Workshop with Muyassar Kurdi
6 Outubro 2018 10h00
Kurdi’s engaging, lively workshops are focused on dance, voice, and theatrical techniques with an emphasis on freedom of movement, spontaneity, meditative improvisation and the relationship between body and voice. She encourages participants to free their voices with wordless song and phonemes and builds interdependence between sound and movement through exercises built on trust, listening and slow, concentrated, ‘soul’-generated theatrics.
