La necesidad del arte en el desarrollo humano

Abstract

When we talk about human development, we generally consider expanding our capabilities, our options and opportunities; namely, we think about a proposal for the future in which our past and present, along with their contexts, seem to have no participation of any kind. Besides, when we consider it, we do it from our cognitive part leaving aside or including very "implicitly", our body and our emotions. This creation work is an invitation to culturally decodify “ourselves” from a critical point of view, incorporating our historical and emotional memory where the body is seen as an explicit scenario, of our historical experiences. In dialogue with a biologist, an economist, an anthropologist and a critical pedagogue, we will build the basis to keep wondering about human beings and their development in a holistic way. From the dramatic arts, three directors, will join this dialogue in a practical way through a theater laboratory; in which the main characters will be children and young people from the neighborhood Palermo Sur in Bogotá. Together from places as far as Colombia, Brazil, Chile hasta Poland and Russia, we will walk in the quest for new proposals for development, a development that goes beyond economic aspects and that prioritizes the human being.
