Title: Put some popcorn in your salsa
Resources: wiggle, pop, step, stop
Tasks:
1) Googlea. "Celia Cruz" and choose a song
2) Imagínate. The 9 highlighted corn kernels are on your floor
3) Pruébalo. Step in and out of them while following the beat of the music
4) Muévelo. The kernels move through your space.
5) No Pares. Sigue Sigue! Follow them. Follow the music. Get what you need.
6) Sacúdete. Wiggle and pop your spine, pelvis, upper torso, and head together or alone whenever you want. Forget what it looks like.
7) Tranquilízate. Every now and then, pause. Listen to the music.
8) Guarachea. Respond to Celia’s voice. Go for the drama! Is the corn sweet? Azúcar!

"​​In these times of ending and returning postcolonial struggles, postmodern recovery and "green sustainability" (to use some trendy terms), artists working in third intervals, at the margins of mainstream productivity would have to be at once very primitive and very cultured. Awkwardly, efficiently "low" and competently, unfittingly "high"; shuttling effortlessly between the avant- and arriére-garde and surfing in and out from the middle, between all fixed extremities. Socially marginalized, groups could thus be both provocatively high-tech, and defiantly vernacular in their creative moves."
