CoroDelantal MACA presents The Geometry of Strings with dancer Alicia Narejos
Alicia Narejos is a dancer from Murcia with a degree in Choreography from the María de Ávila Superior Conservatory of Dance. She has worked with the Antonio Ruz Company, Stocos Company and Otra Danza, among other independent choreographers. She won the First Prize at "Tiempo de Danza II" and as a choreographer she was awarded at Creajoven XIX. Her works are mainly collaborations with musicians, highlighting members of the Spanish National Orchestra and Choir, Neopercusión, Espai Barroc and Il Parnasso musicale. She is currently pursuing a Creation Grant at the prestigious "Residencia de Estudiantes" in Madrid, being the second one awarded to dance in the entire history of the residence.
The workshop will consist of an encounter between movement, sound and matter. A work of plasticity that will bring to the scale of human bodies the grilles, cradles and other geometries of the string figures by Eva Lootz. In what way will the patterns of play, their nature, and the string itself influence the voice and the body? It is the starting point of a research work between Alicia Narejos, Eva Lootz and Sonia Megías that is born at MACA and will continue to develop in places such as the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.

Action poetry trio formed by Bartolomé Ferrando, Laura Tejeda and Alain Goudard with the Corodelantal of the MACA directed by Sonia Megías.Collaborates: Consortium of Museums of the Valencian GeneralitatThe Songs of Orpheus is a collection of visual poems of a musical nature, created by Elena Asins in 1970 on loose sheets of paper with a typewriter, forming beautiful drawings with letters, groupings of illegible sounds and words that construct phrases with a certain semantic sense and literary qualities, which allude to one of the oldest and darkest episodes of Greek mythology: the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, traversed by love and death. It is one of the most important pieces in the history of Spanish experimental poetry and is being shown for the first time.
