Dance dancing

We know that we are in an exceptional moment, which leads us to the need to reinvent our practices and knowledge. So, art-education emerges as a privileged environment for the experimentation of other ways of being and of relating to the world.

Because, during that online workshop, We will take the current restrictions as a starting point to interrogate the notion of experience. Here, We will start from simple guidelines to discover dance and venture into the craftsmanship of gestures and movements. Through the senses of the body, we will wake up the pleasure of moving, claiming imagination as a process of knowledge, expression and transformation.

In a playful way, we will address various strategies to generate dance, offering resources so that teachers can know and, if you want, share with your students. further, through a curious look, we will ask what dance produces in the body that dances.
