“Vary It’s a book to dance together. But it is also a tool to arouse language in our bodies. ” This is how this book, which is also a game, is a game to dance with the possibility of the infinite combination of words and poems. The purpose of the project has been to expand our awareness of how the syntactic structures that make up a sentence can inhabit the body and translate into moving, and vice versa. To do this, they have used techniques typical of dance that help us to know our bodies and establish relationships between choreographic composition and syntactic structures. They have worked with a group of boys and girls between 5 and 12 years old, and from all this process they have extracted a lot of subjects, verbs and predicates that expect them to combine them to create poems, stories, songs, dances, and all The possibilities we can imagine!
The same day we will also present Operations on papera card game designed by the artist Itxaso Corral that plays with the possibility of creating visual poems from instructions of a revealing simplicity, inspired by all the suites and series of visual poems by Joan Brossa. It is also a game that encourages its own rules to invent itself, and use it in the classroom to cause the most unusual plastic combinations, and to practice poetry from an experimental and playful perspective.
The presentation will be an opportunity to get to know in depth the projects and the operation of these pedagogical materials, as well as a meeting place between professionals in the world of education and culture. At the end you can buy the games to play in the classroom, or as a family!
