1st Encounter of Dance and Scenic Creation. Tribal Dances and techniques and styles of modern dances. Keops Guerrero. Barcelona 2010

Techniques and Styles of Modern Dances
Marta Costa (Barcelona, Spain)
Hip Hop has been the detonating to initiate a search towards the encounter with her body, her movement and her way to perceive and to approach the dance.
Her trips to India and Brazil, have opened her perspective of the dance, but mainly of how introducing herselves of organic and existential way to this.
Through psychosomatic emotions and exercises, Marta takes to the dancer to move in the space. Something must happen within one to initiate a dialogue with the surroundings, the energy, with the rate, the time, and all those requirements that make of the dance a complex abstract language that goes beyond the words.
Metaphor, contact, stimulus, origen and connection, were some of the bases on which the actions were laid the foundations to which take Marta to us to be able to discover that without thinking it, all we go in the same boat.

The workshop was made up of dynamic of exploracióm and investigation of the movement from exercises of tone muscles, action, dynamo-rates, space and anatomical conscience on the basis of the planes that conform the tridimensionality and the segmentation of the body in head, chest and hips
The use of time and transition between the movements, as well as improvisation exercises, were indispensable in the formation and creation of the language and structures of the assembly.

Short stories of freedom. Modern and Contemporany Dance. Keops Guerrero. Barcelona, Spain. September 2009

Three years ago I created a work of dance and titled theater “Short Stories of Freedom”, conformed by three monologues and three single ones of dance, to present display it in the facilities of the center of social readjustment denominated “La Modelo”, that is in the city of Barcelona, Spain.
This year I participated with the same work in another center from readjustment to the outskirts of called Barcelona"Cuatro Caminos".
Throughout this and other experiences I have questioned several things as far as the coercion systems, imprisonment and supposed readjustment that no longer proposes the state in Mexico but throughout the world or at least in the western cultures to close a little plus the circle, They are really necessary? They work? Who is responsible, the delinquents or the total population? The victims or the victimarios? Exists as much a point of reflection and conciliation by the transgressors, as by the society?
The paper of art and culture within the pedagogical, psychological, psychosomatic programs, etc., proposed for the centers of social readjustment must be inserted like a basic necessity for the development and understanding of the human being after a violent action or transgressor, or to way of appreciation, execution or education; the society generally we must consider that by very high that is the crime committed by a citizen, it does not turn it into its totality in a monster, is only a human being harnessed in its violent, unconscious side or both, reason why like resemblances in species, is our responsibility, to understand, to participate and to propose at human level, the true conscious and responsible readjustment to the society. The violence is not mitigated with violence.

Miloupartout Project in Barcelona, Spain. La Makabra. Keops Guerrero 2009.

The Moving Stage Project Miloupourtout is an intercultural performance project foryoung artists. It has been developed in order to provide performers (e.g. from dance,theatre, acrobatics and pantomime) the possibility to present their work in several regionsin Europe on a moving stage. Hence, we shall create a multicultural evening variety showwith artists from several different countries. During several days of workshops andrehearsal, the participants can collect new impulses for their pieces. The final eveningprogramme will consist of a variety show which is created of several groups with up to30 participating performers variety show. After the event the artists will have thepossibility to further exchange ideas and techniques.

In order to create a dynamic and moving variety show, a core group of performers willtravel from Berlin to Porto via Barcelona between mid October and the end ofNovember. Thus the conception and performative usage of the mobile stage will renderpossible to present shows independently from the local performing spaces, often insurprising locations especially scouted by us!

With a close proximity to the melodious name of Miloupourtout – a fantasy name whichhighlights the playful, dynamic and connecting spirit of our project – we intend toprovide an intercultural and transnational artistic platform, which shall leave behindprejudice and national stereotyping. We intend to build cultural bridges by bringingtogether people from different national, artistic and disciplinary backgrounds. Throughthis exchange, we learn from each other by intern workshops, which reflect the creationin our variety show. This show is characterized by the different – performative – accentsof people from all over Europe. We further want to stress not only the phase ofperformance, but also the post-production through interactive and dynamic ways ofparticipation. This will also continue after finishing the tour, as we wish to create aninter-European space with a close network for future projects such as workshops and jobplacements in the artistic area.

International day against homophobia in Los Cabos, México. Keops Guerrero. May 2009

On Sunday 17 of May carried out in the facilities of the house of the culture of Cabo San Lucas, BCS. The presentation of several scenic artists celebrating the world-wide day of fight against homofobia. Beyond being in agreement or not for the minority groups, to this day show us that in our country we are understanding that we must respect and accept to all by an equal; it is a day in which we are against the fear and of hatred. Homofobia is not exclusive of people with heterosexual preferences, within the same heading gay exists a great amount by ricochet and of hatred, for this reason, this day is a reflection for all those that when they listen to the homosexual word to them some type of noise produces, fear, rejection or hatred. We analyze then which is the origin of our evils.Choreography: study for a tree.
