5. Latin American Popular Choir: Voice, Body, Flow
Explore the connection between voice, body, and performance! Integrating music with movement, performance awareness, and collective expression, Federico Trindade draws on the rhythmic vitality and expressive richness of Brazilian and Latin American musical practices.
Combining vocal work with body percussion, physical awareness, improvisation, and activities designed to deepen musical sensitivity, while using VOPA (Vocal Painting) as a conducting tool, you will engage in real-time musical direction, sharpening responsiveness and group interaction while developing a stronger sense of collective awareness. Foster a more intuitive connection to music-making through the exploration of groove, texture, pulse, flow, and the shared energy of performance.
