Realidades, palabras y movimiento. Una experiencia creativa y pedagógica a través del tango-abrazo

Abstract

This research project presents the development of the pedagogical and creative experience carried out with children and youth from the Tesoro La Cumbre School in the city of Ciudad Bolívar, linked to the local arts Center for Children and Youth program (CLAN in Spanish) of the District Institute of Arts, in the second semester of 2016. In this educational practice, mediated by the embrace of tango as an element of construction of new knowledge and communication, the experiences of violence in the local territory of the subjects were problematized, as well as the meanings that the notions of body, dance and tango had in them, allowing the emergence of new knowledge that allows the reflection on the dance tango as a language that contributes to the processes of cohesion and reconstruction of the social fabric.
