About
The artistic development of Fanta Konatê occurred thanks to her family and the ballets she was part of in Conacry. During her first professional decade, she put to practice her gift of teaching in Guinea to Africans, as well as foreigners from all nations that regularly attended workshops organized by Famoudou Konatê and Ibro Konatê.
Dance and percussion clinics and workshopsFanta Konatê and Troupe Djembedom carried out clinics and workshops of Guinean dance and percussion using their own methodology which consigns expressions of daily life in villages and capital, Conacry.Geographical approaches to history, and ethnicity, come before the physical warm-up done together with all workshops participants. Subsequently, the dance and percussion students work in separate groups and cultivate technics and comprehension of the language of each subject. At the end of each day, everyone comes together once more to live out and apply the synergy communication between bodies and the sounds of the drums.
Guinean dances are exceptionally beautiful and suggestive. Exposing scenes of daily life and long-descending customs, whose past are recreated and multiplied in a dynamic and contemporary progression. Every day new steps are conceived and learned, these are drawn by the interaction among villages, ballets and celebrations in Conacry. |
