Before the performance (on June 27th), the audience is invited to enter Caravanserá through a workshop of collective preparation and experimentation. Inspired by the idea of “caravanserais” – historical places of passage, encounter, and exchange –, the workshop creates an informal space of conviviality where movement, sound, and elements of the performance begin to take shape with the participants themselves.
Throughout the session, participants will explore simple actions, games, and movement-based dynamics accessible to different ages and levels of experience, allowing each person to contribute to the creation of the performance environment. More than a technical preparation, the workshop becomes a moment of connection between audience, artists, and participants, dissolving the boundaries between those who observe and those who perform.
Within the context of the Art Explora Festival, the workshop extends the participatory spirit of Caravanserá, transforming the creative process into an open space for encounter, listening, and collective expression.
Workshop facilitated by: Lugar Específico.
