Serendipity - Theatre games and collage workshop

Rooted in the notion of serendipity, the art of making fortunate, unexpected discoveries while seeking something else, this workshop offers a space to let go of control in a world of predictable routines, be surprised, and rediscover authenticity.

During this journey, we propose to address basic notions of theatrical dynamics and games that allow us to use the body as raw material for the creative process of a collage.

We'll dive with the imagination: establish connections, intuit, assemble and disassemble ideas, movements, sensory exploration, situations, cut and paste, use ingenuity… and throw away preconceived ideas to get surprised with a new proposal.

The journey outline

Theatrical games

Free your body and awaken your creativity through movement and improvisation, led by Malena.—No scripts, no score, just your body and boundless imagination, unlocking through voice, movement, and laughter.

Sensory diving

With eyes gently veiled, you’ll drift on a soundscape, touching, tasting, and inhaling textures and aromas. Here, curiosity reigns: feeling your senses bloom as you surrender to the unexpected.

Collage alchemy

Express your discoveries through the composition of an analog collage with Catalina, transforming emotions and sensations into visual art. Let fragments of magazines become portals to the serendipitous discoveries you’ve made.

Who can join?

Anyone over 18 who wants to reconnect with their senses, move freely, and create lasting memories through presence and creativity. No previous experience in theater, sensory practices, or art is needed.

What to bring

Just your open heart and presence! Comfortable clothes for moving and sweating. All materials will be provided.
Important: The workshop is done barefoot on a clean, smooth floor.
