Project or event title
Capoeira Workshops for Renton Youth
Brief project description
Arts discipline: Folk/Heritage/Traditional Arts
Capoeira Life will provide a series of free Capoeira workshops for youth in Renton. Capoeira is an African-Brazilian cultural art form rooted in traditions created by
captive Africans as expressions of resistance, resilience, and cultural survival during times of slavery in colonial Brazil. The project will integrate movement, music,
and history into a dynamic, participatory practice. The project will include approximately 14–16 one-hour workshops designed to be interactive and participatory,
serving approximately 20–25 students per session. Students will learn foundational capoeira movements, rhythms, cultural context and the traditions of the
collaborative capoeira roda (circle). This program increases access to arts education for youth who may not otherwise have opportunities to participate in culturally
diverse performing arts.
Exact program dates will be determined in coordination with school partners following award notification.

What is the amount that you are requesting from
the Renton Art Grants Program?
The Renton Public Arts Program is committed to broadening the scope of arts programming and connecting with underserved populations in the
City of Renton and the broader community. Please detail what steps you plan to take to connect with underserved populations in the City.*
Capoeira Life's mission is to use the teachings of Capoeira Angola to physically and mentally empower individuals from under-resourced backgrounds. With this
project, we will partner with Renton-area public schools to provide free, in-school Capoeira workshops during the school day, ensuring access for students who may
not otherwise be able to participate in arts programming due to cost, transportation, or scheduling barriers. By embedding programming directly within schools, we
reach a broad and diverse student population, including youth from low-income households, immigrant and multilingual families, and communities historically
underserved.
Our programs center African-Brazilian cultural traditions of Capoeira Angola, offering students opportunities to engage with art forms rooted in resistance,
resilience, and cultural expression. Instruction is designed to be inclusive and accessible to students of varying physical abilities and learning styles, with
opportunities to participate through movement, music, and group collaboration.
We work closely with school staff and family liaisons to ensure programming aligns with community needs and is responsive to the students being served. By
offering workshops at no cost to students and families within familiar school environments, we remove common barriers to participation and create meaningful
opportunities for youth to engage in culturally relevant arts experiences.
