A Cura do Groove: Afro-Brasileira Approaches to Community Healing

A Senior Thesis Production in the Department of Religious Studies

by Katia George

A journey of rhythm, ritual, and transformation, A Cura do Groove is an immersive exploration of Afro-Brazilian approaches to healing and embodiment. Inspired by an in-depth, year-and-a-half-long research project on Candomblé, this workshopped production brings four original pieces to life through movement, poetry, projection, and interactive elements. Shifting perspectives and dissolving boundaries between performer and audience, A Cura do Groove honors the vibrancy of ancestral traditions while inviting a deeply felt, communal experience of groove, spirit, and self-discovery.

The performance will happen in 3 waves:

7:00pm

7:30pm

8:30pm
