The Ibero-American Festival of Children's Theatre, which promotes the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), until Sunday 7 September at the Centro Cultural del Bosque, the National Institute of Fine Arts (INBA) in Mexico City, has in order to articulate an arts education program where performing arts are essential.
"To do this you must create a mechanism by which experiences are shared, the good plays and theater practices in the region. Thus, we made a database that allows this information to hand. Another proposal of the festival which takes place in the context of the first Congress of Children's Theatre: theater and education, OEI-, was putting together a course
assemblies for children and youth with a dual purpose:
meet the artists with educational interests to have the opportunity to train in the field, and that educators are trained in artistic practice, "says Ramiro Osorio, director of programming Iberoamerican Festival of Children's Theatre.
At the meeting, 40 companies in Latin America, 20 Mexican participate. There will be over 60 functions. Among the invited groups are lab mask and martina dream, of Mexico; Acrometría of Spain; The fire: theater community of Guatemala; Theatre of bewilderment, of El Salvador; The Warehouse Theatre of Uruguay and Let: theater group from Brazil.
This project began in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the IEO found two years ago, and according explained in his interview with MILLENNIUM cardholder-is fulfilled virtuously. The festival shows the results of the best shows made for children and young people in 20 countries.
For the former director of the Iberoamerican Theater Festival of Bogotá, making performing arts for young people is relevant because this discipline is crucial both in early childhood and adolescence, it allows people to have a form of integral expression. From this idea, the project proposes two key proposals: the timely recognize the talents and skills of children and they can be guided to develop, and that through this artistic discipline the child can work in community.
"It has been suggested that stage professionals go to schools and children come to the theaters, so this exchange from the kids can learn about other experiences and contact with other ways of living," says, former owner of the International Cervantes Festival, between 2001 and 2006.
One concern that has the OEI is the incentive of the theater to the audience it is intended this meeting, as in other countries in the region are few scenic proposals compared to what happens to the adult theater: "Mexico is a increasingly important movement that occurs with increasing strength and quality, "says former ambassador of Colombia in this nation.
Even the cultural promoter argues, in Mexico, for example, you can compare with countries like Argentina, Spain and Colombia, and here is a tradition of 80 or 90 years in children's programming assemblies: "There is enormous diversity. At the festival we can see a range of what is produced in this country "spectrum.
"There is a meeting that is gathering good quality shows. Is made to publicize the best practices of a project that was unveiled two years, where the growth of theater in recent times also sees ago, "says the former CEO of ARTeria.
