Description
The Brazilian descendants of Africa may have forgotten their original language but rhythm is still passed down through the generations. Afro Fusion mixes different genres and styles of dance such as contemporary, modern and traditional west-African. The main focus of this class is to let go and connect with the music. Adriano isn’t interested in perfect classical technique but rather individual expression and having fun.Performer, Teacher and Choreographer, Adriano Oliveira from Porto Seguro, Brazil trained in both traditional African and Afro-Brazilian dance before joining the dance company “Axè Odara” known across all of Brazil for its experimental research in Afro-Brazilian culture. Adriano arrived in Europe in 2001, settling in Italy via Paris and Berlin, where he concentrated more time on teaching. In 2003 Adriano began work with several not-for-profit organisations, travelling to Burkina Faso to deepen his knowledge of traditional west-African rhythms and percussion. He returns regularly to refresh his training and also to share his own dance training with local artists. In 2016 Adriano relocated to London where he teaches at Danceworks, Brixton House Theatre and Mountview. He has also taught at Kingston University as a visiting lecturer specialising in African Dance. He has been involved in several Arts Council funded projects as well as organising his own non-funded Afro-Brazilian Arts & Dance events.
