Soad Ibrahim (Italy/Egypt)
She specializes in gypsy and north-African dance. She is also a dance-therapist. She grew up between Italy, Greece and Egypt. She now lives in Palermo working mainly in dance projects related to social inclusion and the mother-child relationship world.
These workshops are conceived as a cultural/artistica trips: a rich holiday in which to see, to listen, to get to know and to share is part of the experience.
We all sing differently but we can blend in resonance, harmony and rhythm. Our voices and bodies can connect us to ourselves and with others.
The workshop with Theresia and Soad will transport us to taste the flavour of various cultures, exploring the group’s vocal sonorities and dynamics. The use of the body dancing will be a wonderful experience of exploration and sharing!
All people are welcome, it is conceived for all levels.
