five days to dance
|
Wilfried van Poppel and Amaya Lubeigt two dance professionals, come to San Sebastián center to carry out his project: dedicating a school week to create a choreography with high school students. During these five days, they stop classes and group dynamics change. Dance compels these young people to break with the usual roles; suddenly, they are in unknown territory. In just five days they learn many things, not just about dance, but about life.

When I saw Rafa Moles and Pepe Andreu's documentary I could not help feeling how flowed emotions as the images follow and follow, first because I felt very identified with children and adolescence I lived and suffered where channeling my emotions and my identity did not have the most appropriate channels. In addition to the family atmosphere, the traditional school perhaps owes much to the scholastic legacy, being the most important to develop intellect. Physical skills were not too important in the curriculum and social life each person sought. In the religious school that I attended had no influence beyond academic achievement.
The proposal of these two dance professionals is that students suspend all activities from Monday to Friday and immerse themselves exclusively in the assembly of a choreography to be presented at the theater on the last day of the week in front of parents, friends and teachers . I invite you to the demolition of many internal and external barriers and hence irreversible transformation in some cases for some of the participants. |
