The Fundación Psico Ballet Maite León participates in the Delyramus project with the organization of a performing arts community workshop. The Foundation dedicates itself since 1980 to the social and labour integration of people with disabilities in the artistic field, has its own Inclusive Art School in Madrid, and maintains four contemporary dance theatre companies.

Through the workshop people at risk of social exclusion work on improving self-esteem, proprioception, teamwork, and motivation. In addition, the project includes the promotion of employment of people at risk of social exclusion, with the participation of a teacher with disabilities.

The workshop will be held from September to December 2022 and in January the final rehearsals will take place, ending with an exhibition open to the public on a stage in Madrid.

As stated by the Foundation, “The performing arts are a magnificent tool for social transformation both for society, which transforms its view of groups at risk of social exclusion, and for the participants themselves, who change their attitude, their way of working and cooperation, improving their self-esteem and self-perception”.

Neurological music therapist Hannah Slater will organize the community creative exchange workshop “Entre Compositores” within the context of the Delyramus project. Hannah Slater studied piano and music therapy at the Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA) where she received various recognitions for her public service work and was finalist in a composition competition.  She went on to practice music therapy at the ground-breaking clinic Neurologic Music Therapy Services of Arizona and has been collaborating with Musica para el Autismo since 2015. Through participation in the workshop, people with disabilities will be guided in composing different forms of music while collaborating with professional musicians.  This will cultivate the artistic potential of people with functional diversity and highlight their powerful contribution to cultural evolution. Additionally, caregivers, family and friends will be invited to workshops on the therapeutic use of music to increase the independence and quality of life of their loved ones. Starting in September, Hannah Slater will bring together the participants and professional musicians/composers once a week to develop a spoken word and digital instrumental track, an acoustic soundscape, and an improvisational piece, all of which will be performed in a final concert open to the public. Through their experiences, the participants will increase their self-esteem, sense of identity, and interpersonal connections. They will also showcase their creative capacities and transmit their messages to the community.

The “Art and Inclusion” event of the Delyramus_et_Laboramus project took place at the Municipal Theater of the Portuguese city of Guarda on June 4, 2022. The program began with a talk at the Cafe-Concerto with various guests from the cultural and social sectors, who spoke about the mutual benefits of the work of artistic and cultural production with audiences with diversity.

In the evening, the performance “Li.ber.ta.ção” was presented in the Small Auditorium of the Theater, starring users with mental diversity from the CACI-ADM Estrela (center for activity and inclusion) and with artistic direction by the musician Tiago Sami Pereira. This performance is the result of the workshops developed at the Theater, and was composed of several theatrical and musical performance frames imagined to take advantage of the individual preferences of each of the participating users.
