Community Project
Grupo de danza de la Casa de Cultura de Río Grande
We worked with the Folkloric dance group of the House of Culture of Rio Grande. There were 6 work sessions in the community and a final session in the foundation’s facilities, with 20 participants, among young people and adults. The main objective of the project was to introduce the participants to contemporary dance and show them different forms of corporal expression that could be integrated to the typical dances that the dance group performs in their daily lives.
Basic concepts of movement were worked on and they were shown different forms of body warming to activate the whole body at the same time that the residents learned about traditional dance and zapateo techniques. As a complementary part of the project, the choreography of the song”Viva San Pedro Mixtepec” was composed by Marcelo Ruano, an Ecuadorian composer and resident of Casa Wabi, to perform a final presentation at the foundation’s facilities, with the band “Piedra del Pacífico” working with the composer mentioned that made the assembly of the song.
