The Circle Goes to Salvador, Bahia, Brazil in 2015

The crew of The Circle, a documentary in-progress that presents an evolution of Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art disguised within ritual dance, travelled to Brazil to visit with Mestre Nô during to learn more about the roots of a practice that have spread worldwide.

Dozens of hours of footage capture perspectives on capoeira that will provide students insights into Mestre's history and teachings. The team is in the process of planning content and editing footage. Within the next 12 months a web interactive allowing visitors to digitally explore the material will be released. We're looking forward to sharing with you soon!
