From Foot to Hand
When night falls and the doors of the old shoe shop close, silence gives way to secrecy. In the dim light of the shelves, the leather comes to life; forgotten, the shoes awaken to life when the world falls asleep. In the shop window, these shoes dance their memories, confront their destinies and share the same invisible fear of the fragility of time.
But when the structure that supports them threatens to collapse, the conflicts end. In a moment of urgency and mutual aid, brute strength joins with lightness.
At dawn, the turning of the key restores routine to the shoe shop. The owners return to put on their shoes, unaware that beneath the sole of every shoe now treading the street, a heart beats.
Projet'arte
Projet'arte's activity began in 2000 with the development of several projects called “Traditional Percussion Orchestra” in public, private and IPSS schools, the result of the idea of Prof. José Maria Rêgo.
It is on young people and children that we must focus, promoting a balance in their leisure time, be it outdoor activities, sports, cultural or other, as a way of socializing, as an alternative to the “dictatorship” of electronic social networks. Traditional music is one of the best ways of facilitating this type of activity. It's not “music for music's sake”, it's something that tells us a lot, that connects us to our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, it's an identity that we want to preserve.
In the school context, music has important advantages, it helps to control stress and anxiety, for example in assessment situations. Progress in learning music requires individual work and study, persistence and self-evaluation. Its transfer to the school context will facilitate academic success.
