Workshops in performance, mask making, dance, movement, improvisation, voice, theatre skills, imagining, creating and handling giant puppets.
Dragon Dance Theatre in collaboration with the Museo Historico de la Sierra Gorda, Culturas Populares de Querétaro, Grupo Ecológico de la Sierra Gorda and the local community.
The dates are December 10 to January 8. We are preparing for an intense, experimental and improvisational theatre lab, plus a plastic arts workshop, where we will make masks, sets and costumes.
In this laboratory we will conceive, create, and mount a cross-cultural, collective creation, with all the resident artists. Together we will imagine, and realize our own creative Utopia. We will make a peaceful, historically relevant, community art event on an ecological theme. We will dance and sing, make music, break bread, laugh, and inspire one another, while working in our chosen fields, to make a memorable public performance. We will have fun. We will work. We will create our own world of cultural exchange, cooperation and creation.
This is a fully integrated, in depth, immersion; a working environment, shoulder to shoulder with Mexican artists, dancers, actors, puppeteers…practice your spanish, meet the artistic community.
We are inviting artists from Finland, Mexico, Québec, Slovakia, the United States, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain.
We are reaching out to artists, dancers, musicians, fireworkers, actors, sculptors, cooks and all the people who have ever participated in, or inquired about, a Dragon Dance, cultural exchange, and residential theatre, project.
We look forward to meeting new people who are interested and willing to join us on this adventure.
