Bounce along to the beats and feel the rhythm of a big band like you’ve never felt before. Basket Beat from Barcelona will open the International Community Arts Festival (ICAF) on March 29, 2023, in Theater Zuidplein with a concert in which basketball plays a striking leading role. Together with dozens of young people from Rotterdam and a professional band from Barcelona, Basket Beat will dribble up exciting beats and give a sporty percussion performance in which you won\u2019t be able to sit still! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Basket Beat Association is a collective that, since 2009, accompanies people through socio-educational, community, and political group processes. The organization makes use of music to mobilize and promote critical reflection around the personal and collective actions of the participants but also around the functioning of the educational, artistic, and social systems and the professionals involved. Basketbeat aim to build connections between different people, organizations, and their respective
knowledges and epistemologies, to open new possibilities, as well as to create tension and discomfort within the institutions we often work in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For ICAF, Basket Beat, their work and methodology fully embody this years\u2019 theme of \u201cThe Sound of Change\u201d. The performance with the group of young people from Rotterdam will not only be welcomed as a joyous and festive moment to celebrate the ICAF community coming back together after so many years apart, but will showcase the power sound and music hold to empower communities, share knowledge, and experience, and connect people across contexts and backgrounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Basket Beat is an entity, a project and a methodology with which they accompany people in their personal growth, especially those with fewer opportunities, through the creation and learning of music in groups and with basketballs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most powerful examples of how sound, rhythm, music, and percussion can contribute to positive change is Basket Beat from Barcelona. Basket Beat is a participatory music project, and working methodology, developed by Josep Maria Aragay, that uses basketballs as percussion instruments to help young people in disadvantaged situations or in closed institutions such as prisons, with their personal development and critical thinking skills.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through workshop formats, Basket Beat facilitate valuable group processes where participants learn to trust each other and feel responsible for one another - because they are all equally responsible for keeping the rhythm alive. With their combination of social-artistic work, sound, rhythm, beats and group work, Basket Beat show how making music together can build bridges between people from many different contexts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project was born in 2009 from the hand of Josep M\u00aa Aragay who, after 3 years working in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bembarked on a journey with the desire to learn from other experiences as well as disseminate and evaluate the methodology he had developed.\u00a0He visited 120 community arts projects and conducted more than 75 workshops and talks that have taken Basketbeat to Britain, France, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Brazil, South Africa, the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Iran and Kosovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The raison d'\u00eatre of Basketbeat is to carry out socio-educational workshops in schools, institutes, prisons, public facilities, etc.\u00a0The content they generate during this workshops leads to research and publications as well as the providing of training for students and professionals on the social use of the arts and the Basketbeat methodology.\u00a0Basketbeat have also created a basketball orchestra that offers career opportunities for young people. They also hold workshops with companies to offer Team Building sessions.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Basketbeat","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"basketbeat","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-25 16:29:11","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-25 15:29:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/makers\/basketbeat\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"maker","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"edition":15,"makers_involved":[2678],"also_interesting":[175,766]},"programmes":{"2023032920230329":{"20:30:0021:20:00":[{"id":457,"title":"The Basketbeat Project","type":"productions","production_count":1,"start_date":"20230329","date":[{"day_name":"Wed","day":"29","month":"March","month_abbrev":"Mar","year":"2023","timestamp":"2023-03-29"}],"time":"20:30 - 21:20"}]}},"days":["20230329"],"makers":{"2678":"Basketbeat"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/productions\/170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/productions"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/production"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/productions\/170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2304,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/productions\/170\/revisions\/2304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=170"},{"taxonomy":"edition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/editions?post=170"},{"taxonomy":"festival_production_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/festival_production_types?post=170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
