This project is the original idea of Tom Norman, but is a collaboration between many people. The Capoeira group, 'Capoeira Angola Palmares - London - Axé' are the key performers. The photographers, video cameramen, post-production team and technical crew have been brought together and very generously donated their time and skills to the development of the project.
It should be pointed out that without the generosity of energy and spirit of the contributors, this project would not have developed to the degree that it has up to this point. The driving force of this project is essentially its community and this is the natural direction for it to progress in.
It is through the making of this communal project that I have realised its potential as a performance; every time we have practised this Capoeira Painting as a group, there has been a palpable and electric atmosphere amongst both the players and the audience - the performance takes on a life of its own through its participants and observers.
