March 11 - capoeira and brazil's history -  peale museum baltimore, md

• March 11
• 1pm - 2pm

In this workshop led by Justin West (Director of the Capoeira Social Project) the fundamental teachings of Capoeira (a Brazilian martial art) will be offered. Covered will be how its history in Brazil (with enslavement) evolved in the 1500s to a Capoeira boom in the 1990s. Participants will practice body awareness before learning traditional movements like the ginga (basic capoeira base), a kick and dodge, and (perhaps) a cartwheel or two. Participants will also experience the instruments of Capoeira (atabaque, a conga like drum, pandeiro similar to tamborine, and berimbau) while having the chance to learn some words in Portuguese. Please come join us for a fun time filled with singing, clapping, movement, and sorrisos (smiles)! All ages welcome! Brazilian Capoeira is featured in Mandy’ Morrison’s exhibition Journey of the Invader Spirit on view at The Peale.
