Fowler on the Town: Bahia Through the Senses
FOWLER | 4 p.m., Brasil Brasil Cultural Center
Originating in 16th-century Brazil, capoeira is a martial art that combines elements of fight, acrobatics, music, dance, and ritual in a fascinating and magnetic way. Spend an afternoon with the Capoeira Batuque Academy for a demonstration and participatory workshop that teaches basic movements and performance. Mestre Amen Santo will lead three workshops sequentially; Capoeira, Maculele, and Afro-Brazilian dance concluding with a ‘Samba de Roda’ to close the night with positive energy and movement. Afterwards, taste an Afro-Brazilian acarajé (fritter) provided by Sabor da Bahia. No experience necessary. Geared for ages 13 and up.
