CREATING DANCE UNDERWATER
CREATING DANCE UNDERWATER
On human creativity and resilience
This is an Allegorical Project about creativity and resilience; dance is used to represent the steps to take, both to start the creative process and achieve and develop our creativity and resilience. It stresses, above all, emotional management as a basis for achieving mental balance, and as a release from the automation and mental ramblings that make us ill, and constrain our creativity and health. It deals with of the pathway leading to full consciousness, as a transformative experience, the cultivation and expression of the most positive human qualities is plausible.
The need for creativity in the present day is essential not only to assume pressing challenges to specific problems, but also as a new way to use our minds and expand our consciousness. In this project, we consider creativity and resilience as a crucial characteristic of human beings, to work on the development of a specific state of consciousness, an inner peace and healthy equilibrium from which solutions arise for personal transformation and consequently for our social environment, all of which has become a necessity for our own survival as a species. It also aims to emphasize the importance of the use of ethical creativity, given that creativity is a powerful tool for change, and therefore its use should be able to flip the switch in a direction conducive to the collective good.
