Teatro das Figuras

WRITING FOR THEATRE WORKSHOP

Friday to sunday

From 24 to 26 February, 2023

WITH ARMANDO NASCIMENTO ROSA

What stimuli and dynamics determine the writing for the scene? What does it mean to say that a text has scenic potential? Is it possible to find a personal voice when writing for theatre? What is this about looking for scenic words? Inhabiting the contemporary scene, can we say that theater also writes itself? These are some of the questions that will be present in this workshop that aims to challenge participants to the imaginative experience of written creation intended for the theater scene.
