LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, July 14, 2011: This sounds like a very complicated question, but in the face of the 14th World Gymnaestrada it is easy to answer: They all share the passion for Gymnastics.
The 3 teammates Daniela Fonseca, translator, Marilia Franceschinelli de Souza, math teacher, and Ana Luisa Lorenzeti, statistician have joined the Brazilian group Grupo Ginastico UNICAMP (GGU) from different walks of life and gymnastic levels.
The group lead by Marco Antonio Coelho Bortoleto with the assistance of Larissa Graner has a very interesting gymnastic approach. The first differential is that to join the group there is no requirement of previous gymnastic training. Each individual needs to have the desire to learn and keep the research on Gymnastics. The second differential is the group objective. Through simple choreographs the team’s goal is to reach kids in schools and spread the practice of Gymnastics in Brazil and the World.
The GGU is a unique group because it is partially sponsored by the university Universidade Estadual de Campinas, but moreover; it is utilised by the university as an academic research platform on the development of Gymnastics in the country.
Brazil is a country where the population reality is one of few resources and poverty. Therefore, their proposal is to show to kids and educators that resources are everywhere and with creativity everyone can get involved with Gymnastics. The group has performances with water bottles, soda cans, discarded wires and even newspapers. Any alternative material is transformed in props for the group’s routines. If the group can show kids to utilise the resources that they have around them, they believe that more people will get moving and live a healthier life style instead of being stagnated on the vicious cycle of not doing something due to the lack of resources available.
The team is not interested in competition, even among them, they have many different levels of fitness and each individual contributes with their skills and talents – inside and outside of Gymnastics.
After their presentations at World Gymnaestrada in Lausanne, the group continues on tour to Denmark where they have a well establish exchange of talent with the local federation. The tour comprises of 6 presentations of 30 minutes in different cities. They will bring some of the routines performed in Lausanne and add different ones as well.
For the World Gymnaestrada City Performance, GGU brought their colourful piabas (Brazilian fish) and made the Place de la Riponne dance during lunch time at the sound of an upbeat Brazilian folkloric song.
