RAW : “Pure. In a natural state, not treated by manufacturing or other processes. Powerfully impressive.”

The Block Dance Crew is a group of young people who began self-taught dancing in the streets of Barcelona, each one with their own style. One year ago, Barcelona's Espai Jove Garcilaso (City Council Civic Center), gave them a room in which to practice. And since this point they have been developing, teaching one another. Dance has given them an outlet to express themselves, but most importantly, it has brought them together, allowed them to find and support each other as a multicultural group.

Ronald is the group representative, the point of contact for everyone. In this audiovisual piece he represents the beginning of a creation of an energy and so he transmits it to the rest of the group, and then from one to the other across the architectonic space of CaixaForum.

The raw dancers draw on a “white canvas” with their energy and movements.
