description Donation from OSI-Budapest Arts and Culture Program. For six hours a day, six days a week, the 41 members of Ivaldo Bertazzo’s dance company train their bodies and minds. These performers not only rehearse, but also study English, Portuguese, dance history, pedagogy, percussion, singing, and origami. They learn music and movement from countries such as India, South Africa, and Brazil, along with a technique called Re-Education of Movement. Then they do their math homework. These performers are at-risk teenagers and young adults participating in Dança Comunidade (Community Dance), a project led by Bertazzo, which unites artistic expression and social action. In partnership with several non-profit organizations and SESC (an organization that provides working-class Brazilians with world-class facilities geared toward sports, leisure and the arts), Bertazzo, assisted by Inês Bogéa, created his second evening-length work, “Milágrimas”, which closed its five-month run at the SESC Pinheiros Theater in São Paulo, Brazil in April 2006. The film is a documentation of the learnig process and the final perforamce.
