The report has a qualitative approach, the method used was participant observation and the techniques used were observation, interview, and field notetaking. The main conclusions of the community intervention point to a dynamic and questioning effect on the participants' self-perception of their skills and resources and their role in the family.

 Article "Borders and Bridges between Real and Imaginary. (In english) 

This article discusses our reflections on how to holistically integrate reality embodied in virtual workspaces--what we perceive within our work and interaction with technology-and highlights the importance of documenting our exploration in times while Artificial Intelligence is developing. Our approach is divided into three parts: the boundaries and bridges between the real and the imaginary, the possibilities of existence and non-existence offered by technology, and the experiences of expressive arts practitioners within virtuality.

 Research-Creation in dance: "How to return to desire? Minka for the creation of collaborative choreography". (In French and Spanish)

This research examines how the concepts of reciprocity, commitment and complementarity of "Minka", ancestral knowledge from the Andes, can be used to introduce technical dance skills to people who have not been trained as dancers. Using the skills of each individual, "Minka choreography" is a short-circuiting method that creates a "safe" space for the introduction of complex dance concepts and creates collaborative choreographies that, in turn, generate situated knowledge. 

 Research - Intervention "From Imagination to Actual Reality: How to enjoy choosing". (In Spanish and English)

This research showed how expressive arts methodology helps us build a path of self-knowledge that enables us to make pleasure-based choices. This was the starting point for introducing the methodology into organizational and social responsibility contexts, where working time is limited and many actors and stakeholders are involved.
