Theater (7-11 anos)
Horarios
Theater (12-15 anos)
With students aged 12 to 15 we intend to approach the development of the character and the text, based on awareness of the body, voice, space and senses as working tools. I want them to learn important concepts about theatre, character, stage and props, as well as all the components needed to build a show.
We will also work from personal motivations and emotions to explore abilities that students are often unaware of.

Theater (Adultos | +16 anos)
Horarios
Theater (3- 6 anos)
A light, a piece of paper, an image, a song, an imaginary place, a story, a movement, a word, an object, a drop of paint, a cloud, a boy, a girl, a circle of new friends. Everything is a starting point to start creating and discovering art in the various forms it can inhabit.
Whether with giant steps or caterpillar walks we will start to play and discover new ways to imagine.

Theater (Adultos)
These classes are designed for people who have not yet experienced theatre or who want to return to it. With the maturity of the experiences we will develop a deeper work of the actor's game, starting from the practices and concepts introduced by Diderot, Stanislavski, Meyerhold, Brecht, Grotowsky, among others. ‘Art is a maturing, an evolution, an ascent that makes us capable of emerging from darkness into fantastic light.’ (Jerzy Grotwsky in ‘Towards a Poor Theatre’)
