Baladi Workshop with Tiffany Madera Miami Dade College Kendall Campus

Baladi means Country in Egypt. It can describe a person, homeland, rhythm, dance, or various aspects of life.
As part of Live Arts Miami and Hanan Arts’ Shimmy Shift Pivot initiative, participants will engage in an intensive exploration of their bodies through the Baladi technique as well as critical dialogue around the issues and themes of the Shimmy Shift Pivot program including race, politics, and identity. The intensive will include discussion, reflection, and writing guided by prompts, improvisation, and interactive exercises. Movement is anchored in the Baladi technique, an Egyptian women’s folk and social dance which will be examined through an intersectional feminist framework.
Open to all levels.
Shimmy Shift Pivot is a thought-provoking webinar and workshop series that engages leaders in the arts and academia to tackle divisive issues such as race, colonization, identity, and gender violence as they are experienced through the lens of dance. It is an interactive, safe space for uncensored honest dialogue that builds community through deeper understanding.
