“How to speak to whom about what”. The art of form: Dialogue, Monologue and Situation
For more information you can contact obrador@salabeckett.cat
For those who want to enjoy the entire day of Obrador d’estiu activities we offer a 10€ menu at El Menjador de la Beckett. Reservations must be made before 11/07.
In this practical workshop we are going to explore the boundaries of theatrical form. Together, we will experiment with dialogue, monologue, inner voice and flashback —we will play with structure to discover new ways of telling stories on stage.
Who gets to speak? How does a moment gain meaning within the whole? Through writing exercises, shared invention and attentive listening, we will uncover fresh perspectives on voice, presence and narrative.
