DANCE, WORD AND PICTURE PROJECT – PAINTING WORKSHOP
Today, Prof. Dr. Snežana Arnautović Stjepanović held a painting workshop at the Branko Pešić Elementary School with children aged 8 to 13.
The Dance, Word and Picture workshops were initiated by the Belgrade Dance Institute, which are realized through a series of free workshops on artistic dance, creative writing and painting, which are intended for Roma children in primary and secondary education. The project is supported by the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights and Social Dialogue.
The Association of the Belgrade Dance Institute recognized the need for the realization of this project based on the work done so far in the field of artistic education, in which a very small number of Roma children are represented. During the seven years of work and organization of master classes, open doors, free workshops, we have not had Roma students so far.
Our goal is to enable the participation of female Roma children who do not have the same rights and freedoms in their community, by promoting the possibility of free expression in the field of art and especially working to encourage and strengthen the self-confidence of participants.
The program is led by professors with many years of work experience in their field: Ognjen Vučinić (contemporary dance), Prof. dr Miomir Petrović (creative writing) and Prof. dr Snežana Arnautović Stjepanović (painting).
