MONDAY FEBRUARY 11TH.
First session.
The first session is dedicated to dance, the choreographic exercise will serve as a pretext to investigate epistemological problems.
In dance we experience the need for space and time as a necessary condition for its development.
Dance, as an exercise that requires a tempo and a space for its development, will facilitate a dialogue about time: Can we move without time? Is it possible that time passes if nothing moves? where is the time ?.
MONDAY FEBRUARY 25TH.
Second session
For this session we will see an animated short film called: 'The smoke seller'.
From it we will work on the subject of truth and lies as a moral problem.
Should we always tell the truth? Who am I cheating when I lie?
Telling the truth is a highly valued attitude in our society and children are well aware of it.
Thinking about its value makes us understand it better and be more aware of the implications of our actions.
In this session we want to reflect on the pious lie.
MONDAY, MARCH 11
Third session
In this session we will work on art.
First we will draw and then we will expose images of photographs that contain the same theme.
The dialogue will revolve around whether beauty and effort are united.
If so, the painted drawings should be more beautiful than the images, but are they really? What is beauty? Is there beauty outside of art?
Beauty is a quality that we relate to art, however, we can accept an art of the ugly and value as beautiful other objects of nature.
But what is really beautiful? Is it possible that something is beautiful for me but not for others? Can we be attracted to non-beautiful objects?
