TRAINING:

• In June we finished another school year of our Diploma Programme in Corporal Mime and Physical Theatre with very good results. We presented in the Can Felipa Theatre the shows Lo que nos mueve, directed by Stéphane Lévy and Mai Rojas, and In-diferencias, directed by Sophie Kasser and Olivier Décriaud. The videos are available here!
• Members of our team gave workshops of physical theatre and corporal expression at the Palau Robert of Barcelona, secundary schools of Argentona and Gava, and for AIXEC in collaboration with the association Perpetuum Mobile.
• For the third year, we collaborated with the Jove Cia Teatre de l’Abast of Valencia. We also received the visit of the US company MB Adaptors, and her director Kari Margolis, and we collaborated with the Circus School Rogelio Rivel.
• On 3rd of October we started a new school year of our Diploma Programme with students from 15 different countries. We continue working proudly with the teachers Olivier Décriaud, Mai Rojas, Pere Farran, Montse Bonet and Cecilia Colacrai.
