The
QDance Session is a performance lab initiated by the QDanceCenter,
Ikoyi. A semi curated gathering of performers, curious audience,
creative minds, story tellers, seekers of truth, makers of beauty,
workers and students of life amongst others, coming together just as
they are, for a rare moment of sharing and for the purpose of creatively
occupying the "Now".
During
these sessions, dance, live music, improvisations, discussions etc,
will effortlessly converge and intersect, in an air of simplicity and of
spontaneity, that takes on the forms of improvisatory drive, which
blurs the lines between prior compositions and on-the-spot
improvisation, creating an hybrid verb-space where actions speak louder
than words, where memories are expanded through the five senses, where
thoughts are reformed and new meanings are given to known forms.
It
shouldn't be unusual that in an intense city like Lagos, for a small
crowd to assemble on a Saturday evening, for a session of beauty. This
gathering doesn't have the outlook of neither a performance per say, nor
is it an open mic, it is simply a circle which allows the
coming-through of our own inner music, it can be imagined as an open jam
sessions that leads nowhere. Using basic principles of performance, as a
way to look into and examine the growth of human interactions, where
every participant is an important component, in the verb-space, and the
simple beauty of that interaction shall be our bottom line.
