| Title | Theatre Translation |
| Organizer | Phyllis Zatlin, Rutgers University |
| Schedule | Thursday 4/7, 3:00-5:00 PM |
| Description | In this workshop we will analyze the problems involved in translating fragments of two works for theatre: the play on words in the final scene of El tiro por la culata (1961) by Matías Montes Huidobro, and a simultaneous action scene from Nadie se va del todo (1991) by Pedro R. Monge Rafuls. Before attempting a collective English translation of the first fragment, Yara González-Montes and Matías Montes-Huidobro will give a dramatic reading of the original text. |
| Title | Ethnographic Theatre Techniques |
| Organizer | Jorge Huerta, University of California-San Diego |
| Schedule | Friday 4/8, 3:00-4:45 PM |
| Description | This workshop is intended to introduce participants to the processes of interviewing and other forms of ethnographic research followed by instruction on how to write creatively from that research. The workshop will also include a discussion and demonstrations of various techniques used in the process of rehearsing and performing ethnographic theatre. The workshop will be complemented by examples of the recent one-woman production created and performed by Ms. Lucas, Doin' Time, Through the Visiting Glass. This workshop is intended to show professors how to work with their students in the creation of monologues/performances that articulate particular identities in terms of class, race, gender, community, and various forms of shared social and/or political oppression. |
| Title | The Street: Performance Workshop |
| Organizer | Cristina Escofet, Argentine playwright |
| Schedule | Thursday 4/7, 3:00-5:00 PM Friday 4/8, 3:00-4:45 PM Saturday 4/9, 3:00-5:00 PM |
| Description | A performance installation based on the idea of the subject in transit. The street as one of the places where history unfolds, where best to read the fragments … or where the fragments of history are told. The goal is to reproduce emblematic fragments, from 1960s bra burning and the theoretical discussions of the 1980s, to gay pride marches. Confessions from an “other” place: transvestism, exclusion, marginality. Once the objective is understood, and following a 45 minute warm-up, roles will be distributed and groups formed. Then follows a rehearsal: each group or individual will choose a place from which to tell their story to an audience of passersby. |
| Title | Workshop on Gender Violence |
| Organizer | Mercedes Farriols, Argentine playwright |
| Schedule | Thursday 4/7, 3:00-5:00 PM Friday 4/8, 3:00-4:45 PM Saturday 4/9, 3:00-5:00 PM |
| Description | The workshop will analyze and deconstruct manifestations of sexism, the myths and stereotypes that underlie and perpetuate them, as well as the roles attributed to women in patriarchal society, its repressive and reductionist contents. The workshop will focus on exploring the following aspects:
Activities will be based on theatre texts on physical, psychological and sexual violence written by the author (Ana Bolena, Es o no Es, Encarnación, Isla Blanca Catherina, Si los hermanos se pelean, Carola, Miserias domésticas) or proposed by workshop participants: any text can serve as pretext. |
