see. think. dance. + MoAD revive the artist salon to turn up the lights on DANCE.
Local choreographers present solo work with LIVE accompaniment from their favorite musicians.
Each evening wraps up with a discussion + reception to facilitate DIRECT artist/audience exchange.

Each salon highlights a different facet of movement within the AFRICAN aesthetic.
Dancers embody the GENERATIONS through Congolese + Coupé Décalé, Gospel + Jazz, Hip-Hop + Kwaito.
Inspired by the MUSIC, each dancer exemplifies the body as instrument, inviting the audience on a journey.
