More than 40 dancers linked to the SJD Health Park participate in Five Days to Dance, an inclusive dance show
- Throughout the week, users, professionals, volunteers and citizens have co-created Oasi, a community and inclusive show, under the direction of the company De Loopers.
- For the second consecutive year, the Park hosts this community project that fights against stigma and uses art as a tool for well-being, expression and social bonding.
The inclusive dance project Five Days to Dance has returned to the Sant Boi site of the Sant Joan de Déu Health Park for the second consecutive year.
During five days of intensive work, people assisted by different services of the Park, professionals, volunteers and citizens have participated in a process of collective creation that aims to build a shared choreography based on diversity, inclusion and community work.
Rehearsals are guided by the dance-theater companyFrom Loopers, specializing in participatory and educational artistic projects, led by dancersAmaya Lubeigt and Wilfried Van Poppel.
In this second edition, more than 40 people linked to different services and programs of the Health Park participated: the Sant Jordi Occupational Center, Sant Carles, the Recupera't unit, the UHEDI and the Torrents d'Art workshops, as well as educators, monitors, volunteers and participants external to the Park.
All of them form a heterogeneous group that, in just five days, builds a shared stage piece through the body, movement and collective listening.
Five Days to Dance: much more than a show
Five Days to Dance is much more than a stage proposal. It is a community and destigmatising project that uses art as a tool for wellbeing, expression and social connection. The initiative creates meeting spaces for people with very diverse realities, fostering inclusion and focusing on the creative process over the final result.
In this edition, the show Oasis becomes a metaphor for this shared space of care, respect and coexistence. A meeting place where paths are created, a place of life open to everyone. A fertile space, of peace, of rest. A place where you can simply be. An OASIS of unity, vibrant and moving, full of expressive strength and collective emotion.
With this new edition, the Sant Joan de Déu Health Park consolidates Five Days to Dance as one of the institution's most transversal Arts in Health proposals, aligned with the program Torrents of Art. The project has also been consolidated as one of the most outstanding activities of the Peripheries 2026 program, along with the Tastets d'ART and the Arts in Health Conference held last week, which places arts and culture at the center of the Park's community and healthcare life during the first half of May.
