Workshop: Nadia Beugré
How to "shrift", how to bounce back from the obstacle, the unforeseen, the unexpected, how to adapt, to bypass. Shrifting, a neologism invented by Nadia Beugré, is a common practice in most of African countries where citizen-magicians invent their survival every day. Listening to others, to the music of bodies, to space, but also to the invisible, the participants will learn to confront what was not foreseen or expected, to let it go in order to embark towards other destinations, other journeys.
Nadia Beugré was born in 1981 in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire. She was first trained in traditional dance and then became a founding member of Béatrice Kombé's pioneering all-female ensemble TchéTché, with whom she toured Africa, Europe and North America. She later turned to modern dance, taking choreography classes with Germaine Acogny in Senegal and at the Centre Choréographique National de Montpellier. She soon staged her own productions, but also danced in works by other choreographers, such as Seydou Boro, Alain Buffard, Dorothée Munyaneza and Boris Charmatz. In 2017, Nadia Beugré began a five-year artist residency at De Vooruit in Ghent.
