WORKSHOPS

CIRCULAR offers a workshop of music improvisation, based on the work and experience developed over the last years. The activity, lead by the ensemble director Aixa Figini; is based in the method of Rhythm with Signs.

The Rythm with Signs starts as a language but it soon becomes a musical game where each participant is encouraged to explore their individual musical resources by sharing these with the group and experiencing collective and creative music making. It is a tool that allows to develop our listening, creativity, coordination, appraisal of diversity, understanding of the roles and responsibilities in a group, and acceptance of mistakes as a creative resource. 

This method allows beginners to discover music through an immediate and playful experience; stimulates the more experienced to enhance their musical resources, and provides the professional musicians with an ample range of tools to apply to their performances or to their various artistic, educational or therapeutic projects. 

For these many reasons, this system goes beyond its immediate musical scope, and becomes a powerful tool for social integration and community work. Due to its simplicity and effectiveness it can be applied in different contexts such as music learning in schools, musictherapy activities, workshops in companies and social integration activities in marginal communities. 

The music resources explored throughout the workshops include rhythms and melodies from all over the world, body percussion and vocal exploration.
