the road so far....

Top: Lixse Aguilar, Venezuela

Botton: CASTADIVA, Argentina

We started a process of community work and performance, that has been confirmed as a potential mine for art research through Descalzos Creativos 2005 "Behind The Threshold" and "Four Temperaments/Four Elements" during summer 2007. Both events have gave us a great reference of success! We had the presence in London and Stourbridge of mime, dance, eurythmy, performancec, painting, photography, printing, music and words. Everything coming from countries like: Venezuela, Uk, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Spain, Japan; working under the challenge of distance, internet possibilities and individual commitment.

Now is the time for Descalzos Creativos 2009, which will have as artists involve: CASTADIVA (Dance, Argentina), PUROPIE Danza Contemporanea (Dance, Venezuela), RAIZ DE AGUA (Dane/Music, Venezuela/Brazil), Fatima Gomez (Dance, Portugal), Darwin Diaz (Dance. Venezuela/Germany), Carolina Restrepo (Visual Artist, Switzerland), Dioberma Diaz (Visual Artist, Venezuela), Shaila Shariff (Photographer, England), Tomie Ando (Eurythmist, Japan), Dio Mock (Visual artist/performer, Germany), Monika Miha'lyfi (Ceramist, Hungary), Joel Aragon (Dancer/Eurytmist, Mexico), Lixse Aguilar (Dancer, Venezuela), Freddy Nanez (Poet, Venezuela), Carolina de Luca (dancer, Argentina).
