Free International Workshop | Theatre and Community – Sentimental Archaeology of a Territory

Held 17–28 August 2026, Monday to Friday, 19h30–22h30, at Unidade Roosevelt. Participants develop artistic and human awareness within community contexts through performative exercises covering composition, movement, sound score, scenic space organization, and costume/props design. Each exercise runs approximately 9 minutes, grounded in "Sentimental Archaeology of a Territory"—understanding "territory" as the community itself, encompassing its histories, tensions, and daily experiences. Led by Rui Germano, a Portuguese theatre director, master's graduate in theatre and community, and founder of Associação Cultural Beleza Teatro. Long-time partner of SP Escola Superior de Teatro, he facilitates and creates within international exchange projects, concentrating on collaborative practice and creative processes rooted in memory, personal experience, and art-community relations. His work generates scenic encounters fostering cultural exchange across different territories. Open to theatre students and general participants interested in the subject, ages 18+, without restriction. 35 places available. Applications accepted 16 June–10 August 2026. Selections announced 12 August 2026. Online enrolment 13–16 August 2026. Selection based on CV review and letter of interest. Contact extensao@spescoladeteatro.org.br with questions.
