One of us

It is a public awareness-raising workshop that it is aimed to different groups away from the dance, such schools and groups at risk of social exclusion.

There will be daily or weekly workshops with the aim to develop the critical capacity of the individual. All of them will be taught simple,initial and basic steps and concepts in order to create a dance piece. After the workshop they will get an opportunity to present the learnt choreography on stage.

Destination of the contribution

In the association we never stop working and searching ways to raise the money needed to carry out this project. This was possible thanks to a diversity of events such as the Inauguración Gala organized January 10, in the Espai La Rambleta at Valencia, awareness workshops in la Mostra escènica de La Pobla de Vallbona,in schools as of the CEIP Vicent Ricard i Bonillo(Benetusser), and Easter workshop for dancers that professional dancers Laura Bruña and Diana Huertas taught. These events have helped us raise a portion of the budget needed to cover:

  • Residence of 12 dancers

  • Rent artistic residence

  • Salary, teachers,rehearsal director and technical team

  • Travel expenses to shows

  • Costume

  • Copyright( music)

  • Social security rights and 12 dancers scholarship

  • Rental management and advisory expenses

The Verkami campaign will help us to support the rent of rehearsal Studios and accomodation of the 12 dancers (two flats during three months).
