Summary

S1 Ep6 Dance workshop (Tempo and Rhythm)In this session we turn to time: the internal clocks that live in your breath and pulse, and the external cues that shape how we move. You’ll be invited to listen first, to your heartbeat, your breathing, the quiet rhythms already present in your body, then to use that inner tempo as a guide for movement.We move through simple experiments: syncing movement to breath, exploring snail-slow and lightning-fast tempi, and noticing what kinds of movement each speed invites. Then you’ll make rhythm with your body, claps, stomps, vocal sounds, and feel the difference between sounding a beat and marking it with gesture. After that we bring in outside rhythms: dancing with, against, or ignoring a chosen piece of music, and watching how it changes your choices.The episode also opens up the idea of polyrythm, multiple rhythms layered through the body, and offers a practical challenge: try moving one body part slow while another moves fast. Finally, there’s a long, free exploration without music, so you can discover how many rhythms may already be living in you and how they shape what you want to make.By the end you’ll have a clearer sense of whether rhythm is central to your dance, how external structure helps or limits you, and what tempos light up your curiosity. Bring patience, a willingness to sound silly, and a notebook if you like, this one rewards listening and reflection.Dance workshopExplore, imagine, move.A companion series to PETER, dance with.

Remember the Time: The Hyphy Movement The Red Bulletin In the mid-2000’s a sound emerged out of the Bay Area that would overtake the sonic landscape of hip-hop for a brief but impactful period showcasing not only the music, but also the overall culture of the Bay Area. A culture that changed the way the hip-hop nation danced, dressed, spoke, and even drove their cars. The Lil Jon produced, E-40 helmed smash “Tell Me When to Go” accurately summed up the surface of the Hyphy movement as a music and culture, but the origin is much deeper. Without the independent nature of the Bay Area, Hyphy could have never existed. In Remember the Time: The Hyphy Movement, we take a deep dive into a subgenre, a movement, a culture that though short lived, still permeates across the globe to this very day, influencing some of today’s top performers.Join host, Branden J.
