Beat Tree

Beat Tree is a collaboration between choreographers, dancers and artists committed to exploring all forms of dance, rhythm, poetry, and performance art while staying true to African roots. Their presentations, incorporated with live drumming and spoken poetry, will include a thematic choreo-poem whose theme is centered on “finding place”, “KouKou” a traditional West African piece and “Djorolen” which focuses on the birth/rebirth cycle of life. The pieces presented will be a fusion of traditional West African dance with contemporary elements.
