In the last term of the school year, we are in the final stretch of the creative process of the Aina Lanas company with the 3rd-year ESO students of the Institut Escola Antaviana. Aina and Iby have already defined the structure of the piece they will present at Mercat de les Flors, and the sessions of these days serve to rehearse and repeat all the steps, especially to memorize the camera movements that mark the composition and the movement of the performers. It is also the time to decide on the final music and costumes. Although it is an exhausting moment, the students can already glimpse what the final piece will be, and the effort is worth it. The piece combines different choreographic languages, material created by the students, and a Soul Train that makes everyone move. The live video work acts as a second layer that conditions and structures the dramaturgy and the choreographic decisions (both individual and collective) of Aina and Iby.
In the midst of this phase of the creation, we have invited Anna Fàbegra to participate in one of the classroom sessions and take photographs, which reflect the creative process and the current stage of the group and the work.
EN RESiDÈNCiA is a program of the Institute of Culture of Barcelona and the Consortium of Education of Barcelona, created in cooperation with the A Bao A Qu Association, which brings creators to work in the classroom throughout the entire school year. This work, which concludes with the presentation of a piece—this time linked to dance and movement—puts creation, education, and mediation in an intense and meaningful dialogue.
