Afro-Brazilian Dance + Music Workshop Series
A workshop series in Afro-Brazilian Dance + Music taught by percussionist, Luciano Xavier and dancer scholar Tamara Williams. The music portion of the workshops will include Afro-Brazilian rhythms of Avaninha, Vasse, Opanije, Ilu and Samba Afro. Dances will include Avaninha, Ogum, Omulu, Iansa and Samba Afro.
Afro-Brazilian Dance explores dances from the northeastern regions of Brazil. The dances found in this region are inspired by the Yoruba, Angola, Nago, Bantu and Akan people of West Africa. Traditional dances including those that symbolize elements of nature (earth, water, air and fire) will be shared with participants. The dances combine at least two rhythms in their movement; movement syncopations can be found in the shoulders, chest, pelvis, arms, legs etc., with the different rhythms in the music. Afro-Brazilian Dance is a study of the connections between the rhythms and the traditional movement, archetype and story, of the elements of nature interpreted as an art form. Afro-Brazilian Dance encourages students to become aware of cross cultural dance by means of investigating the societal development surrounding folkloric, religious and social dance traditions.
