Los Encuentros Internacionales Artísticos Humanistas (2015-2023), un Espacio para Soñar

Abstract

The article aims to discover the great lessons learned by the participants in the International Humanist Artistic Meetings and shows the solidarity and teamwork that are used to maintain these venues with very limited resources. These events bring together dancers, choreographers and dance groups from different parts of the country. The art of movement is the pretext for an exchange with national and international masters of Latin America and, in the heat of the dance, to carry out workshops, performances and discussions. The effort of this initiative is collective due to the fact that several university, community and school institutions work together, achieving a teamwork worthy of highlighting, for the benefit of the populations that through art, have managed to obtain experiences that allow them to undergo dance in a transformative way, with diverse learning both for the workshops they receive with different teachers, as in the participation in joint shows, as well as the interaction that takes place at different times. In more subtle aspects, there is a great intercultural exchange thanks to the mosaic of works that are presented and where current Costa Rica is reflected, which is calypso, which is folklore, which is popular dance, and which is also contemporary dance. Each community shows its artistic work, with pride, as they see all that we are and it is reflected in the Works.
