At first glance, everything in Santa Ana, our neighborhood, seems to be common, plain and habitual. Nothing special.
Days seem to pass, one after the other, in the old and decrepit mansions, buildings and barracks, consumed in immovable torpor, only broken by the music of the noisy neighbor; or the frenzy of commerce, the street vendors and the rumor of the machines pumping away in the neighborhood.
Dance and art allow us to stop, observe and because of that, make our daily experience, something really extraordinary.
During their summer course our students entered a choregraphic process where they explored the traditional spaces of a common dwelling and translated their ideas and inspiration into movement; the deep meaning of that place we want to return to, where we take refuge and what we call Home.
Enlaces students invited us to enter the privacy of their experiences, and live with them in an honest and frank approach, the beauty of the everyday life.
In the middle of the historic Santa Ana Square, we were surprised with all the poetry that is waiting, in the least expected place, to be discovered by those willing to find it.
