The educational program of Graner is structured around weekly artistic practice in the classroom with an artist, but it also expands with other experiences that broaden the creative universe we offer to students and open new questions and ways of collectively engaging with dance and live arts.
Thus, during the 24-25 school year, students from the two primary schools and the two secondary schools in the neighborhood with whom we work will visit the Mercat de les Flors several times and will also pass through Graner, where they will take part in some movement sessions and also attend as an audience for two proposals we have programmed, which we believe are interesting for each educational cycle. It is also a way to create contexts where different schools meet and can have recognition and dialogue in another space, through artistic practice.
- Subjecte, verb i predicat by CONDEGALÍ B.L. (for primary school students from Enric Granados and Bàrkeno schools) – Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at Graner
- Perdón by Los Informalls (for secondary school students from Montjuïc and Domènech i Montaner institutes) – Friday, March 7, 2025 at Graner.
How can we use the body for learning to read and write? Subjecte, verb i predicat explores the relationship between syntax and choreography. We will learn to name the parts of a sentence, but, above all, to observe and understand what the structures of language cause in our bodies. A participatory proposal that will lead us to embody the words in the form of actions that will become dance.
CondeGalí B.L. is a loving initiative for artistic expansion through which Aimar Pérez Galí and Jaime Conde-Salazar have been launching various research and artistic creation projects for over 10 years, working collectively with other artists and educators.
In reality, we didn’t want to do this, Perdón; we just wanted to dance and lose our minds. We could have left it here, but we liked it too much. Hearts, desires, erasers, pain, smoke, techno, shots, night-time and betrayal. Thousands of hours spent testing, tearing apart, and fixing ideas until surpassing the threshold, where you no longer know who you are or whether you made the right decision. Here, uncertainty becomes a privileged space for provocation and surprise.
Los Informalls is a dance company that functions as a platform for social agitation based on movement and humor. They start from dance and theater to explore uncharted territories, spaces where provocation, surprise, and uncertainty reign. Two professionals of improvisation and absurdity, true Swiss knives of the stage, who enjoy playing with the boundaries between what is established and the most blatant political incorrectness.
