Masks of self workshop
Masks of self workshop - led by Artist Robbi Carvalho and Dance Therapist Sarah Dos Santos
When: Saturday 22 March
Time: 10am - 2pm
Location: Franklin Arts Centre
'Masks of Self' is a workshop designed to explore Brazil’s cultural roots through art, movement, and dance, focusing on themes of identity and self-discovery. Brazilian culture is a vibrant mix of African, Indigenous, and European influences. Masks symbolise various aspects of this heritage, representing forces of nature, mythical creatures, ancestors, and ceremonial traditions, as well as regional expressions and carnival festivities.
Led by multidisciplinary artist Robbi Carvalho and dancer/dance therapist Sarah dos Santos, the workshop offers a supportive space for participants to explore their identity through painting and movement, grounded in Brazilian cultural traditions.
This 4-hour workshop provides a transformative experience that combines creativity, cultural reflection, identity exploration, and self-discovery. Participants will paint their own masks and learn Afro-Brazilian dance movements.
