Join an improvised choir where music, singing, and body percussion become tools for collective expression through the Rhythm with Signs method.
THE WORKSHOP
Led by Argentinian singer and choir leader Aixa Figini, this workshop uses Rhythm with Signs, a sign language that enables real-time musical improvisation. Participants explore individual and collective creativity through voice, rhythm, and body percussion, learning traditional songs and rhythms from around the world. The sessions foster listening skills, coordination, and creativity, while encouraging participants to embrace mistakes as part of the creative process.
THE METHOD
Rhythm with Signs, developed in 2005 by Argentinian musician Santiago Vazquez, is a sign language for coordinating rhythmic improvisations. Using over 130 hand and body signs, the conductor guides musicians in creating spontaneous compositions. This method is widely adopted in over 30 countries for its pedagogical and innovative approach to music making.
THE TEACHER
Aixa Figini is an Argentinian singer, musician and producer. She holds a degree in Musical Arts from the Universidad de Buenos Aires and a Masters in Arts Administration and Cultural Policies from Goldsmiths University of London. Passionate about music improvisation, Aixa is a certified trainer by Musicians Without Borders, specialising in music for community building. She leads her own Latin American music ensemble and founded CIRCULAR, a female vocal improvisation group in Portugal. Aixa also conducts workshops across Europe, collaborating with conservatories, festivals, and cultural spaces.
