January 24 Diavolo Movement Assembly from the PTA Equity Committee
Information About the January 24 Diavolo Movement Assembly from the PTA Equity Committee
Dear Linwood E. Howe Families,
On January 24th, students have an assembly during the school day with the Diavolo movement company. Their website (diavolo.org) states their mission "is to create socially relevant work that celebrates the diversity and complexities of the humankind. By challenging an individual’s capacities and limitations, DIAVOLO restores one’s mental, physical and emotional strengths."
More from their website:
About DIAVOLO/Architecture in Motion
Seen by over 95 million people on America's Got Talent, the fearless, athletic daredevils of DIAVOLO | Architecture in Motion® are even more mesmerizing live and in person. Using benches, doors and ladders, the company builds appreciation for movement by breaking down barriers to dance. Founded by Jacques Heim, DIAVOLO is comprised of performers of varied abilities and training - dancers, gymnasts, rock climbers and actors. Through trust and collaboration, DIAVOLO illustrates that teamwork is as essential in dance as it is in life.
DIAVOLO's performance, titled "T.R.US.T.", is tailored to a school audience and explores this quintessential component of the Diavolo aesthetic. Dancers fly, fall, jump, catch and challenge their personal boundaries using structures such as doors, ladders and benches as vehicles for expressing their trust in one another. Their newest creation Voyage premiered at The Music Center's Ahmanson Theatre in 2018.
Here are a few questions you can ask your student about the performance:
1. How did the performers demonstrate teamwork?
2. What was your favorite set piece? Can you think of an everyday object to use as a set piece?
3. What ideas or feelings did you get from watching this performance?
To see a sample of this performance, go here:
