MAZA – BODY IN WATERS BY ROSELI PARAGUASSU

An invitation to get involved and connect with this primordial element that is Water, through a favourable atmosphere that summons the senses through the sound, visual and bodily stimuli offered during the immersion. An opportunity to broaden the repertoire of knowledge in the field of bodily expressiveness beyond the physical dimension. It is with the body that we express ourselves to the world, we express feelings, thoughts and attitudes. This proposal opens up a range of gestural possibilities, expanding the spontaneity and creativity of each participant in their ways of communicating in life.
