RHYTHM IS THE CURE

RHYTHM IS THE CURE
A Healing Dance and Percussion Workshop

Presented in honor of the yearly tradition of Carnevale from Montemarano, Italy

Conducted by Alessandra Belloni

Experience the healing power of tarantella rhythms and dance with internationally renowned singer, percussionist, and teacher, Alessandra Belloni, featuring Southern Italian ritual dances used as music and dance therapy for centuries throughout the Mediterranean.

The purpose of this workshop is to introduce general audiences to a very rich tambourine and folk dance culture with an active current performance practice in Southern Italy and also to bring women back in touch with their lost drumming tradition.

Participants will learn the unique style of tambourine playing and the ancient healing trance dance of the tarantella, used to cure the mythical bite of the tarantula. The workshop focuses on releasing blockages of energies, breaking the imaginary “spider web” of the subconscious. Students will begin each session with drumming followed by 90 minutes of dance. Students will learn the variations of the basic 6/8 rhythm of the Tarantella that originated as music and dance therapy to cure the mythical bite of the tarantula.

Friday, February 27th, 6:00 – 9:00 P.M.
