One key objective:
The Big "Elkar" Show!
One goal is to go about
creating a hybrid performance that would include dancers from here and
Euskadi. This will take several stages or steps over several
years. The particulars aren't set yet, it's still in the visionary
step at this point.

activities
-Becas de formación, para periodos inferiores a dos años, para cursar

MISSION STATEMENT. Currently txistu is taught to over 50 children
per year, yet there are fewer than 30 practicing txistulari. For many
dance groups, txistu is the easiest and most affordable live music. One
problem is that individual txistulari sometimes have no txistu group to
play with in their town, and no occasion to play for. Needed for
the next 4 years: access to materials in the US, a yearly Txistu Eguna,
a way for individual txistulari to stay in touch, practice and perform.
BETEZEA/IMPLEMENTATION. The person[s] who will be
responsible for making this happen are:
EGOERA/SITUATION.
