SOON.... "RESPECT" Barefoot Creatives 1st event in Venezuela. 2012

INVITATION: Barefoot Creatives will bring a new creative venture to Mérida, Venezuela called "RESPETO" (5th Barefoot Creatives in this world but the 1st one in Venezuela)... it’ll be based on artistic interpretations as an answer to the present lack of social respect in many of our towns... What does bother you socially nowadays ? when have you felt disrespected or ashamed by seeing someone else being disrespected? does lack of politeness on custumer service bother you? what about cell phones being answer on cinemas and theatres while the show or movie is on?... those are just examples of what is going on... but there are endless possibilities to explore on RESPECT!. This event is nothing about conquests but an individual and group expression to make concious society about its faults, to open audience eyes to the lack of sensitivity towards enterteiners and people that surround us all... From today onwards you could start sending me your CVs and proposals (no more than 7min for performers and video artists, and no more than 3 pieces per visual artist and photographers). All proposals and Cvs will be send to: descalzoscreativos@yahoo.com or tibanamaste@googlemail.com as a contribution towards a marvellous weekend in honor to RESPECT! ... :-) 

the road so far....

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.
