The municipality of Piar, in the
state of Bolívar, will host the conference “Body in Time: Past, Present and
Future of Dance in Bolivar State”, scheduled for next Saturday,
May 9, within the framework of the International Day of Dance.
The
activity will take place at the María Cova Fernández House of Culture of the Manuel Piar Cultural
Center, starting at 9:00 in the morning, with the
participation of cultivators, students and researchers from the area.
The event, organized by
the entity's Dance Movement together with students from the Kleber Ramírez Territorial
Polytechnic University of Mérida, seeks to create a space for
reflection on the evolution of dance, from its historical roots to contemporary
challenges, integrating research with performing practice to strengthen the training and professionalization of the sector.
During the day, issues related to cultural management, nationalist dance and the
construction of a documentary record that preserves the historical memory of the
region and serves as a basis for new creative processes will be
addressed.
As a result, a State Plan is expected to be drawn up that will reflect the union's main
conclusions and needs for the next decade,
with the objective of designing structural solutions and consolidating support for the
cultivators of the Bolivar state.
