Masters Tchydjo and Tacainã of the
Kariri-Xocó tribe of Brazil
|
Workshop on the Toré
On Friday, November 19, 1999 Masters Tchyjo and Tacainã gave a
workshop on the Toré, the ritual song and dance of the
Kariri-Xocó tribe of Brazil. The ritual features dances and songs
based on the rhythm of the maraca, and is used on festive occasions as
well as for healing and curing purposes. The Toré has been taught
and performed outside the tribe as a form of therapy and self-knowledge.
The workshop, which was sponsored by the Institute and the Department of
Performance Studies at NYU, took place from 2-5 PM in the Studio of the
Performance Studies Department.
