Stomping, clapping, slapping and everything in between – this dynamic, high-energy workshop will explore the use of the body as a percussive and vocal instrument. The session will feature a range of rhythmic warm-ups, Afro-Brazilian grooves and vocal/percussive routines. Led by ex-STOMP cast member Alua Nascimento, this will be an invigorating workshop suitable for all, regardless of prior musical experience.

Alua Nascimento  is a multi-instrumentalist, music teacher and performer who studied popular Brazilian percussion and vibraphone at Free Music University of Sao Paulo and classical percussion at Sao Paulo’s Municipal School of Music.

His first public performance was at the age of 8, having learnt percussion from his father, the renowned percussionist Dinho Nascimento.

Based in London since 2006, he is currently doing workshops of Body Percussion and Drumming all over the UK.
