We invited Moncell Durden to Malmö Dance Week. Together with Medea, Malmö University we arranged a Lecture and recorded a podcast.
Dance is more than physical exercise. Dance is learning about cultures and getting to know yourself. Dance educator and Afro-diasporic dance expert Moncell Durden says that “Teaching dance is teaching empathy – dance is everywhere, it comes from everyone.”
In this Medea Vox episode, we talk about hip-hop, cultural appropriation and being h-u-e-m-a-n:
When I say “human beings” I mean H–U–E, hue. I struggle with the concept of black and white. Everyone on this planet is of one color – multiple hues. From the lightest to the darkest. (Moncell Durden)
