THE WORKSHOP

During these two days of applied theatre workshop we will work in a creative and rigorous environment in order to deepen the paths that Community and Social Theatre uses to connect with people.

Each participant, regardless of their previous background, will be able to explore how, through the Performing Arts and the body as an instrument, it is possible to create an atmosphere of safety and trust capable of opening the doors of feeling and emotion, both individual and collective.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

This workshop has a double objective: to train and to care. It provides technique and at the same time hope.

On the one hand, it offers concrete tools for working with highly complex groups, and on the other, it is a space of care and reinforcement for the performing arts professionals who take on this challenge. It is training but also emotional support.

The main objective of this workshop is to understand theatre as a tool for social and community transformation, which at the same time enriches professional practice and nurtures personal motivation.

The specific objectives are:

• Acquire theatrical tools to work with highly complex groups in a social and community context.
• Explore social and community theatre methodologies that foster participation and inclusion.
• Adapt dynamics to the needs and rhythms of groups.
• Reinforce the motivation and professional identity of community artists.
• Promote self-care and collective trust to prevent burnout and strengthen networking.

METHODOLOGY – WORKSHOP STRUCTURE

Theatrical activation and awareness games, trust and non-verbal listening for working with highly complex groups; the use of Theatre in conflict transformation.

Theory: recap of the exercises experienced and how to structure a schedule with a highly complex group. Daily logbook of exercises and discussion of schedules with specific groups.
