The Dance inside the Instruction of Infantry. Program of Dance for soldiers. 2008 - 2012

The language of the dance in the military field is an exploration, acquisition and development of a new learning way that relates mind and body, thought and action.They are artistic expressions that help to generate self knowledge of the personal and the social world, of the person and the culture, of the interior world and the social environment where they develop.

Dance and infantry have so many points in common. For this reason I created a Ballet Manual which incorporates dance exercises in military routine in an attempt to turn soldiers' movements into a more precise, elastic, elegant and graceful manner. Also, the control of breathing will be of a great importance in order to accentuate the nature of movements. 

The dance in the military field is an exploration and development of a new learning way which relates mind and body. It contributes to enrich the self-knowledge and the apprehension of the surrounding world. Moreover, the mental, physical and emotional components of the movement will spread to appear in defined actions of the body and in forms endowed with sense in space. This idea is not focused into form dancers.

This project is composed by videos, interview to dancers and soldiers, texts, a Ballet Manual and photos. Then I present it like a big installation.
