The Silvestre dance technique was founded by Brazilian dance master Rosangela Silvestre as an extension of the spiritual dance traditions of enslaved Africans.
Their culture quashed by Christian slavers; enslaved Africans continued to practice their traditions covertly.
The Silvestre technique is a modern effort to connect the present with the past with a goal to heal.
Developed to help persons in the African diaspora process their heritage through somatic expression, the method is rooted in traditional tribal dance practice.
In this book, author Tamara LaDonna Williams archives the Silvestre practice and highlights the importance of understanding self-capacity and capability.
The applied theory of the dance technique is explored through a series of interviews, physical practice and training.
