La Danza en Busca de la Luz aims to bring together in a transversal, empathetic and playful interaction the students of the schools and institutes of Fuenlabrada with María Pagés, El Arbi, stage directors of De Sheherezade and Olga García, lighting designer of the show. They will be accompanied by the whole company.
The María Pagés Choreographic Center of Fuenlabrada takes this necessary step convinced that the authors of lighting must be recognized and dignified as creators, since the act of lighting in the world of dance, in particular, and in the performing arts, in general, is not only about projecting a mere light on a stage.
Indeed, the action of lighting is a creative activity that analyzes, interprets and translates choreographic and dramaturgical ideas and concepts through a poetics of light and movement. It is the result of a dialogue and a constant and richly nuanced interaction between what the director conceives and imagines and the ability of the illuminator to realize it and make it possible. Choreographers and lighting designers make the light look for the settings, the contexts and the sensations to be transmitted, placing at each moment the effect or the color needed to achieve it. It is, in short, the symbiosis of two creative intelligences in search of the same rhythmic idyll.
Dance in search of light
The objective of the workshop is to make young people aware of the benefits of dance as an integrating art. The art of dance can undoubtedly offer values of maturity to young people and community cohesion to all. The children and adolescents in this workshop will be the protagonists.
From the Centro Coreográfico María Pagés we want to develop and encourage new channels of knowledge and learning through which teenagers can experience the wonderful sensation of the creative process of flamenco dance.
In addition, what we can learn through flamenco dance and its arts will help students to acquire the necessary tools for inclusive socialization: live participation in teamwork, assertiveness, self-image, body awareness, empathy, solidarity, problem solving, resilience, rigor, discipline, communication and creativity, among others.
