About this Event
Take a break from the usual holiday season and step into the ancient world of Bulgaria’s Kukeri—a winter tradition filled with music, movement, masks, and ritual.
In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how people experienced winter long before modern holiday traditions and how those experiences shaped music and celebrations. Through the Kukeri tradition, we’ll discover how rhythm, sound, and movement can express everything from fear and courage to joy and hope.
Then, we’ll bring these traditions to life. Beat drums, ring bells, and create your own mask as we explore the sounds and rituals of this winter tradition.
Come curious, get a little creative, and connect with an ancient way of celebrating the winter season.
