Residencia: Brenda Cantelo [Canadá] 13-23/03/2013

Durante su residencia la Dra. Cantelo dará unos cursos en la UNLA y presentará dos de sus videos a alumnos del CMMAS. Residencia gracias al convenio de colaboración con la Universidad de Manitoba y el CMMAS.

While in Morelia, Dr. Cantelo will be giving lectures at UNLA and will be showing two of her videos at CMMAS, "Animus" and "Carry Me Home."   Both of these short, 15 minute videos use dance to explore aspects of spirtuality. The sound track for each piece was produced in Winnipeg, Canada by Cantelo and local musicians.  The first video, Animus, is based on a Jungian analysis of a dream sequence which takes the viewer through an interior landscape. Carry Me Home was developed out of a pilot project which Cantelo did with St. Boniface Hospital and uses dance to look at ways in which illness impacts individuals and their families.
