Ari Colares, in the musical area, and Reinaldo Soares, in the area of dance, will be giving two “classes” in which Brazilian rhythms set the tone.
The theme of Ari Colares’s workshop is Living with Brazilian percussion and rhythms. Designed so that it may offer the attendee a playful experience of a musical construction based on improvisation and on the pratice of Brazilian popular rhythms, the workshop will involve the use of several percussion instruments, of different sorts of timbres— animal skins, wood, metals, seeds etc— and pitches—high, medium and low.
In its first part, the percussion instruments will be presented, an emphasis being placed on the pandeiro. After demos have been given by the coordinator, participants will be invited to take part in a collective-created musical piece.
Having a degree in percussion from the Escola de Comunicação e Artes at the University of São Paulo,Ari Colares is a teacher of popular percussion at the Escola de Música de São Paulo Tom Jobim. He has also taught abroad: 22 workshops held in Hong Kong; international Orff courses in Madrid and Salzburg; a two-week course at the Paris festival “Percussions” and a one-week workshop at the “Brazilian week Festival” in Tucson, USA. He has been a Professor at the course of Licenciatura in Brazilian music at the University Anhembi Morumbi since 2008.
