It is inspired by “Carmen, the story" co-published by Editorial Cuento de Luz and INAEM, the second publication of the National Dance Company through CND Educa, your pedagogical department, around the choreography Carmen by Johan Inger and which is part of the CND repertoire, having won the Benois de la Danse prize in 2016. A dancer from the National Dance Company and an art educator from Cross Border enter the IES classrooms with three basic tools: Dance, theater, and the spoken word.
