A Harmonious Duo: Sound and Motion Residency
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands has officially unveiled its 2026 Masters of Crafts season, a celebrated annual program that brings world-class talent to the North Malé Atoll. Opening the season from 19 to 26 January 2026 is a unique “Sound and Motion” residency featuring the powerhouse duo: independent singer-songwriter Madison McFerrinand movement therapist Jacy Cunningham, founder of The Jacy Method.
This residency offers a sensory journey where Madison’s genre-blending “soul-appella” meets Jacy’s transformational movement philosophy, creating a balanced itinerary of emotional expression and physical vitality.
