HUESCA IS LEGEND
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
ITHEC is an entity created in 1991 in Huesca that aims to encourage the participation of the population in activities connected with the performing arts.
Since our beginnings in ITHEC we have been working on theater and dance workshops, promoting courses related to theater. We also organize shows and festivals of theater and dance for young people and neighborhoods for teenagers in which they learn basic aspects of the performing arts.
At ITHEC we believe that the scenic activities are a useful tool to promote social inclusion, that is why we develop programs aimed at the disabled, young people with fewer resources, people at risk of exclusion.
💼 What the programme involves
This work camp will take place in Huesca, a small town (50.000 inhabitants) near the Pyrenees Mountains. The History of Huesca has a vast legacy of legends and tales. The aim of this work camp is spreading this legacy for tourism development through performing arts. So, participants will create and perform street theatre plays. At the end of the work camp we will play our show to the audience.
The work camp is divided into two parts:
Part 1, Study and knowledge of the legends and tales of the city of Huesca during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. We will make this work by visiting archives, museums, historical buildings in which the events took place.
Part 2, Creation, design and implementation of dramatized touristic routes which will value the immaterial heritage of the town. Participants will help to write scripts, design props, choose costumes... Everyone will have a role in the play. The play will be held in Spanish, but don´t worry if you don´t know a word, it is no necessary. We will rehearse the show to be presented to the audience.
Participants will be accompanied by History and Drama experts during the whole process.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be held in shared rooms with beds at the Students Residence Santo Domingo in Huesca which is located in the central district along with the bullring and the university. The residence, for up 24 people in shared rooms, has common areas and dining room with TV. The residence also offers free WiFi access. Participants may help in the general cleaning of common areas.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be normally served at the residence.
The meals are home made by the residence cook. If you have any allergy or food intolerance please let us know to warn the cook in advance. Some days if we are in a journey or if we have a very tight scheduled we can have a package lunch with sandwich and some fruit.
