Specialisation programme

The specialisation programme revolves around the creation of the student’s own project during the course.
This process begins in the second term, when students have to present a first dossier with a proposal to be evaluated. There is also a follow-up of the production stages until the day of a work-in-progress in a theatre in Barcelona.

This design of the work is free and can take different forms, depending on the student’s desire to find a form of expression and application of the knowledge learned at school. Participants from outside the school will be able to take part in this project as members of the project’s artistic team.

During the months of May and June, the students have a rehearsal space in the afternoons and the creative process is supervised by the teaching staff, who monitor the rehearsals. These rehearsals are usually combined with residencies in cultural centres in the city.

Third year students follow the technique, repertoire and improvisation classes with the Diploma students during the first two terms, but with specific tasks and different evaluation criteria. Depending on the group and level, they also work on a specific repertoire piece.

During the second term, each student prepares and supervises a creative project with a small group of 2nd year students as an external eye, which allow them to approach and understand directing issues. In the third term, the students take part in the classes until the end of April and, in parallel, begin to create their own projects autonomously, supervised by the pedagogical team.

Through different movement techniques (Flying low, reléase, manipulations, etc.), we work to achieve an open and available body, flexible to changes and adaptable to the shared space and time. Through movement phrases, the mechanics found are put into practice, constructing routes that travel through space. With contact tools and other techniques, different possibilities are worked on so that two or more bodies can share their weights, time and space, moving from the meeting of contact points and listening to the body’s directions.

3rd year students can submit their projects to the Moveo professionalisation support programme, which provides them with a programme of residencies and artistic and technical advice.
