Inspired by the Blue Planet, the Blue Method was conceived with the aim of nurturing deep bonds between human beings and nature. Artistic education merges with environmental education to create a space for rapprochement with nature, where artistic expression manages the emotional components responsible for the interiorization and structuring of principles for valuing the natural world.

The Blue Method follows 4 principles:

1. Writing of poems inspired by nature by children and invited poets.

2. Composition of songs based on poems.

3. Creation of specific musician-theater plays for children and with children, based on poetry, the forces of nature, indigenous rhythms and songs and meditative techniques.

4. Continuous movement on stage, where singing and dancing intersect successively

The Blue Method has collaborated since 2016 with the following institutions with the following institutions:

Workshops * Summer camps * Activities

Blue Method Workshops can be integrated into Summer Camps or in sessions with a minimum of two hours. The themes always address Planet Earth and the relationship between human beings and Nature. The basic principles of all Blue Method activities are creativity and disciplinary crossings: environment and science, music, dance, theater, creative writing, painting, emotional intelligence and meditation. The Blue Method stories are created from scratch for children and with children, in order to correspond to the specific nature of each group.

Piano lessons at the Rio Tinto Cultural Center.

1. Piano lessons with Ana Maria Pinto are based on the awakening of creativity, sensitivity and emotional intelligence.

2. Each class is given meditative practices, written new musical pieces based on the child's imagination, which are then written on score.

3. Each child has the opportunity to compose his songs and invent his own stories based on emotions, the forces of nature.

4. Singing and nature are always combined with the learning of the piano. Each melody is sung to naturally awaken the child's sense of breath and musical phrase.

5. Classical music is always present, through listening to the great works of Western culture, while painting specific drawings for the development of concentration.

Theater classes at the Rio Tinto Cultural Center - Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
