1st ICS / Passeio Workshop – Bodies in Motion

Passeio and ICS are organising the first session of the ‘Bodies in Motion’ workshops on 8 October (2 p.m.). It will take place at the Audiovisual and Multimedia Centre (Building 13, Institute of Education) on the Gualtar Campus.

The session, which will last approximately three hours, will be coordinated by Teresa Mora, Zara Pinto-Coelho and Helena Pires and also takes place in partnership with Braga 25 Portuguese Capital of Culture and the ATLAS programme.   It will be led by Josep Borràs and consists of group dynamics and music with basketballs that serve as a pretext for generating situations, dialogues, positions, learning and mobilisation, leading to the questioning of social roles, bodies and professional perspectives. This exercise aims to contribute to the identification of group facilitation strategies.

The trainer, Josep Borràs, studied Social Education and Music Therapy, specialising in community and political work through the arts. He is the creator and head of the Basket Beat project, which ‘trains’ more than a thousand professionals every year. He is a Professor of Creativity in the Sociocultural Animation Programme of the Department of Social Careers at the University of Paris-Est Créteil and collaborates in several postgraduate and master’s programmes. He is a member of the GIAS research group – Lenguajes artísticos y acción social – at the Pere Tarrés Faculty of Ramon Llull University. He has published numerous articles and books and directs the Community Arts Festival of Catalonia. He currently uses his own body as a field of dissident research.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required using the form.
