Circle of stories workshop - led by Artist Robbi Carvalho and Dance Therapist Sarah Dos Santos

When: Saturday 29 March

'Circle of Stories' is a 4-hour workshop for 12 women to explore Brazilian culture through art, movement, and self-discovery. Each participant will decorate a fabric canvas with personal stories, using collage, hand-stitching, and paint, exploring their own identity through creative expression. They will also try movements from Afro-Brazilian danças de roda (circle dances), experiencing the rhythms and movements central to these traditions. Led by dancer/therapist Sarah dos Santos and multidisciplinary artist Robbi Carvalho, the workshop provides a supportive space for creative expression and cultural learning. Open to adult women, it’s a unique opportunity to explore art, dance, and culture in a safe, nurturing environment.
