Community Outreach
Gisela has developed her own projects which look to introduce Creative Dance to public school children and youth in Barcelona and surrounding areas. She has developed workshops for schools: Baldiri Reixach, Turó Blau, Mestre Gibert, CEIP Teresa Claramunt, Escola Del Mar, Escola Especial Mare de Déu de Montserrat. She has continued these projects in the US with the assistance of Jump! Dance Company, Festival Ballet and RISCA Grants.
She has also taught workshops at Dear to Dream Youth Conference 2019, URI RI – US and other community scenarios.
She has created and taught dance curriculum for Spaziano Elementary School in Providence for the last two years and Alan Feinstein Elementary School through Festival Ballet Outreach Program.
Gisela is currently leading the Program Synchronies _ Projectes Escola
The Synchronies – Schools Project aims to help develop artistic, cultural, social and civic skills in primary and secondary school students through a series of dance workshops and a workshop for teachers. The project is developed in collaboration with the schools and activities such as music, art or physical education are often involved as bridges to prepare the sessions together.
On the other hand, we offer a session for teaching staff that consists of a presentation/workshop on how to introduce creative dance in schools. This workshop is thought to be carried out previously in the sessions with the students, to give tools to the teachers in order to be able to incorporate dance in the classrooms.
