Lots of events in fall quarter!

UPDATED!!!

Mestre Silvinho will visit us on November 17th (thursday), when he will also be a guest lecturer in the Movement and Culture class at WWU; he will have a music class for us at WWU in the PAC, room 27, from 5:30 to 7pm. you can find a map here: www.wwu.edu/map
There will be free parking in the gravel lots south of campus, and then it's only about a 5-minute walk.

Mestre Silvinho will be BACK in Bellingham on November 19th (saturday), for a day of workshops and fun! We will hold the workshop in the Majestic Ballroom underground room; on the southwest corner of Forest and Maple (the entrance is on Maple Street). We plan to start promptly at 12:30, and go until 4:30 or so!

Regular Practice continues to be Mondays at 5:30 in the MultiPurpose Room (MPR) of WWU. Everyone is welcome! wear comfortable clothes. a yellow shirt, black/dark pants are preferred, and wear comfortable shoes!

FICA in Seattle has regular practices in Seattle other times in the week, but especially on Sundays from 4 to 6. Their studio is on King Street and 8th avenue, in the international district, a couple of blocks away from the train station. They have open rodas the first sunday of the month at the same time and location.

we might also be lucky enough to get a visit from Mestre Silvinho's Mestre, Mestre Jurandir, the last week in November. be on the lookout for more details.


Finally: there are initial plans for a gathering of all groups in FICA Northwest (Portland, Olympia, Seattle, Bellingham), in January, tentatively Sunday the 15th, tentatively from 10 to 6. The details are still being worked out, but stay tuned... and yes, there will be a carpool!

Non-capoeira events:

Keith Doran (who has kindly joined us to play djembe during one of our rodas) teaches a west-african drumming class at the Old Foundry every Monday and Wednesday starting at 7pm

Oi gente!

I am moving to Bellingham soon and would love to get involved with your group. I trained with Profesor Japa (Senzala) in Hawaii and fell in love with capoeira!

Is it possible to take the classes and not be a WWU student? I plan to attend school next year, but it would be fantastic if I didn't need to wait until then to play!
