Event Description
Jeanefer Jean-Charles & Associates present Patois.
Patois explores what happens when two unwritten languages meet: the spoken language of patois (French Creole) and the movement language of dance.
British-Caribbean choreographer Jeanefer Jean-Charles MBE tells a story of lost languages, longing and belonging through traditional Caribbean choreography, contemporary dance and an original music score.
Join us on a journey to rediscover hidden voices and identities that are rooted in dialects that are buried within us as we reawaken stories and generations of the past.
