Akeim Touissant Buck is a performing artist, choreographer and artistic director whose cross disciplinary collaborations integrate the expressive capacities of voice and movement. Informed by methodologies of kick boxing, yoga and the Afro Brazilian martial art form capoeira to Caribbean, hip hop and contemporary dance influences, his performances aspire to an orchestral musicality involving spoken word poetry, singing and beat boxing. With improvisation and acute listening at the core of his own practice of vocality and movement, which he calls Beatmotion, the artist embraces the holistic potential of dance to translate the affective dimension of sociopolitical realities. Evoking strong pathos and narrative intensity while remaining accessible and free spirited, Touissant Buck’s work engages audiences as immersive participants rather than passive observers.
