After graduating from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in 2014, Akeim has been immersed in many cross-disciplinary projects working with a range of artists and communities from around the world. His focus as a maker and collaborator is to combine expressive skills such as: dance, poetry, beat-box, singing and acting through performance and storytelling that reach beyond existing dance audiences. His work aims to challenge, enlighten and entertain the spectator or participant. Audiences are not just observers; they are implicit in the experience. Akeim\u2019s work reflects on our reality, looking at ongoing socio-political situations with a humanitarian intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/toussainttomove.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">toussainttomove.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us for a dance class led by Akeim Toussaint Buck which will draw on his explorations of Caribbean and Contemporary Dance elements including: Kumina, Dinkimini, Undulations, Skanking and the richness of Improvisation.
