Motions and Dynamics is a Forward Movements initiative, aiming to

creativity.
Urban Dance Performances
Thursday 5 & Friday 6 December
Featuring performances by Femmes Phénoménales, Sarah Bidaw, and Ford Mckeown Larose, these evenings are centered around mixity and its multiple attributes.
Inspired by her upbringing and her practice of arabo-berber and house dance styles, Sarah Bidaw presents a solo called “Al Warda.” “AmalGame 2.0” is a choreographic piece created by Ford Mckeown Larose of Compagnie Forward Movements and inspired by what scientists call Chaos Theory (better known as the “butterfly effect”). “YONI Cypher”, a project of Femmes Phénoménales collective, centres on women artists of any medium who are immersed in hip-hop culture.

MAD Battle Solo
Saturday 7
December
On Saturday 7 December it’s all about the
MAD Solo Battle. Throughout the night, solo dancers will battle it out in a
game of creativity. Taking part in numerous challenges, the artist deemed “most
creative” will have the opportunity to represent his or her art form during the
next edition of Hip Hop Games Concept in Lille, France. Master classes
will be offered by the professional artists of the Art-Track dance company.
This is followed by a creative battle of different challenges between crews and
dance collectives who want to pursue a choreographic career.
