The voting for Creative School events is now done, and the Creative School Committee has arranged with visits by a range of artists, based on the students’ suggestions. This is made possible through the Skapande skola/Creative School project, underpinned by the National Arts Council.
Here is a short resume of what the first event during this school year will look like:
On November 15th. Dance workshops for grade 8.
The workshops will be lead by the Portuguese dancer, rapper and choreographer Francisco “Pako” Almeida. Pako has broad experience from many workshops, classes, shows, intercultural exchanges and other projects, in many different countries. He will use street dance/hip hop dance as the styles of dancing, and combine with the theme integration in the choreography.
“My workshop is a combination of urban stiles, hip hop, house, dance hall and regaton, [mixed] with contemporary. This is because in this way I can reach higher level dancers and beginners at the same time. My workshops are centered on developing the students skills, meaning that you don’t have to have experience to attend. I believe that dance as an art form can truly help people to succeed in what they want to do with their life.”
