A movement workshop inspired by the cycles of protest and hope. Using sound, props and live music.
Rieckhof-Silva is an interdisciplinary collective exploring movement and costume relationships, Peruvian rituals, and tradition. Both are Peruvian artists living in the UK.
This session aims to enrich our sound, movement, and choreographic exploration with fellow dancers. As a group, you’ll be invited to work with shakers made from Lima Beans – instruments used in the performance Uproar and connected to traditional Peruvian practices. We will explore their texture, sound, and movement, and the the way they influence the body in movement. We will also work with ‘cacerolazos’ – a form of protest in Latin America where people bang pots and pans to make noise and express dissent.
Join Rieckhof / Silva the following week on Saturday 30 November for a sharing of their performance Uproar. Find out more here.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Rieckhof / Silva
A collaboration between two Peruvian immigrant artists in the UK. Carolina Rieckhof (costume and prop designer) and Moyra Silva ( director and movement thinker), met in 2023 in London, and came together in their pain and frustration over the injustice of civilians’ deaths under a dictatorial government in Peru. The collaboration started with SHIFT+SPACE, a performing arts residency, at Theatre Deli in November 2023 – sharing the work in progress of “Uproar”. Their collaborative art practices keep expanding in 2024, taking part of Migration Festival, with community workshop “Pollera, my story”, and sharing a movement session for “The Playground’ at Rambert Dance studios.
