POETRY WORKSHOP

8 meetings online - Coordinated by Julieta Lerman 

From February 6 to March 26 |  19:30 until 21 hs

 

Poetry in a broad sense: as a way of looking, of perceiving and linking things, a different way of using language that opens us to new senses, where the game and the playful attitude is always welcome. To find one's own tone of voice to tell and give things the name one believes they have, as the writer Juan Forn says.

The idea of the workshop is to create a space to share, exchange and accompany the creative process of each one. We will read poems, fragments of novels and essays, see paintings, photographs, listen to music... We will explore the universes proposed by each artist and use different triggers to stimulate writing. Beyond the slogans, whoever has written material is invited to share it.

I go through the air

with a hand

guided

by the breath

of an angel who insists

to seek

what is hers.

Argentine Tango Workshop
Come danse tango and celebrate a cultural experience!

In this introductory tango workshop, we will work on body awareness (proprioception), the tango embrace and connection. We are going to discuss the two roles that form the dance couple to better understand the dialogue between the two people when it comes time to dance. It is not necessary to bring tango shoes.

Offered by Laura Carli and Alejandro Villalobos
8 classes with the two teachers.

Starts: October 10, ends November 28d. 
Schedule: 7. 30 pm to 8,45 pm

Children's Choir in Spanish

Legados seeks to expand and enrich its children's choir class by exploring and discovering the soundscapes of Latin America. A choir is a space of coexistence and permanent dialogue, and it is in this space that we want to forge new bonds through music. Children between the ages of 7 and 16 will find in the Legados Children's Choir a space to develop their vocal resources, discover new musical genres and cultures through a quality musical experience through singing.

Music in childhood is not only an excellent pedagogical tool for the musical education of children, but in an environment such as Montreal, it also contributes to strengthening the socio-cultural fabric and helps create spaces for empathy and dialogue.

Age: From 7 to 16 years old

Dates: January 10 to June 3, 2022 (20 weeks - concert the last week) - break from February 25 to March 5, 2022.

Pre-audition. No choral or vocal experience necessary.
