Musica do Circulo Workshop

In this workshop, we’ll explore the possibilities which arise when improvisation, singing, body percussion, movement, dialogue, play and human connection come together in a flow, where everyone is invited to add their contribution. Presence and listening will be our guides during this collective cooperative musical journey, which is open to everyone regardless of previous musical experience. Our premise being that music is our essential nature and sharing music is an essential part of human experience.
