Info: El Centro Ceremonial Indígena de Caguana no es solo un parque, sino un yacimiento arqueológico sagrado taíno, de alrededor del siglo 13. Por eso, nuestra práctica se adaptará a las reglas del centro, siempre con el máximo respeto que este lugar histórico/sagrado merece. El viaje por la Ruta 10 hacia la Cordillera Central en Utuado es un espectáculo en sí mismo, con vistas impresionantes de los icónicos mogotes y majestuosos acantilados de piedra caliza.
Horario y Costo: El parque abre todos los días de 9:00 AM a 4:00 PM. La entrada cuesta $5 para adultos y $3 para niños de 6 a 13 años, pagaderos solo en efectivo. Tu boleto incluye acceso al museo y al área arqueológica. Calcula unos 45 minutos para explorar el museo y las plazas ceremoniales. Tendrás tiempo de sobra después del GUS.
Accesibilidad: El museo es accesible para sillas de ruedas, pero las plazas ceremoniales no lo son.
Servicios: Hay baños disponibles cerca del estacionamiento y dentro del museo.
Áreas de Actividad: Si los campos de pelota están mojados y el acceso está restringido, buscaremos otro espacio adecuado dentro del parque para nuestras actividades.
Cómo Llegar: Desde la Ruta 22 (área de Arecibo), toma la Ruta 10 Sur hacia Utuado.
Luego, gira a la derecha en la Carretera 111. El parque está en el KM 48.6 de la Carretera 111, a tu izquierda, con amplio estacionamiento gratuito. *Ten en cuenta que la Carretera 111 es sinuosa, así que conduce con precaución y disfruta el paisaje.

Campo Escondido
Info: GLOBAL UNDERSCORE SABATO 21 GIUGNO 2025, a cura di Davide Casiraghi e Blu Silvia Masnada. Un pomeriggio dedicato alla Contact Improvisation, nello specifico al Global Underscore. Uno splendido posto immerso nella natura, Campo Escondido; una grande pedana in legno rivestita con tappeto danza dove poter danzare godendo dello spettacolo naturale che la circonda. Il Global Underscore è una pratica molto affascinante e profonda, creata da Nancy Stark Smith nel 1990. Si tratta di una jam strutturata che segue una sequenza di focus, passando da momenti di assolo e sensibilizzazione alla gravità, fino agli incontri con gli altri danzatori e danzatrici, il tutto vivendo nel presente e in armonia con l’ambiente naturale circostante. È un modo per esplorare il corpo e la mente attraverso il movimento, con un’attenzione particolare alla consapevolezza e all’interazione.
Ogni anno, il Global Underscore si svolge in tutto il mondo, spesso durante il solstizio d’estate. Fu organizzato per la prima volta nel 2000 da Claire Filmon e Laura Porter Blackburn a Parigi. È un evento molto speciale perché permette a gruppi di persone di praticare contemporaneamente, creando un senso di connessione globale.

Desde 2000 temos praticas de CI em Florianópolis no contexto do ensino da Dança Contemporânea, que a profa Zilá Muniz trazia. A partir de 2009 Ana Alonso inicia um processo de promover a prática do CI com regularidade e como dança em si o ‘Entrando em Contato’. Em 2010 Mayana Marengo também desenvolve estudos e propostas de CI na cidade. Em 2011 cria-se o coletivo Plano B com proposições de CI e também improvisação na rua. A partir de 2009 cria-se um festival bienal de CI na Natureza, neste festival cria-se em 2018 um Protocolo com foco na segurança de mulheridades durante a prática do CI. O coletivo Desterra forma-se em 2019 em torno do projeto Andanças Poéticas na Cidade, com foco no CI e perspectivas performativas e pedagogicas. O Protocolo criado em 2018 segue sendo referencia para a comunidade de praticantes, que tem proposto especialmente Jams semanais. Outras coletividades e praticantes dedicados vão construindo a experiência do CI na ilha, num caleidoscópio de tempos e danças!” Contato e Consentimento. Política na Dança. Corpos Dissidentes no CI
