Writing through Acting
Creative workshop open to actors, playwrights and anyone interested in building a story for the stage
From 13/07/2026 to 18/07/2026
The stage is the place where actions speak, whether those actions are written, played, or implied. I have always worked with both actors and playwrights in the same way because, even if we use different tools (laptops or bodies), we all try to do the same thing: tell a story[...]

Writing the Outline
Writing the Outline
Teacher: Mark Ravenhill ,
From 13/07/2026 to 18/07/2026
Some playwrights begin writing with almost nothing and discover the play as they write. Some write a detailed outline before they begin. Both ways of working can produce good plays.  In this workshop, we will focus on a variety of approaches to creating an outline before writing a play and how[...]

The Serious Side of Comedy
Playwriting workshop
Teacher: Pau Miró ,
From 13/07/2026 to 18/07/2026
Making jokes is no simple thing. It requires a sound knowledge of the rules of dramatic writing to push them to the limit, squeeze them, break them... You have to work on the pacing of the lines, because writing a play is, in the end, like composing a score, with[...]

Writing course open to all levels
From 13/07/2026 to 18/07/2026
“Never play to the gallery” – D. Bowie Unconditional love gives and does not hold back. Why should we hold anything back when telling a story? Because of rules?  “Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom,[...]

The real as a device
Playwriting workshop for all levels
From 13/07/2026 to 15/07/2026
There are materials that we do not invent. They are there: in a recording, in a file, in a forgotten transcription, in an image that went unnoticed, in the mouth of someone who lived through something that we did not experience... This workshop starts with a difficult question to answer:[...]

We’re all anachronistic! The possibilities for a dynamic dialogue, here and now, with characters from the repertoire
Specialized playwriting workshop
From 16/07/2026 to 18/07/2026
We have been handed down a history of theatre in which we are called to take a stance, either for or against, and sometimes both. As heirs to a repertoire, several time dimensions coexist within us, and we are made up of different influences, with which, consciously or unconsciously, we[...]
