Workshop Objectives

The workshop will consist on four parts where the word emerges as a theatrical creation 

engine. Working with four parts or four different times involves pursuing four different 

objectives, which should be measurable.

Each part is responsible for generating defined and specific materials:

Week 1‐ Table work around the autor, teorical material and study

Week 2‐ Generate Extra scenic Support materials and training

Week 3‐ Define the creative way of each scene

Week 4‐ Ensamble of the differents scenes and the creation of the show.

The four times seek to develop three different aspects of the director:

Authorship, creatuvity, stimulation and Responsibility

First and Second week: Meeting the actor, enter to subject, table work, debates

Depending on each play of Koltes, the preparation of daily rehearsals based on promoting theacting group, the greater possibility of creation based on the text to be sought. It's not about

"staging" or "making a text". This moment is to use the platform as a promoter of textual

creation. What materials, scenes, games, limits, is capable of travelling actor based on this

text.

The methodology involves starting from the base, the reading of the text is supposed to go

through the memory of the actor, the representation, spatial possibilities and creating

narrative devices.

A creative process involves adding lines thinking about moral and ethics in the art object.

This week is critical as it promotes the multiplicity of ways and possibilities locked in a text.

This is the first rule, forcing the appearance of theatrical spaces that do not emerge in the firstreading. This provision must be made with all the expressive, technical and intellectual tools

that the creative team has.

Third and fourth week: Theatricality.

Based on what has been created and experienced so far, now improving the selection of the

materials suitable for the representation created is imposed.

It is the week to help to improve and refine the materials found, which involves work in

several directions simultaneously: generate a full notion of the work; determine creative

responsibilities for each actor: signalling pathways to explore in each level of the creative act

so that all involved can move creators.

The director as a leader: this is leading a collaborative process, where everyone has

contributed, everyone is responsible for the materials, but someone should take the safe and

decisive voice who, in the success or failure, will define the final paths to travel.
