BRAZILIAN BODY MUSIC & CIRCLESONG
Another workshop with Charles in Vienna is coming up!
Join him for two days of learning with two focus areas:
1) Body Music and Gestures of Brazilian Dances
Through a vocal and body percussion arrangement of a Brazilian song the participants will be inspired through an approach in which the body is at the same time a percussive, melodic and harmonic event that dances and brings individual and collective stories.
2) From Body Percussion to Circle Song
In this part of the workshop, we will practice various Brazilian rhythms through body percussion and transcribe them into a melodic framework and overlap the voices to make a counterpoint harmonic, thus creating a Circle Song.
Sa 29/03/25 & So 30/03/25
10:00 - 13:00 both days
TanzRaum Igra Wien Mitte, Ungargasse 3, 1030 Wien
