We want this MiniFest to be the experience you are looking for.
For this reason we have designed a MiniFest which you can tailor to your skills and interests. In fact, you will be able to choose both the level of the classes you will be attending in the morning and the afternoon workshops among the many our Body Music artists will be offering.
Whether you are a teacher, a performer looking for new inputs, someone keen on world music or eager to explore the possibility of making music using your body, the MiniFest Rome 2020 will have something to offer you!
Choose here the level of the morning classes you will be taking. You will attend your level classes every day from 9.30am to 1pm, as you will be rotating between various teachers.
Read carefully the descriptions of the different levels as shown in the boxes here. Find out which is the one that best suits you, according to your personal interests and your familiarity with Body Music.
How to bring Body Music into the classroom? This level focuses on the use of Body Music in kindergarten, primary and secondary school, as a joyful and accessible way to make music with groups of children and teenagers. A specific attention will be dedicated to exploring strategies to plan and teach body music activities and their possible overlapping with other art forms and school disciplines.
1Have you already done Body Music? Have you already attended other workshops? Do you find yourself already feeling at ease with it, but you want to deepen and expand your relationship and fluidity with this art form? This is your level!
3Are you curious about Body Music but you have not yet experienced it? Do you want to know and enhance your ability to move in time and to produce music just using your body? This is the right level for you!
2Do you consider yourself a Body Musician? Would you love to include Body Music in your artistic practice in a more consistent way? Are you looking for an experience that can give a new input to your expression? The advanced path is the one for you!

Are you ready?
The International Body Music MiniFest Rome 2022 will offer plenty of opportunities to live the experience of making music together and work as a whole group. Beside connecting through dancing or just hanging out, the evenings will make room to enjoy Body Music on stage, whether by sharing with others something you created or learned or by watching other Body Musicians performing.
Some evening time will be also dedicated to host panels aimed at collectively reflecting on relevant aspects related to Body Music.
