Ludus Lab with dancer Rujeko Dumbutshena

Rujeko Dumbutshena

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM 2013: LUDUS

Participants will learn movements inspired by traditional Zimbabwean African dance. Ruieko’s class is influenced by her study of West African, Congolese, and ballet techniques a swell as her experience in FELA! The Musical.
She is passionate about teaching the rhythmic intricacies embedded in Zimbabwean dance traditions in a
manner that is accessible to people regardless of their previous dance experience. Students will have the opportunity to internalize the movements and rhythms of a dance form that is rarely performed or taught.
