Circle Songs and Vocal - Improvisation, Andreas Gerber (Switzerland)
Gossip games of different cultures, Rolf Grillo (Germany)
I am very happy that I could invite Estêvão Marques from Brazil to Freiburg for the year 2020. We were both course leaders at the International Summer School 2019 at the Orff Institute Salzburg and got to know each other there. The "spark" was immediately ignited. Together with my friend and colleague Andreas Gerber from Switzerland we are now organizing for the first time: Rhythm Games International Freiburg.

Brazilian Music Games & Body Percussion, Estêvão Marques (Brasil)
A meeting with Brazilian popular culture from the point of view of children.
Estêvão has songs, dances and rhythms that are played at folk festivals, for example, are selected and arranged for pedagogical work in the school/classroom. Join us on a rhythmic journey to Brazil, with body percussion, musical spoons, dance, stories, melodies, humour and playful lightness. This is the great richness of folklore: it is always alive and is recreated again and again in creative play. Estêvão

Cirlce Songs and Vocal Improvisation, Andreas Gerber (Switzerland)
Pure voice: Improvised a-capella music that emerges from the moment in a circle,
without notes, in connection, groovy, harmonious, dynamic, filigree or simply exhilarating.
Gossip games of different cultures, Rolf Grillo (Germany)
There are gossip games in the whole world in the most different variants. They are challenging, bringing people playfully into contact with themselves and others. We play partner and gossip games, singing and dancing.
