    Capoeira Angola, North America

Capoeira Angola, an ancient martial art of African origin, is one of the many cultural weapons used to break the chains of enslavement in Brazil. Played close to the ground, Capoeira Angola combines fluid, dance-like movements with kicks, head butts, tripping sweeps and the appearance of playfulness or vulnerability. Music is played on traditional instruments to accompany the players, to teach the rhythmic heart of the art, and also to mask its power. In the eyes of the enslavers it appeared to be a joking and playful acrobatic dance, but eventually its power was realized and Capoeira was outlawed. Death was the penalty paid by those caught playing Capoeira during the slavery era. For almost 400 years Capoeira Angola was taught and practiced in secret, and only in the 1930's did this African martial art become legal to teach and practice.

Fazendo os espetáculos pelas estradas afora, comecei a perceber que precisávamos poder estabelecer outras formas de comunicação com o público: formas de conhecimento, de troca de experiência. Precisávamos de uma escola. Nesta escola queremos pensar movimento, experimentar movimento, disciplinar, conscientizar, respirar e sensibilizar o corpo que pensa, muda, sente; que dança. Sempre acreditei na criatividade e irreverência. A concentração, disciplina, formação e o foco são a base e a possibilidade criativa de qualquer indivíduo.
A escola oferece cursos em todas as áreas relacionadas ao movimento, além das aulas de teatro, filosofia, anatomia, história da dança e eventos como exposições de artes visuais, leituras e recitais de música, integrados a dança num esforço de ampliar o horizonte dos nossos alunos.
Todo mês de janeiro e julho o Centro de Movimento Deborah Colker inclui em sua grade uma colônia e cursos especiais. A intenção da colônia de férias é ser uma escolinha de arte, oferecemos diversas atividades corporais integradas ao teatro, a dança, a música e as artes plásticas.
