Documentary Theatre Laboratories

About this workshop

‘Laboratórios de Teatro Documental’ (Documentary Theatre Laboratories) is a training activity run by the Hotel Europa company for theatre professionals who regularly collaborate with the company and is also open to other professionals and people involved in artistic creation. The aim of these laboratories is to work on documentary theatre from a multidisciplinary point of view, exercising the company’s creative disciplines, such as theatre, movement and sound. With these laboratories, we want to continue pushing the boundaries of what documentary theatre can be, as well as disseminating the knowledge gained over almost a decade to other performance professionals who are interested in this area of artistic creation.

In this workshop, the voice will guide participants in their relationship with themselves and with others. They will discover the voices that live within each of them, either by delving into technical aspects or by singing, speaking or improvising. Therefore, singing, reading, improvisation and technical development will be part of this journey, as well as the pleasure of the body/voice relationship.
