This is an open call for participants to join the physical theatre group (Level: Curious). For people who are curious to explore and experience the basics of this performative technique through 5 lessons.

We’ll share with you a practice (inspired by Self-With-Others by John Britton) that focuses on the performer with care and presence, inviting pleasure, building self-acceptance, and working with positive feedback only.

If you want to explore your body, creativity, and expression, this is a safe space for that.

No experience needed: It doesn't matter whether you have experience in physical theatre, theatre, dance, or anything else.
The only thing that matters is your full motivation to participate!

And remember: you are enough as you are.
The group needs you exactly as you are.

Facilitators:
Agita - Works with intuition, feelings, levels of tension, natural body movement, physical theatre, dance, and a personal, never-ending curiosity and admiration of the beauty of people being their authentic selves.

Danai - A passionate improv performer and a creative. Bring the technique of physical theatre for this performance. Creates the space of full acceptance through bringing the focus in positive feedback and facilitates a structure for the group to co-create.

This is an open call for teenagers aged 14–18 to join a creative group that will develop and perform a monologue-based performance.

Through a Devised Theatre–inspired process, we explore shared themes within the group and transform personal experience, movement, and writing into monologues and performance material.

These will become the foundation for the performance. Together, we will work with existing monologues, create original texts, and develop characters that come together in a collective theatrical piece.

A public or private performance is optional. Currently, we perform at O LUGAR, a 50-seat black-box theatre. The group will have the chance to collectively decide if they wish to perform and in what setting.

No previous acting experience is required.
Many participants begin with no background in theatre. What matters is curiosity, openness, and a willingness to show up and take part in the process.

This is not a traditional drama class.
You won’t be asked to “act like someone else” — instead, you will explore being yourself, supported by facilitators and a group of peers doing the same.

The group needs you exactly as you are.
