Workshop: Exploring Jewish Rhythms in Music, The Brain, & Life

October 5 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm

This is a first ever, interdisciplinary collaboration between musician, composer and educator Zoë Aqua and music neuroscientist, artistic creator and educator Dr. Jessica Phillips-Silver.

We will experience Jewish rhythms from slow and contemplative to fast and joyful, using traditional Yiddish dance gestures and simple, gentle movements to guide us deeper into the music. As we build our rhythmic repertoire, we will also explore the power of rhythm in our brain development across the lifespan, in our physical and emotional bodies, in our collective past and future. Fusing musical and cultural perspectives with and research in music neuroscience and healing traditions, this unique workshop will leave you feeling connected to your own voice and body, to Jewish cultural rhythms, and to the biological origins of human musical rhythm that we share with our entire human family.
