Latidos sin fronteras: vivicencias que trascienden a través de las danzas colombianas

Abstract

This monograph explores the challenges faced by a choreographic director when developing a collective dance creation with older adults, based on the systematization of the experience in the event “XI International Folkloric Festival of Veracruz MEXICO INSPIRARTE 2024”. To understand this monographic chronicle, key concepts such as : identity, culture, tradition, creation and senior citizens will be analyzed. These categories will allow understanding the cultural and social impact of folkloric dance and the particular dynamics in the elderly, evidenced by the senior dance company (Asociación Club Ejercicio Salud y Vida Tunal), from the town of Tunjuelito de Bogotá D.C. In short, this monograph aims to be an academic and practical contribution, exploring how older adults can become active agents of cultural change through dance. By capturing the challenges and lessons learned from this experience, it seeks to inspire and guide future choreographic directors, consolidating the importance of tradition, identity and social inclusion in artistic practice.
