Professor Fua

  • V

Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

 

We have had Professor Fuá for 5 day capoeira residencies twice in the past four years in addition to having him come for single day residencies. He has become part of our school culture, loved by staff, students and families. This fall I heard students talking on the playground about the best things about school. Fuá was at the top of their list. Another student, pulling up language and a feeling from capoeira while dancing at our fall barn dance, exclaimed, “There’s a lot of axé (positive/vital energy) in this room!”  

Fuá is not only a master teacher of capoeira, able to break its flowing movement, music and meaning into manageable parts while sharing its historical and cultural strength, he also comes with a deep faith in each person’s capacity to approach challenges, develop the discipline to practice and improve skills and bring axé to the community. He is direct and kind in his instruction and students leave each session smiling, reflective and confident, ways of being they carry forward and that pervade the school community across time.
