2. formation OBJECTIVES
The formation suggests going off to explore this popular art native of Andalusia, in a playful and alive way. Far from clichés, we shall be interested in the essence and spirit of an art in perpetual evolution, which knew how to keep its identity over time and was recognized Immaterial Cultural heritage of the Humanity in 2010.

3. Formation CONTENTS
In what period and in which contexts appeared the flamenco? Who were his first interpreters? What role played the Gypsies in his creation? How was it perceived in the Andalusian society of this period? How did it evolve until our days?
Such are the questions in which we shall be interested at first.
2) An alive culture
The flamenco is an art which is exported on the more important scenes of the world, at the same time as it continues to live also in the intimacy of private parties combining professionals and « aficionados ». For the latter, certainly it constitutes an art, but also a way of being, feeling and thinking. We shall discover the wealth of this culture shared by the « flamencos », made in particular by shared rites, by a collective memory, by a language, by an ethic.
3) Complex forms. A little of practice
Popular complex Art, which allies song, dance, guitar and percussions, the flamenco divides palos (or styles of song), which are generally difficult to recognize at first sight for the layman (soleá, seguiriya, tangos, alegrías …). We shall get acquainted with his main styles and we shall introduce to mark the compás (specific rhythmic structure). As listeners - spectators, we shall also see that the flamenco expresses all the types of the feelings

4. MéthodologY
The formation will be made in a interactive way: structured around the themes evoked above, it will make way for the questions and for the exchanges. The formation (always interactive), will be enriched by diverse audio-visual media (videos, CD), participative experiments (palmas) and the visit of Sacromonte (district flamenco gypsy of Granada).
