Reporting at the Coliseum - Acting workshop for surreal interviews

In this workshop, we're going to invent "Tv Coliseu" and make a unique, very surprising and special programme! This Carnival, a great phenomenon is expected to occur at the Coliseum, which will change everything and which will be extremely important to film and report on! In a short story-building exercise, we'll simulate events and give voice to objects, in an unpredictable script that will touch on the absurd, leading us to interview the chairs, listen to the opinion from the stage and interview other characters, who will be invented and interpreted by the participants. If you're one of those people who imagine stories from everything everywhere, this is the place for you this holiday.

Guess who I am - Acting workshop

Pretending to be someone else, or an animal, or an object, is much more complex than simply putting on a costume or wearing a mask. In this workshop we'll use theatre tools to create and embody characters, pretending voices, movements, postures and developing arguments. Using improvisation theatre techniques, everyone will alternate between spectators and audience, improvising conversations and actions and adapting to rules that, because they are invented, will challenge anyone's improvisation skills! In the end, the best characters will be selected for each participant and everyone will put on a Carnival parade, expressively representing the character, with props, gestures, music and everything else the parade requires. This Carnival, this is our invitation: shall we play?

Viral Images - Workshop on acting and creating memes

Memes are out there and they're here to stay! Combining image, text and, of course, some humour, we're going to enter digital culture and analyse the meanings of these viral images. In this workshop, participants will create and interpret characters throughout the Coliseum that, photographed and edited, will brighten up our Carnival! Let's make the Coliseum viral with images and humour?
