Contemporary Theatre

Based on Jaime Dorner’s South American training as an actor this workshop involves a fusion of contemporary techniques in theatre and some tribal dances. It will be based on a devised production in which both the connection with our own biography as human being, and the sense of ensemble, will be fundamental. The point of view will be the starting point of this workshop.

“We go together in this journey (theatre) because we have the need to say and share something with our audiences, that is our responsibility and privilege”.
