of the present. Shall we get on the dance floor?
ExplicaDansa is a project aimed at creating and educating audiences, co-directed by Beatriu Daniel and Toni Jodar. It offers key reading tools to make the knowledge of contemporary languages more accessible, as well as inviting reflection and discussion about dance.
