Creative Research Laboratory
For three full days, this workshop offers a space for exploration centered around fire as a creative axis, through somatic, mythopoetic, and contemplative practices. Fire as a vital, ambivalent, and transformative element: a cosmic force, ancestral myth, and engine of the human imagination.
The proposal focuses on opening fire as a symbolic and creative territory, addressing a multimodal approach:
The myth and the traditional tale as transmitters of collective images.
The body in motion as an intuitive practice where fire is experienced as vital energy.
The mask as a ritual element that allows us to embody our imagination.
Painting, clay and intuitive drawing, as ways of projecting images through matter.
The program includes 6 intensive sessions spread over three days, combining individual and collective work with spaces for play, research, and shared creation. It's a process that doesn't seek closed answers, but rather opens fertile ground for imagining, experimenting, burning, and transforming.
In a world overheated—by climate, by war, by social and bodily inflammation—this lab offers a place to reconnect with the creative forces within us and explore how fire can inspire and sustain our artistic practice.
The lab is open to creators from various artistic disciplines—theater, dance, visual arts, writing, music—as well as anyone interested in exploring imagination through the body, myth, and creative practice.
No prior experience in theater or bodywork is necessary: the proposal is an accessible space for research for those who want to open a dialogue with their own internal images, expand their expressive resources, or nourish their artistic practice from a deeper and more poetic place.
This laboratory is nourished by the tradition of mask and physical theatre developed around the pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq, who understands the body as a source of play, imagination and deep knowledge. It is also inspired by the contributions of the depth psychology, where myth and symbol are recognized as expressions of human experience beyond the individual. In dialogue with these currents, the work is integrated into the framework of the program. Integral Embodiment and Performance Practice (IEPP) from the Thomas Prattki Center, which proposes a path of creative exploration through the body, the mask, and poetic imagination.

Fire This is the first module in a two-workshop series. Those who wish to continue exploring the threshold of creation can do so in the second module: Threshold, which will take place at La Cuadra between October 31 and November 2. Each workshop can be completed independently, but together they form a complete journey of transformation and creative exploration.
