El día de hoy estuvo intenso, nos seguimos sorprendiendo de la capacidad, concentración, creatividad y entusiasmo de los chav@s de la comunidad.
El día comenzó con el
habitual calentamiento vocal y corporal a cargo de Fernando y Victoria
respectivamente, con el cual todo el grupo, incluidos guias, terminamos
bailando, saltando y moviendo todo el cuerpo al ritmo de la música.
Ayer hubo una
parrillada regalo de la comunidad a los niñ@s por su trabajo en la que quedaron
restos de basura que no se llegó a juntar en el momento por la lluvia, entonces
luego del calentamiento y mediante
un juego, el grupo salió corriendo a buscarla y en menos de 5 minutos junto
toda la basura del Centro Cultural Comunitario –CCC-.
La primer parte de la
jornada previa al receso cerró con teatro y una introducción al lenguaje
corporal coordinada por Fernando. En el primer ejercicio cada niñ@ pasó al
frente simplemente a mirar a sus compañer@s intentando relajar y no mover su
cuerpo, respirando suavemente. Luego se les entregó una máscara construida con
yeso, tela y papel de diario con la que los niñ@s acentuaron sus movimientos
siguiendo la expresion de la mascara y sus variantes de acuerdo al ángulo de la
misma. Fue una experiencia nueva para los niñ@s y muy divertida. Much@s que
anteriormente se encontraban apenados de participar, se animaron gracias a que
se sintieron menos expuestos al ocultar su cara. Como cierre de la actividad se trabajó la voz y la dicción,
elementos básicos para salir a escena que día a día se van fortaleciendo más y
más y así, vamos conociendo con alegría las nuevas voces que salen de ell@s.
Mientras regresaban de
sus casas pasado el receso, compartimos una bebida suramericana con los niñ@s
sorprendidos por la manera de tomar y compartir esa infusion: el mate. Para
sorpresa nuestra les gustó a pesar de su amargura, incluso vari@s repitieron la
ronda.
Una vez llegad@s tod@s,
comenzamos a escribir historias. Cada niñ@ escribió gracias a la gran
imaginación que traen y la que insipira el sitio, un relato acerca de los
aluxes en Yaxunah. Algun@s se los imaginaron en la milpa, otr@s en el cenote o
en sus casas. Lo que si fue un denominador común es que existen y están aquí
para cuidarlos a ell@s, a sus familias, a sus cultivos y a la comunidad toda.
Como última actividad
de la jornada, se esperaba introducir a los niñ@s en la construcción de
marionetas con los elementos orgánicos que rodean al CCC. El objetivo era que
tomaran consciencia de que se puede crear con aquellos elementos sin gastar
dinero, solamente recolectando y dejandose llevar por la imaginación. Para
sorpresa de tod@s nosotr@s, ell@s se entusiasmaron de tal manera que terminaron
de construir en un rato 3 marionetas: un aluxe, un rey y una reina. El tiempo
se pasó tan rápido que cuando dimos cuenta del horario, nos pasamos media hora
del cierre, eran las 3 de la tarde.
El hambre nos corría
entonces el círculo del final de jornada, lo hicimos directamente almorzando en
la casa de Doña Victoria, quién amablemente nos cocinó un exquisito guiso de
arroz con frijol con las infaltables tortillas torteadas a mano.
Un placer formar parte
de este grupo y enriquecer nuestros espiritus con estos niñ@s y su comunidad.

The day started with the usual vocal and body warm up in charge of Fernando y Victoria, at the end the whole group, kids as well as guides ended up dancing, jumping and moving the whole body to the rhythm of the music.
Yesterday there was a BBQ, it was a gift from the community for the kids because of all the hard work they have been doing. There was some garbage left from it because there was rain, so after the warm up and through the form of a game, the group went out, running to gather and in less than five minutes we gathered all the garbage left out at the Cultural Community Centre –CCC_.
During the first part of the day we worked on theater and an intro to body language led by Fernando. In the first exercise every kid went in front of the group simply to look at his/her peers, trying to relax and not move the body, brathing softly. After, a mask made out of plaster, cloth and paper, was introduced to the kids. With the mask exercise Fernando was looking to accentuate their movements following the expression of the mask and their variants according to the angle of it. It was a very new experience for the kids and it was a lot of fun. A lot of the kids that did not feel comfortable participating before opened up because the fact that they could hide their face. To close the morning there was a voice and diction, basic elements to perform a scene, and day by day they are becoming stronger and we start getting to know the new voices that come out of them.
While the kids started to come back from recess we shared with the kids a South American drink, they were amazed and surprised by the way it is drank and shared: Mate. To our own surprise they liked it even though the bitter taste, some even did it twice.
Once all of them arrived, the group started writing stories. Each kid wrote a story thanks to their great imagination and the inspiration of this place about aluxes (Mayan Elfs) en Yaxunah. Some of them imagined the aluxes in their plantations, others in the Cenote or in their house. The common denominator is that they do exist and they are here to take care of them, their families, their plantations and the whole community.
As the last activity of the day, Abraham introduced the kids to puppet making using organic elements around the CCC. The objective is to create consciousness and to create without spending money, only collecting items and letting the imagination fly. To our surprise, they were so enthusiastic that they were able to finish 4 puppets. One Aluxe, a king, a queen and a “gringo.” Time flew by so fast that when we realized we were half and hour over our time, it was 3pm.
Hunger took us out of the place and the guides had their closing circle while we were eating at Doña Victoria’s house, who kindly made us an exquisite kidney bean soup mixed with rice and the fluffly tortillas made by hand.
It is a pleasure to be part of this group and enrich our spirits with these kids and their community.
