“During the Artsadmin residency, I will explore the possibility of composition as choreography by the way of hybrid drums, designed and created in collaboration with local drum makers across Algeria and Fuzhou (Southern China) to reimagine drum and rhythmic dissonance as a form of sobremesa, typical in flamenco improvised exchange.” – Sara
