Viver Brasil honors Brazil's African legacy through bold contemporary dance theater and increases awareness of the rich history of Afro-Brazilian dance and music through performances, residencies, lectures, interactive workshops, an annual cultural immersion travel program to Salvador, Bahia, and arts education programs that engage a variety of communities from youth to adults and seniors. Through rigorous research and continuous dialogue with living masters and virtuoso musicians and choreographers in Bahia, Viver Brasil is the premier Brazilian dance organization.
