MACULELÊ WORKSHOP WITH CONTRAMESTRE RAFAEL
Get ready for an exciting cultural experience!
In this workshop, Contramestre Rafael will guide us through the history, cultural roots, movements and traditions of Maculelê.
We will learn a complete choreography, exploring the sequences and techniques together, with the goal of performing a full Maculelê show as a group.
As part of this experience, we will also have the opportunity to create traditional straw warrior skirts and explore the techniques of Maculelê with facões (machetes).
From learning the rhythms and movements to creating our own costumes and performing together, this workshop will be a fun and immersive journey into one of Brazil’s fascinating cultural traditions.
Learn the culture. Feel the rhythm. Become part of the performance!
JOGANDO NO RITMO – WORKSHOP WITH MESTRE LUIZINHO
Discover how different rhythms shape the way we play Capoeira!
In this workshop, Mestre Luizinho will take us through some of the fundamental rhythms of Capoeira, including São Bento Grande de Bimba, Benguela and Angola.
Through practical exercises, movements and guided games, we will explore the characteristics of each rhythm and understand how to adapt our movements, strategies and expressions to the music.
The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of how to play Capoeira according to each rhythm, learning the right approach, timing and body language for each style of game.
An opportunity to improve your game, connect with the music and develop a stronger relationship between rhythm and movement.
Listen to the rhythm. Understand the game. Play with intention.
CAPOEIRA EXPERIENCE (VIVÊNCIA DE CAPOEIRA) – LEARN BEYOND THE MOVEMENTS
Capoeira is much more than movements, techniques and playing in the roda. It is about culture, connection, sharing and learning from one another.
During Semana da Cultura Brasileira, we will bring everyone together at one of Bali’s beautiful beaches for a relaxed and inspiring experience.
A moment to connect with the mestres, listen to their stories, learn from their journeys and share the knowledge they carry. We can explore acrobatics, practice rhythms, learn new songs, create music and exchange ideas. Everything happens naturally, with no fixed rules or formal structure.
Inspired by the Brazilian tradition of oral knowledge, we celebrate the way Capoeira’s wisdom is passed from generation to generation through stories, music, conversations and shared experiences.
Come together, share, listen and discover Capoeira beyond the movements!
