Creative pandemic: IMPROVISATION WITH HOMEMADE UTENSILS
Staying at home, more than a way to contain and prevent the coronavirus pandemic, is an invitation to a creative meeting. The house is the symbolic stage where the plots of everyday life take place, it is the guardian of memory, dreams and where affections are woven. To speak of home is to speak of family, an affective community indispensable for the construction of human material.
The project “Creative pandemic: home theater workshops” seeks to stimulate and enhance the exploration of the countless creative possibilities that the home can provide. In thirty-minute sessions, guided by professional actors, we intend to share with the virtual audience creative inducers based on games and theatrical techniques that stimulate individual and collective imagination and creativity.
The main objective is to stimulate memory, imagination, creativity and to exercise voice and body as a way to promote mental and physical health, and to combat stress, anxiety, panic, among other ills that can result from this confinement situation.
Interaction and Creative contagion: after each session the audience will be challenged to record a video of the performance that was induced to create and share on digital platforms.
