The seminar will last two hours, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and aims to support the teaching of traditional dance. The event has been organized with the collaboration of Kulturaz and the Sahatsa Dantza dance group.
Sarriegi will explore the hidden legacy of Gipuzkoa's dance masters, particularly the work of Iztueta and the dance forms known in the Urola region during the last century. During the session, he will attempt to answer questions about the origin of the dances, their evolution, and the reasons for their changes.
“"Where do our dances originate? Have we always danced the same way? Can we know when changes occurred? Why did these changes happen?"
Mikel Sarriegi is a dancer, director, and researcher for the Aurtzaka dance group. He studied with dance masters Raimundo Gamayo, Martin Iraola, and Jesus Mari Garate, and has an extensive career in the world of dance. For the past twenty years, he has researched the evolution of Gipuzkoa's dance system, and this seminar is the result of that work.
The session will be free, but those wishing to participate must register in advance on the kulturaz.eus or dantzan.eus websites.
