African Contemporary: Julienne Doko

Julienne Doko is a French dance performer, teacher and choreographer with roots in the Central African Republic, currently based in Denmark. In her dance practice, Julienne explores connections between different dance styles and uses contemporary dance as a space of hybridisation, a vehicle for synergy between dance techniques and expressions. Her movement and dramaturgical line take inspiration from her homelands and the journeys she has taken in between. Julienne has performed internationally with a number of companies, in festivals, TV shows and in musicals.

Class description:

In these classes, we will focus on the rooting principle, which enables us to be centred, connected with ourselves and our surroundings. We will look into some specific movement dynamics such as ripple, momentum, weight shift and foot action. The class is typically accompanied by live music.
