The Bartel Foundation cooperates in the implementation of the project destined for the artistically talented youth of 13 – 25 years of age. The project was selected to be implemented in the competition announced by the Book Institute within the Julian Tuwim Year.
Year 2013 is the sixtieth anniversary of the Poet’s death (he died on 27 December 1953 in Zakopane) and the hundredth anniversary of his poetical debut in the „Kurier Warszawski” daily.
“The both anniversaries – as can be reads in the text of the resolution voted by the Parliament – constitute the opportunity to pay homage to this great poet who shaped the language, imagination and the social sensitiveness of many generations of Poles, who taught them the sense of humour and showed the optimism of everyday life.” (…) The poetry of Julian Tuwim is one of the most important proposals in the 20th century to cultivate the art of word. The rich ad versatile works of the author of “Kwiaty polskie” [Polish Flowers] constitute the vivid and attractive proposal for the readers of every generation. The Parliament of the Republic of Poland, being convinced of the special significance of the poet’s literary output for the national heritage, proclaims the year 2013 as the year of Julian Tuwim.”
The project will take from the half of September till the beginning of December 2013. The youth will participate in musical , vocal, and dancing workshops under the leadership of experienced tutors.
As a result of the project the music and dance spectacle will be created staged in a professional theatre. Also the recording session will be organised and its effects will be published in the mass media. Specially for the needs of the project the outstanding artist, Joachim Mencel, has prepared the music to the selected works of Julian Tuwim, and Anita Podkowa and Aleksander Kopański have prepared original choreography.
The professional supervision over the project is provided by the Krakow Jazz and Entertainment Music School and by the Professor Bartel Foundation.
The vocal and musical classes are held at 19b Romanowicza Street (the hall of Cracow Groove Lab), and the dancing classes at No 2 Combined Sports and General Education Schools at 35 Teatralne Os and at No 14 Combined General Education Schools at Dywizjonu 303 Os.
