Program Full
In this study abroad program, students will travel to Itu, São Paulo, Brazil, and we will spend 10 days participating in digital film and dance activities exploring the ideas of storytelling and movement. Before we leave, students will participate in weekly meetings during the spring semester to help prepare to travel and orient them to Brazilian culture (e.g., norms, Portuguese language, movement, historical contexts). During our travel to Brazil, we will participate in cultural excursions, digital film practices, and movement experiences including the Brazilian martial art capoeira and forró dance from local instructors passing forward these rich art forms.
