Art as a catalyst for change

Through these programs, we demonstrate how artistic practices can bridge imagination, education, and ecological awareness — turning creativity into social action in ways that are meaningful, inspiring, and accessible to all

The convergence of vertical dance, ecological thinking, and various art forms.
During this workshop period, we explored ways to integrate vertical dance and ecological awareness with other artistic approaches. We created a creative space where participants could reflect, exchange ideas, and embark on new experiments involving movement, narrative, and visuals.

Transforming everyday materials into creative expression
As part of its eco-art initiatives, Dafa Theater hosted a Puppet-Making and Giant Mask Workshop where participants turned recycled newspaper into imaginative, expressive artworks. The goal of the session was to show how simple, everyday materials can gain new life through creativity, collaboration, and artistic play.

Collaborative eco-design with recycled materials

The members of the Samba da Rúa batucada group returned to La Traviesa for four additional sessions to design and create the props and costume elements for their upcoming performance in the Ecoflight show.

All 16 members of the group took part in the creative process, crafting unique costume pieces - including shoulder pads and necklaces - using recycled coffee capsules supplied by the social enterprise Otro Tiempo, Otro Planeta (“Another Time, Another Planet”).

These workshops not only supported the artistic preparation for the performance but also highlighted how sustainable materials can inspire innovative, visually striking costume design.
