There are two fun workshops coming up in April:
If you need a vacation or have friends who live in Maui or are
travelling there, any help spreading the word is appreciated!
African dance with me (Carrie Acequia) at Studio Maui on April 11th at
11:30 am.
Flight School with Aaron Jessup April 11-13th at Studio Maui.
African dance:
We will be learning different traditional dances from Guinea, West
Africa to live drumming!
Carrie "Acequia" first began her path with African drum and dance in
1999 when she stumbled upon a djembe in a store window in Milwaukee,
WI. The voices of an African choir rose up and a light shone down upon
the tight skin of the drum, and she knew it must be hers. Her love of
the drum quickly intertwined with a passion for African dance.
Since then, Acequia has studied dance and drumming with many master
teachers and completed intensives in Guinea and Mali. Acequia has
travelled all over the world and the United States teaching West
African drumming and dance including New Zealand, New Orleans, New
Mexico, Colorado, and California. She has performed and choreographed
for several troupes in Colorado and California. Acequia would like to
offer much gratitude to the ancestors of the tradition, and her
teachers, Fara Tolno, Djeneba Sako, Abdoul Doumbia, Alseny Soumah,
Yousouff Koumbassa, Marietou Camara, Melanie Berg, and Stuart
Dinwoodie. This is her first visit to the Studio Maui, and she is
excited to offer her enthusiasm, cultural knowledge, and of course,
the sprit of the dance!
Flight School:
April 11 - 13, 2008
Humans were meant to fly, that's why they've been given contact
improvisation!
Join Aaron Jessup for an amazing weekend of community and skill
building on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Maui . First we will
establish a firm foundation of contact improvisation vocabulary, then
we'll use that common language to take our dancing to a higher level.
Flight is a state of freedom; a state of pure joy in both body and
mind. In this weekend we will explore the dynamics, principles and
techniques of safe, unforced lifting and flying. Come prepared to
sweat, play, get upside down, be challenged and have fun! And, as if
that's not enough, it's at the end the whale-sighting season.
Schedule:
Friday night - facilitated open jam
Sat. and Sun - 4 hours of class time each day.
Location:
The Studio Maui on the island of Maui, Hawaii
Date:
April 11-13

Aaron Jessup:
A second-generation professional juggler, Aaron's first movement
discipline was circus acrobatics. However, his first movement love was
contact improvisation, which he discovered in 1990. He has been
teaching workshops and at dance festivals since 1997. A long time
bodyworker (with a private practice in San Francisco), Aaron also
taught for a year at the Boulder College of Massage therapy.
