The Day in Progreso is an opportunity to participate with students from Instituto Kanankil and Tecnológico de Progreso, in an exercise of performance that we have called Perpetuum Mobile, to signify the ways in which our everyday practices are continually transforming, inviting us to reflect on the co-existence of our multiple selves in the way we build our relationships. Translators will be available.

“… performance, understood as the social practice of generating knowledge transformation, customs, events, relationships, expressions - recreated over time by different communities.”

CAOS…TAOS
RESEÑA DEL TRABAJO PREVIO A TAOS PROGRESO 2011.
Van y vienen las emociones, se enredan y trepan por los cuerpos como hiedras de luz. Rocío, Papusa, Dora y Paco una vez más convocan a la lid: ¡que viene el TAOS!, ¡qué viene el TAOS a Progreso desde Galveston!
De nuevo, la creatividad, la originalidad, la pasión visten al Instituto Kanankil. Ante esto, estudiantes actuales y ex alumnos, docentes, admiradoras, amigos de los amigos, curiosos, creyentes y escépticos llegamos a la cita, sabiendo de antemano que se abre una aventura, como todo en Kanankil.
Es el primer encuentro en el Instituto y Salvador Lemis, el hombre-teatro dirige la acción: ¡haremos un performance!. 50 personas en un aula, sin experiencia escénica pero con audacia sobrada; 5 equipos, 5 temas: terapia y consejería; educación, enseñanza y aprendizaje; medio ambiente y sustentabilidad; organización, empresas y mundo laboral; desarrollo comunitario y cambio social.
Ideas base, esencias, diseño del performance, gente hablando e imaginando, tiempo que corre…por fin, la escenificación…
Miramos al anciano que recuerda su niñez libre de desperdicios ambientales, a las estatuas y al zombi, a la ciudad que se come a la naturaleza, a los integrantes de un circo que luchan por domeñar la basura y a la lucha que se desarrolla en el interior de un refrigerador.
Análisis del maestro Sal, salpicado de comentarios grupales, trabajo cumplido. Nos veremos en puerto Progreso el próximo sábado.
Es el segundo encuentro, ya estamos oliendo la sal y pisando arena junto a otros 50 compañeros, alumnos y docentes del Tec de Progreso. Otra vez Salvador con sus sabias y graciosas orientaciones, Rocío con su pasión. Dos grupos hasta hoy desconocidos entrambos, pero unidos por la incertidumbre…¿qué pasará ahora que somos equipo?
Magia, magia surge cuando el ejercicio de la semana anterior se repite, se enriquece: otras ideas, diversas esencias, maravillosas puestas escénicas. Muchas emociones de primeras veces, de completar experimentos aparentemente lejanos. Mentes y brazos unidos…una vez más…¡esto hace Kanankil!
Terminada la jornada, se hacen grupos disímbolos pero convergentes, los de Mérida y los de Progreso, unos quieren continuar conociéndose y otros nos vamos de regreso a la capital, con la pena de dejar atrás la sal y el calor. No importa, volveremos a construir nuevas cosas en dos semanas, en dos semanas regresaremos a otros encuentros y transformaciones.

TAOS CHAOS ...
REVIEW OF PREVIOUS WORK PROGRESS TO TAOS 2011.
Emotions come and go, get caught and climb like ivy bodies of light. Rocio Papusa, Dora and Paco again call upon the lid: that is the TAOS!, Which comes from Galveston to Progreso TAOS!
Again, creativity, originality, passion clothe the Kanankil Institute. Given this, current students and alumni, faculty, fans, friends of friends, curious, believers and skeptics come to the appointment, knowing that opens an adventure, like everything in Kanankil.
It is the first meeting at the Institute and Salvador Lemis, man-drama directed action: we will make a performance!. 50 people in a room without stage experience but boldly about, 5 teams, 5 tracks: therapy and counseling, education, teaching and learning, environment and sustainability, organization, business and workplace, community development and social change.
Basic ideas, essences, design performance, people talking and imagining, running time ... finally, the staging ...
We watched the old man recalls his childhood free of environmental waste, the statues and the zombie, the city that eats the nature, the members of a circus struggling to tame the trash and the fight taking place inside a refrigerator.
Analysis of teacher Sal, dotted with group feedback, work accomplished. See you in Progreso port on Saturday.
Is the second meeting, we are smelling the salt and sand stepping together with 50 other colleagues, students and faculty from Tec de Progreso. Salvador again with his wise and gracious guidance, sprinkle it with his passion. Two previously unknown groups both, but united by uncertainty ... what will happen now that we are team?
Magic, magic comes when the previous week's exercise is repeated, rich: other ideas, different scents, wonderful scene settings. Many emotions of firsts, apparently far from complete experiments. Minds and hands together ... again ... this makes Kanankil!
After the day, but dissimilar groups are converging, the Merida and Progreso, some want to continue to know each other we go back to the capital, with the penalty of leaving behind the salt and heat. No matter, we will build new things in two weeks, in two weeks will return to other events and transformations.

I have posted a reflective piece on Our Day in Progreso on our research blog, complete with a YouTube video. Take a look: www.womenmakingwaves.wordpress.com My working title for this piece was "Women Power in Progreso." But when I started reading about the women's movement in the Yucatan, defined as Maya women's passion for making the world a better place -- mundo mejor -- I chose this Spanish title. The echo of this phrase in the Michael Jackson hit "Make a Better Place," which our Progreso hosts sang for us caught my attention. There are no coincidences!
