The Moving Group is an informal space for exchanging notes, work in progress, and music and dance experiences, including reflections on our dual roles as researchers and aficionados of the groove.
The Moving Group focuses on Afro-diasporic rhythm cultures. It also fosters dialogue between work on/ practice of African-heritage music, dance and percussion, and work/ practice relating to other music and dance forms.
We bring together academics and graduate students across KCL and London, and use King’s premises and facilities to kick-start activities that then usually branch out to dinner and movement somewhere in the vicinity!
The Moving Group meets on an average of once a semester. It typically takes advantage of visiting academics and dance/ music practitioners and so has somewhat of an ad hoc air about it. We like to think this adds to its charm and spontaneous energies…
