Summary
L’écho des racines, c’est un spectacle de danse et de musique qui rassemble huit artistes sur scène, quatre danseurs et quatre musiciens, qui viennent de deux traditions différentes : le flamenco et la gigue québécoise.
Le spectacle nous permet de nous demander : c’est quoi une tradition? C’est des savoir-faire qui se partagent dans un groupe ou une communauté, et qui sont transmis dans le temps, souvent de génération en génération.
Dans le spectacle, on peut voir que les deux danses créent du rythme avec les pieds mais que la manière de bouger et le son sont bien différents. On peut donc voir les différences entre ces deux traditions, mais aussi en quoi elles se ressemblent.
Sur la scène, il y a des éléments de laine qui se transforment pendant le spectacle et qui permettent de voir comment on est reliés, même avec nos différences. “L’écho des racines”, ça nous permet donc de voir comment on peut créer ensemble, à partir de langages différents.
Why do children go on cultural outings?
School outings help to make learning meaningful by bringing pupils into direct contact with the natural or cultural environment.
They bring children face to face with reality, elicit astonishment and emotions, and offer new perspectives.
They also draw on children’s social, motor and cognitive skills.
They help children learn about living in a community and establishing relationships between adults and children who are different from those in the class.
Outings are not simply something “extra,” but provide a unique opportunity for personal and collective reflection that will be meaningful for students throughout their years at school.
Steer away from the usual questions in order to share a moment with your child.
Let me guess
With your face and/or body, express without using words what you felt during the outing. Now it’s my turn to express without words what I was feeling during the day.
Sharing thoughts to have sweet dreams
Before we turn out the lights, tell me something from the show that you’d like to dream about. Now it’s my turn to share an image or something positive that I experienced today and that I’d also like to dream about.
