Second day of activities of Interculturality Reloaded

After some games to wake up, participants have made different exercises to share "movement verbs" that could be used during the final performance of the project and that could allow them to give their best and show their main abilities on the theatre field. Once that was done, they have occupied all the working space to practice different ways of contact improvisation. Moreover, participants had time to work on national teams in order to check the space and route to be used during the project performace and discuss with their leaders how to work on them.

Besides that and different parallel exercises and meetings between participants and leaders, an assembly with all the participants has taken place to share the morning results. This part of the day was closed by practicing again the song “Imagine” of John Lennon (Song that will be used as base of the project performance).

Once participants haved reflected on the previous issues, they met again to work one more time on contact improvisation techniques and answer as a group the question: "What do we want to tell?". To give more power to the final performance, participants have received umbrellas with different colors that will be a complement of their dance and choreography. The same techniques done during the morning, were repeated with the umbrellas. They have tried new roles such as moving, greeting or waving. After giving these roles to participants, the group went to the village centre of Ezcaray. In it´s main square, they made a main rehearsal of the performance with public and interacting with the villagers.

At night, several videos were showed on the seminar room of the hostel about contact improvisation to motivate and inspire participants for the next workshops. 

Out of this hard work, participants have also used their free time to get to know about new cultures and acrobatic movements exchanged among them.
