RhythmConsciousness is a learning method that permits a natural
access to rhythm by dancing and drumming in a way everybody
can understand rhythm with his or her body.
On the basis of Afro-Brazilian rhythms and dances the training
imparts a fundamental experience of music and dancing as a consciousness-developing
media.The integral educational approach supports personal learning
processes and opens new inner rooms.
RhythmConsciousnessR was developed by Thomas Ach and Roxana
Jaffé in an intensive ten year cooperation and partnership.
The two year training provides a first entrance into the basics
of the RhythmConsciousnessR-Method. It has the quality of teaching
both aspects of rhythm - dancing and drumming - as one unit.
The completion of the two year program is certificated.
