Dance Performance
Rhythm of Life
Rhythm of Life is inspired by the marine world: it stages movements of the ocean and its creatures, such as seaweed, octopuses and swarms of fish. By combining them with Samba dance moves, the choreography also links to the carnival tradition of Águilas.
The dance was accompanied by a specially composed, rhythmic piece of music. The performers wore a costume with colourful patterns and a textile fin on one arm. It represented a fusion of humans and sea creatures. Rhythm of Life was performed on the beach, on studio stages, and at the historical castle of Águilas.

The Rhythm of Life: from science to art - from art to ocean literacy
In autumn 2024 we will explore the of local dance culture of Águilas to connect more deeply to the art scene and educational institutions to involve the community into the development of our dance performance.
The goal is to anchor the issue of marine health within public culture practise such as the famous carnival of the city. We envision to involve especially the young generation as representatives of the future.
