Compañía Cuerpo de Indias • Professional Nucleus of El Colegio del Cuerpo • Directed by choreographers Álvaro Restrepo and Marie France Delieuvin, Compañía Cuerpo de Indias has been recognized as one of the emblematic proposals of Latin American contemporary dance in the world, having performed in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. A new identity of dance has emerged from the artistic vision of its directors and the diverse mixture of ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, and artistic origins of the dancers. Some of them have been trained at eCdC since childhood; and some come from traditional folk dance, others from classical ballet, hip-hop and/or contemporary techniques. Dancers ​ Ana María Bermúdez, Gina Carrasquilla, Johan Gutiérrez, Cristian Mogollón, Alexander Patrón, Erick Pérez, Mayerlis Romero, Camila Silva, Mauricio Suárez, Piter Velásquez. ​ Pieces of the repertoire ​ Creations conceived and created by Álvaro Restrepo Associated Choreographer: Marie-France Delieuvin Dos Volcanes (y un laberinto) (2019) - Two Volcanoes (and one labyrinth) - Animal family (2019) sacrifiXio: la consagración de la Paz (2017) - sacrifiXe: the rite of Peace - Stabat Mater (2017) And birds are still (La quietud de los pájaros) (2017) NEGRA/ANGER (2016) INXILIO: El sendero de lágrimas (2010) - INXILE: The trail of tears - 7 Visiones del Amén (2012) -7 Visions of Amen - Conception and Direction: Álvaro Restrepo Choreography: Marie France Delieuvin / Álvaro Restrepo palabrademar (2009) - wordofthesea - Cuarteto para el Fin del Cuerpo (2005) - Quartet for the End of the Body - El camino hambriento C.H.A.T.

TERRITORY BODY • EDUCATION • ART• NATURE• El Colegio del Cuerpo (The School of the Body), based in Cartagena de Indias (Colombia), has celebrated 25 years after having initiated, in September 1997, its work in the most socially and economically unequal city of the country. Emblematic city, alternative capital of Colombia, it simultaneously displays UNESCO´s designation as Historical and Cultural Patrimony of Humanity. More tan 10,000 children and youngsters from what we have called Talent Stratum have participated during these years in the different projects and programs of our two methodological strategies: Education for Dance (artistic professional formation) and Education with Dance (integral body education for non-artists). In 2008 El Colegio del Cuerpo received from the Mayoralty of Cartagena a 9.884 acres land based in Pontezuela, semi-urban township, where we initiated in the midst of Master Pandemic, the construction of our definitive site. Download or read online here the complete document of the d escriptive memory of the Architectural Project Architecture as an Extension of our Body The architect Leopoldo Javier Combariza, founding member of El Colegio del Cuerpo, has designed a project that in a masterful and coherent way reflects the pedagogical philosophy of our institution: from the beginning of our work in 1997, the issue of the dignity and suitability of the spaces became an essential pedagogical tool. The contact with beauty, pulchritude, thermo-accustic conditions for concentration and – I insist – in the notion of dignity, inspire and transform the behaviour of youngsters and children. Architecture is nothing more and nothing less than a prolongation of our body, or, as the architect Leopoldo Combariza Díaz (father of our founding member), calls it: “Architecture is our third skin”. View from the East ARCA – General Warehouse – Already built. Strategic Alliances Route In the following document we have formulated a proposal of long term strategic alliances with Enterprises, Universities, Foundations and Corporations based on a convergence of values and objectives by means of a win-to-win scheme of enormous impact on the local, national and international level, based on the trajectory and prestige of eCdC, as well as on the solidity and ethic civic principles of the enterprises and institutions that would join this Alliance. The pioneer Enterprise to join this common effort is SURA. This emblematic enterprise of our country, guided not only by social enterprise responsibility , but above all, by a humanistic and committed posture with the highest values of concern, respect, conviviality and co-responsibility with the common wellbeing: a new citizenship and a notion of richness linked with integral wellbeing and plenitude, not only with material goods and finantial results.
