Current events
Kupala Night, which is the traditional night of the Slavic pagans, during which they danced around a bonfire, this year falls on 20.06. Unfortunately, it’s Thursday, and since we have prepared a special treat for you, we are moving the Kupala Night to Friday to celebrate it in an unusual way until late at night.
It will be an evening of drums and concerts of African and blues music along with a lot of dancing!
What do African and Slavic pagan traditions have in common? Well, they are circle dances, rituals, building a sense of community that everyone can join, and a free dance in which everyone expresses themselves.
Therefore, this time we cordially invite you to:
- A DRUMMING WORKSHOP - BUY TICKETS HERE
Drumming workshop with Mark Malinowski, during which you will learn traditional African rhythms to play on the djembe and which are still danced today in Afro and blues. This workshop will be held on the beautiful patio of the Konsulat Kultury, so let's stay in this summer night and play outdoors.
2. A DRUM CONCERT
A concert by 3 drummers from the former lineup of the Cocodjembe band led by Mark Malinowski, during which you will be able to dance on the stage of the wonderful Konsulat Kultury theater.
3. AN AFRICAN DANCE LESSON
An introductory lesson in African dances with an outstanding afro dancer and teacher from Warsaw, Viola Wojciechowska, during which you will learn the basic Afro moves from West Africa and how to participate in an Afro dance circle and dance jam with other dancers from our community.
4. AN AFRICAN DANCE PERFORMANCE
Demonstrations of African dances and blues dances performed by instructors of international stature, coming from Poland (Viola Wojciechowska), Canada (Dan Repsch) and the United States (Flouer Evelyn).
