Brazilian Capoeira Angola
Friday, September 19, 2008
Swasey Chapel | 8pm
Capoeira Angola is a Brazilian art form of dance, music and rhythm focused on the balance between the fight and the dance. Capoeira originates from African ancient oral traditions using a form known as “rodas” (ritual circles.) Cabello Rolim and Tisza Coelho, Co-Artistic Directors, preserve this unique cultural art form by acting not only as dancers but also as musicians. They will be in residence at Denison for the Fall 2008 semester as World Dance guest faculty. |
