Percussion and Dance in a privileged environment
As Director of PerkImBa, I have designed a summer course with a complete and balanced format between training and enjoyment.
3 days in which we will share music, movement, practical, pedagogical, artistic and scenic experiences in a privileged natural environment. It will be regenerating after the long academic year.
This summer, we return to the La Plana Foundation.
You will find connection with the group, the nature, the sound and energy of PerkImBa's drums, and at the same time, connection with you, calmness and silence.
A summer course that many repeats because each time is different and with new material. A new experience that you will want to share. All within a quality and recognized training.
Treat yourself to this experience. You deserve it!
Looking forward to keep sharing rhythm, movement and much more :)
See you at the summer course.

Opinions of participants
The formations with Neus Fernández and Perkimba are addictive.
The benefits? A burst of energy reconnecting with music, personal discovery, leaving your comfort zone and moving forward with new proposals.
It is an essential recharge for all music teachers, a breath of fresh air that in July allows us to close the course on a high and face the next September with new ideas.
For me it is an essential appointment.
The human quality that I find in each stage has allowed me to meet fantastic people with whom to share experiences.
Being part of this tribe has always raised my Adrenaline.

Make a "refresh" of the methodology made by Neus, and not only with reference to the content, but also the way to connect and welcome whoever is in the classroom. Diversity is power, and Neus takes it to the maximum exponent.
I would highlight the methodology, the teaching staff, the transversality, the group... I wouldn't finish 😂
A human spectacle: wonder for the body and balm for the soul.
An experience of indescribable empowerment, light and energy. I am very, very grateful for what has emerged these days. Thank you, Neus, you are much more than a reference 😍.
Nora Girbau
Perkimba leaves a mark.
And for me it was an experience that my body continues to remember, since the memory of everything I experienced, learned and shared continues to be an inspiration for my practice as a performer, creator and teacher.
Perkimba is a place of enjoyment, knowledge and creative expansion where the care and love for art, music and people along with how you have transformed your (you Neus) knowledge about your experience as a person and professional make that is exceptional and unique.
Everything happens in-situ, it is a ritual where body, mind and spirit are involved at the same time to live the present moment through pure adrenaline, intensity and happiness, where all the complexity that the fact of understanding the abstract knowledge of music and dance becomes easy and close.
Great experiences like this help us to be more human, strong and good people.
Perkimba is, in short, a catharsis for the senses!😉
Eulalia Berguedà
For me, highlighting the professionalism of the teaching team is something notorious, since it is a masterful combination of humility and simplicity, with a human quality when it comes to teaching, sharing and living together during the course, which has done me much good at all levels.
An experiential course, where the magnitude of learning is a balm for the soul.
Espe Palacios
From the beginning of the trip to the return home, it has been a wonderful and necessary experience to feel more clearly why you choose this professional path. Learn immersed in the dynamics and with a brutal environment.
Perkimba manages to combine professionalism, learning, fun, group connection and personal growth.
Alvaro Moreno
A course to share, learn, enjoy, disconnect. I would highlight the professional and human quality of the trainers. I would keep everything I learned and the diversity of the group. A course with which you enjoy, learn, connect rhythm, body and mind and meet great people.
Mercè Alvarez
It is very useful if you work in something related to the performing arts. You discover new concepts and methodologies and what you already do or know is reaffirmed. Apart from that, you establish personal bonds, enjoy a very good environment and have a really good time. If I can, next year, I repeat.

It was an adrenalitic course, full of rhythmic tools, dance and drumming. A cane!

The PERKIMBA summer course is full of energy! Shared percussion, live music and the sensitivity of the trainers make the magic potion.
