ADRIANA SUELY QUEIROZ RIBEIRO
Drica Ribeiro, an artist from São Paulo of Amazonian origin, began her studies with music, singing, and piano at the age of four. Along with formal studies, she received influences from indigenous songs and dances, riverside and caboclo through constant trips to the place of origin of her family. At the age of sixteen, she began playing the guitar as a self-taught man and, a few years later, fell in love with the Indian devotional songs in Sanskrit and Malayam, a language spoken by her Guru in South India. In this country, she learned about the immense depth and sonority of Indian mantras. Since then, she has traveled with her Guru, collaborating in her humanitarian projects for world peace and balance of the planet in different parts of the world. She traveled through India, Thailand, Portugal, Spain, the USA, Finland, Italy and Brazil, where she received different influences from the ancestral songs and dances of these countries. In India, she established herself for a few months and took singing lessons in Sanskrit while also studying the harmonium. In Brazil, she studied one of the seven forms of art in classical Indian dance, the Kathak, for 7 years. She then decided, after returning from all these journeys, to rescue the primordial sonority and pulsation, linked to her deep ancestral Amazonian roots, making the bridge of this work with the Orient, dance and mantras. She traveled through Brazil and Europe, performing performances combining singing, dance, sacred percussion and ancestry in fusions. Currently, she is a master’s student in Performing Arts at Unicamp. Graduated in Physical Education and postgraduated in Yoga with recognition from the General Consultant of India. Postgraduated also in Acupuncture by Etosp. Formed as an instructor by the Association of Chi Chi Pai Lin in São Paulo. Acts with oriental and energetic body techniques since 1998, such as kung fu, tai chi chuan, yoga, dance and meditation, applying oriental concepts to Western body work. Her art proposals are linked to the study of the body, dance and movement combined with the Eastern body arts in dialogue with other arts such as drawing, painting contextualizing with the body, the landscape and nature. It develops an in-depth study of ecoperformance, activism through art and the ritualistic character of dances and performances in resonance with interculturality and ancestral rhythmic matrices.
