Are you curious about the world of performance? Looking for an opportunity to challenge yourself? Want an experience where you can express, listen, and share?
Four projects are opening their doors to people of all ages and backgrounds, with no prior experience required. Bodies, voices, and imaginations will come together to explore new ways of being, feeling, and existing in the world.
If you want to participate, engage, and make your voice heard, now is the right time. Take the floor.
Are you interested in exploring new ways of inhabiting the Earth? Are you involved in activism, science, art, or do you simply feel the need to rethink the relationship between humans and the environment?
The School of Mountains and Waters is looking for participants aged between 18 and 65 years old to join a journey of shared practices, dialogue, and listening. The project invites us to unlearn the modern and colonial idea of the human being as a separate entity from what sustains life, in order to rediscover caring connections between human bodies and those of mountains, glaciers, and waters.
The school proposes an ecology of knowledge forms, interweaving Indigenous wisdom, scientific research, and artistic practices, to recognize mountains as living bodies actively involved in the reproduction of water as life.
The project is conceived and led by choreographer Amanda Piña, together with Juan José Katira Ramírez, Michel Jimenez, Sofia Cardona Parra e Rocío Marano, the team behind Danzas Climáticas, performance presented at Oriente Occidente Dance Festival.
