Even if the had a stable career as an engineer, he decided to perform and research clowning on the streets of Bogota. In 2012, he travelled to France to further his experience in this discipline. From 2013 to 2015, he completed an 18-month training program in public art creation. Since then, he has been experimenting with the energy that clowning provides and using performative arts to participate in the pre-creation and re-evolution of humanity. For the past 10 years, Camilo has been residing in Slovenia and uses his clowning skills for community engagement, street performances, and as a tool for intercultural dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>More about Camilo:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-el-width-100 vc_video-align-left\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Camilo Acosta Mendosa: Clowning Energy in Action \/ Personal stories series\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kx03VB4mPlU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>About the project:<\/p>\n<p>On September 28, 2022, Camilo Acosta Mendoza brought Colombia to life for pupils in the last third of primary school at O\u0160 Gradec, Litija. Camilo, a Colombian who has lived in Slovenia for five years, introduced the children to Colombia through music. During the workshop, pupils participated in the performance of Colombian rhythms, including &#8220;cumbia,&#8221; which originates from the Caribbean coast of Colombia but is popular throughout South and Central America.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div

Cumbia<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Camilo conducted interactive workshops that allowed the pupils to experience and understand a part of Colombian culture through music. They learned how Colombian rhythms, such as &#8220;cumbia,&#8221; are a result of the indigenous, Spanish, and African cultures, reflecting the complex historical relationships between these groups in Colombia. This history is a rich tapestry of different cultures and traditions, which has been woven together over time through trade, colonization, and the movement of people. Cumbia is therefore a beautiful example of how cultures have influenced each other in many ways, including in music, which is a crucial part of Colombia&#8217;s cultural identity. By learning about how the &#8220;cumbia&#8221; rhythm was formed through this intersection of cultures, the pupils were able to gain a deeper understanding of the history and cultural heritage of Colombia. They learned how different cultures have shaped each other over time, and how this has resulted in the unique musical traditions that exist today in Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The pupils created rhythms using simple improvised instruments, as well as their hands and feet, and had a lot of fun while doing so. Camilo used clowning skills to teach pupils cumbia rhythm in a fun way, implemented interactive activities so they would learn more about Colombia and presented Colombia through the rhythm of cumbia. Pupils then created cumbia rhythm and music with recycled instruments and percussions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This project was supported by APIS Institute, Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Camilo Acosta Mendoza was born in Colombia [...]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":947,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/851"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artisus-project.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
