The invited writers will be: Eduardo Abel Gimenez, Nicolás Schuff, Melina Pogorelsky and Juan Lima.

Yoga: During the five days of the colony, all participants will collectively take 20 minutes of practice in the foyer of the Teatro Colón before starting the workshops.

A small series with exercises and breathing positions will be dictated.

 

Guided tour: On Monday of each week the group will conduct a treasure hunt guided by Pearl, articulating actress, and the teaching staff with musicians and singers. They will visit different spaces of the Theater, where they will know their architectural heritage, the tasks, trades involved and stories of the world of one of the most important production theaters in the world. At the end of the girls and boys in the Colony of the Teatro Colón, they will find the treasure: their Artist Books. Each one will take their own to make a creative record of their experience in the colony.

 

Artist’s book: Many writers, plastic artists, musicians and filmmakers always carry a notebook to write or draw their ideas.

A notebook with trigger proposals that fit notes, findings, reflections, doubts, occurrences, agendas, drawings, chronicles, models, dreams and reflections.
