MOVEMENT at the Service of Artistic Creation
Theatrical Laboratory with Carlos García Estévez (physical theatre teacher, Spain)
- 21-23 November, 2025, Lisbon
ABOUT THE LABORATORY
An intensive exploration of movement as the foundation of artistic creation.
We will observe movement in everyday life and in nature, exploring how every action generates a reaction - and how this simple law gives rise to expression.
- Focus and Approach
- The body as the main instrument of artistic expression.
- Continuous dialogue between inner and outer space.
- Investigation of tempo, rhythm, energy and dynamics, rather than superficial imitation.
- Discovery of the poetic essence of movement - how the body relates to the world and evokes emotion, imagination, and meaning.
WHO IS IT FOR
- This laboratory is designed for actors, performers, dancers, and creators interested in deepening their physical and expressive awareness.
- It also serves as a foundation for further work in clowning, mask performance, and Commedia dell’Arte.
- It will, as well, be beneficial for curious souls who are eager to explore their physicality and the impact they create on people around them when they move.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- A creative and practical journey where movement becomes a bridge between technique and poetry - between the physical and the imaginative.
- An opportunity to experience how movement can suggest, evoke, and dream beyond ordinary life.
