Street theatre, as well as being a means of bringing cultural vitality to public spaces, also leads to a shift in urban social norms, encouraging interaction with the public and with citizens in their everyday lives.
The creation of a wordless narrative based on visual poetry, and the development of the character through the exploration of gesture and body language, foster the trainee’s creative and expressive growth while improving their communication skills and social integration. The circus technique of the Andas requires both physical and mental effort (concentration) from the trainee, achieved through the search for the point of balance.
This training action aims to develop the trainee’s social, communicative, creative, and structural capabilities, as well as their ability to work in a team.
This training course aims to develop the participants’ social, communication, creative and organisational skills, as well as their ability to work in a team.
