Bodies, identities and territories is a series of training workshops on performance, organised by Paraíso Local Creativo, and is part of RASPA Red Asturiana de Performace y Acción, an initiative of LABoral to help artists and performance managers in Asturias participate and play a main role thus collaborating in the development and support of the theory and practice of performance.
Paraíso Local Creativo (http://www.localparaiso.org/ ) joins RASPA organising this activity on performance that opens the programme of activities designed for 2015. Based on their understanding of performance as a tool for social and political transformation, the collective detects the need to bring contemporary art closer to the community and build bridges between the different regional actors, as well as to generate accessible collective creative processes.

He has developed a didactic system of plastic art at Universidad Popular de Xixón and founded spaces such as Luzernario Taller de Arte Actual and EspaciuAstragal, which are art references in Asturias. Member of más de un Paraíso, his commitment with social art and local culture introduces a dialogue between bodies, objects and traditions in the territory.
