🏢 About the local organisation
For this project, De Amicitia is collaborating with Swing Peaks. Swing Peaks is a local Lindy Hop association promoting this kind of vintage dance and all the philosophy of cooperative, peace, mutual understanding, gender issue behind- Swing Peaks has an excellent relation with other groups of Lindy Hop in the area. All these Lindy Hop groups are keen to dance on the streets every week creating a charming and lovely environment for the citizens that are known as Clandestines
💼 What the programme involves
We are looking for musicians able to create a street band to play Swing Music on the streets of these Clandestines. This project is a special art and culture project based on promoting the voluntary activism during these clandestines or Swing/Lindy Hop performances/dancing. The volunteers will play in the house of elderly people, mental handicapped hospital, and in the end the project will finish on the streets on different Clandestines organised by different local Lindy Hop groups as a swing band while locals will dance Lindy Hop. They will help by playing live music while some giving visibility to citizens initiative . The selected localities are those where there is currently a school or association of Lindy Hop and the volunteers will show their performances most probably in Denia, Villena, Elche, Altea, Alcoi, Alicante, Murcia and Sant Vicent del Raspeig. They will end up playing on a party to fund raise for environmental projects and in a big local festival en Xavia.
🏠 Accommodation on site
First days will be used to practise and group dynamics, and therefore the group will stay at a remote house to be able to create a repertory. Following days they will be travelling to these locations and will stay separately at the houses of locals.Volunteers are required to bring lower sheets plus summer sleeping bags.
