28. Musica do Circulo with a Flavour of Brazil
Música do Círculo investigates the rich possibilities that emerge when improvisation, singing, body percussion, movement, dialogue, play, and human connection converge in a unified musical flow, where each participant is encouraged to contribute. Anchored in principles of empathy, authenticity, and cooperation, these immersive musical journeys offer an opportunity to gain insight, acquire practical tools, and develop skills that foster growth as singers and musicians.
Following four days of workshop sessions, you will share your experiences in a culminating performance. This event will integrate improvisation, collective creation, audience engagement, and composed music, celebrating the inherent musicality within each of us.
