vocabularies that incorporates elements of contemporary and traditional dance styles
- West African, Hip-hop, Orisha dance, Jazz and Modern. Beat Tree's choreographers
combine their movement with spoken word and live drumming to create a unique theatrical
experience. The choreography and prose of Beat Tree speaks directly to our African
Diaspora cultural history and our immediate experiences.
