Cavalo~Marinho, a short piece of dance and music for early childhood, with artistic direction by Madalena Victorino and co-created and performed by dancer Alice Duarte and saxophonist Ana Raquel, took place in eight sessions, on June 10th and 11th , at the Monchique Kindergarten.
Maria de Jesus Duarte, director of the Monchique Schools Group, emphasizes that this initiative “is one more of the educational actions of the Aesthetic and Artistic Education Project in our group, which, this time, challenged children from pre-school and 1st cycle and their families entering the imaginary world of a lake, between sky and sea. The adventures experienced by the children are already an emotional reserve from which transdisciplinary activities are emerging”.
Helena Tapadinhas, ambassador of the Aesthetic and Artistic Education Project/DGE in the Algarve, said that “by making fruition projects happen aimed at the school community, the PEEA intends to make the carousel of dreams spin, as the sea horse did in this magical world provided. for this remarkable aesthetic and artistic experience”.
In addition to this enchanting dimension, “this show also has the fundamental aspect of the territory, by addressing the theme of seahorses, a few days after having been published the decree-law that grants a protection regime to this species, and have been delimited refuge areas in the Ria Formosa”, adds the person in charge.
