Synopsis

"The movement of art" is an educational project that takes an approach to different plastic artists of renown in the history of art, analysing their most characteristic features and making them known through experiential workshops in which dance and plastic arts dynamics are used.

Objectives
To experience the creation of large-format works, placing ourselves inside the work by becoming part of it. To work on the relationship between drawing and dance in a playful and cooperative way. To delve into the work of several well-known artists. To unleash the representative value of drawing, recognising it as an extension of the body's movement. Use dance to assimilate knowledge in an experiential way. To make dance an accessible practice for people who are not related, understanding that the value resides in the genuine movement of each one and not in the form or the technical and virtuoso skills. To introduce dance technique and the basic principles of movement applied to performance. To raise awareness of the mechanics of the motor apparatus and to explore the possibilities of the body in space and the interrelationship with rhythm and time. Explore and investigate the concepts and qualities of movement as tools for stage composition. To develop compositional and interpretative creativity, making students responsible for facing the physical and creative requirements that may appear in their learning process. Establish the relationship between dance and the other languages that form part of the performance and the show. To encourage personal creation, generosity and sincerity in classroom work.
 
Biography
 
MOVART
MOVART is formed by Lola Lloberas and Marina Cánovas, the former a dancer and the latter a visual artist. Together we have created a research, creation and dissemination project on the relationship between the visual arts and movement, which aims to delve into the work of several artists from the history of art in an experiential and cooperative way. Our work consists of identifying the characteristic traits of the artists and, based on these, investigating what they are like and transferring them to movement in order to create works that are visually similar to theirs. For 4 years we have been carrying out workshops in a large number of schools with children and teenagers from 9 to 18 years old. In each of these workshops we work on an artist from different styles and periods. In order to get inside the artist we want to work with, we take care of the stage where we will create, by means of the play of light that often becomes an essential part of the plastic work.
