Uniendo mundos

Hoy me propusieron dar una charla en una conferencia en noviembre sobre inspiración y creatividad (¿Inspiration conference? Sí, hay de todo y para todos los gustos en este país). Elegí hablar de la EVE -la escuela de verano de la escuela de música Sirinx- como un ejemplo de experiencia que reúne múltiples expresiones artísticas y cuya belleza reside en el trabajo colectivo, la entrega y acogida desinteresada, y una visión vital y alternativa de la enseñanza y de la música.

Multiple modes of creative artistry: Sirinx Music Camp of Spain
Music is a pluralistic art that enables and embraces all of us in journeys that can be as rich as our imagination allows them to be. We are a like a kaleidoscope, versatile, multiple and diverse. Music is one more bead in that kaleidoscope, a palette that offers us the opportunity to use the different colors of our talents and personalities.

Through different experiences in my life, I have been able to use music as a mean to enhance some of the other artistic expressions that are part of our lives. My hands can do many things but they only know how to do a few. They know how to share, though, and that sharing is what this presentation is about: it is about playing, playing music, writing, painting, building, and ultimately, creating with others. How the strength for creativity emerges? Where inspiration draws its wings from? What happens when we are able to combine our talents to create something that only can be done by all of us and that feels “natural”? This is the story of the Sirinx summer camp, a story that proves that music is a means to build spaces and contexts where several arts can be combined.

(La EVE de este año fue del 8 al 18 de agosto en Burgos.)
