About You and me...
Two bodies that breathe everything that surrounds them. Two bodies that appreciate what they do not know, two bodies that emerge, grow and discover themselves in their tender life through play and curiosity. "You and me", and dance... for those tiny hearts that love life.
«Tú y yo” late dentro de esos lugares comunes a las personas, que al compartirlos se vuelven presentes y nos hacen mejores al reconocerlos. “Tú y yo” nace con la condición de utilizar los límites que conviven con las personas, y usarlos como discurso para la creación del espectáculo.
Designed especially for early childhood, this show opens up a world of possibilities for babies, boys, girls (6 months and older) and families.
Bajo el lema «Un espectáculo concebido para un público diverso», buscamos crear un espacio donde las personas puedan vivir una experiencia única, aprendiendo de manera sencilla a aceptar, apreciar y respetar a los demás. Este delicado mundo de sensaciones nos revela la imperante necesidad que todos tenemos de ser reconocidos, así como de reconocer a los demás.
The sensibility towards the illumination and the look, the delicacy pulsed with each music to be perceived in its vibration, the sign language in the hands for the dance, the senses as motors of the choreographic details. Stimuli to not feel limited, and to be able to advance, learn and overcome.
At "You and Me" we celebrate diversity and make inclusion our norm.

Introduction
El taller «Los límites que nos impulsan» tiene una finalidad claramente social. Esta propuesta promueve la participación real a través de la inclusión, la aceptación de la diversidad en todas sus formas y la puesta en valor de la capacidad resiliente de las personas. Este taller está diseñado para empoderar a los/as participantes a través de la danza y la expresión corporal, como una poderosa herramienta de transformación social y autoconocimiento, fomentando el desarrollo de las potencialidades individuales y sociales de cada uno/a de los/as asistentes.
The proposal promotes a space where limits are not seen as obstacles, but as engines that drive us to grow and find new forms of expression and non-verbal communication. We will learn to use the body as a means to externalize feelings, emotions, ideas and thoughts, even in the absence of verbal language. This workshop is inclusive and open to people of all abilities, with and without diversity, who will find in dance a vehicle for self-expression and connection with others.
Aimed at
This workshop is aimed at people of all ages and abilities, with or without functional diversity, who are interested in dance and the exploration of the body as a means of expression and self-knowledge. It is also contemplated its realization in various formats; children in the early stages of education or early care, children and their families, adults with and without diversity, groups at risk of social exclusion.
Objectives
- Promote body and emotional self-awareness, developing self-confidence and a positive valuation of one's own body and its possibilities.
- To foster an inclusive environment where differences are celebrated as a source of richness and shared learning.
- To explore the body as a means of expression, developing intrapersonal and interpersonal communication skills, as well as the ability to externalize emotions and ideas through movement.
- To learn to identify and use personal and collective limits as sources of creativity and growth, promoting a positive and constructive attitude towards challenges.
- Encourage the creation of meaningful bonds among participants, promoting cooperation and mutual support within the group.
- To stimulate the imagination, the capacity for improvisation and artistic creation, using diverse languages such as musical, plastic, dramatic and literary to enrich corporal expression.
- To involve families in the practice of dance, promoting joint participation in artistic activities that strengthen relationships and discover new family roles.
Methodology
The workshop will be developed through practical activities that integrate dance, improvisation, play, physical contact and the use of voice and scenographic elements. Participants will explore their own abilities and limits, and work collaboratively with others to create an inclusive and enriching learning space. The methodology will be flexible and adaptive, allowing each person to participate according to their possibilities and desires, in an environment that promotes trust, respect and creativity.
