Em Sintonia: Brazilian Rhythm and Movement workshop (morning session)
About this Event
Em Sintonia is a day-long celebration of Brazilian music, bringing together movement, rhythm, language, ensemble playing and live performance in an immersive experience that invites audiences to discover one of the world's richest musical traditions.
Taking place at ICMP London, the event is designed to connect people through participation, celebrating Brazilian music not simply as a repertoire to learn, but as a living culture where rhythm, storytelling, dance and community are inseparable.
The day begins with an open Movement & Rhythm Workshop, led by award-winning samba dancer Iuli Caroline alongside renowned Brazilian drummer and educator Marcinho Pereira. Open to everyone, regardless of musical experience, this joyful session explores how movement and rhythm are deeply connected in Brazilian culture, encouraging participants to experience music physically before even picking up an instrument.
Throughout the day, participants are encouraged to meet, collaborate and make music together. Whether you're attending alone or with friends, Em Sintonia is designed to create new musical connections across communities and disciplines.
Em Sintonia is proudly supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

Comfortable clothes for the morning movement workshop, a notebook if you'd like to take notes, and plenty of enthusiasm!
