Puedes elegir here dos de los grupos en los que nos dividiremos para trabajar la acción colectiva. No es imprescindible elegir. Los tres grupos cooperan para un producto final conjunto y también puedes dejar que los Cross Border te pongan a tu llegada en uno u otro grupo.
– Saturday 7 la casa Fuente Nueva estará abierta desde las 9:00. Te esperamos para comenzar a las 9:45.
– Trae ropa cómoda para los talleres y al menos una prenda gris, negra o roja y combinaciones de esos tres colores (por la belleza del asunto).
– Si te gusta sentarte en el suelo, trae una esterilla o un cojín.
– Coche, bus, train: hemos creado this document para compartir coche. Se puede aparcar junto a la casa sin problema. Y si no, he autobús 664 desde Moncloa te deja en la urbanización La Pizarra, a 5 minutos a pie. La estación de tren está lejos y sólo te interesa si tienes alguien que te recoja allí.
And you know, para cualquier duda escribe a proyectolova@gmail.com o envía un WhatsApp o llama a Pedro al 661 833 335

Documentary Theater
One of the great documentary theater projects is Techtonic Theater's Laramie Project. In 1998 Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, killed and tied to a fence for being gay. Had 21 years and the Techtonic team traveled to Laramie year-round to conduct community interviews. From these interviews they wrote the Laramie Project, one of the most represented works in American institutes today.
This is the movie they made based on the work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v = u1qiTmF0p4A and this is a piece of the Spanish version that director Julián Fuentes put together a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v = T0bh1_NYBOY
Laramie Project: http://www.tectonictheaterproject.org/The_Laramie_Project.html
JORCAM asked the Cross Border Project to bring zarzuela closer to the youngest, and they thought that what brought us closer to zarzuela were our grandparents, the memory of them humming zarzuela at home. So they brought together zarzuela professionals and members of amateur groups with the young singers of JORCAM to interview and dive into their stories, doing a documentary theater workshop that was translated in this piece http://vimeo.com/118277531
Forum Theater
What is forum theater and how it can be applied with adolescents you find it in the documentary that Cross Border Project made during the process of Exercise looks, a project that was worked on during 4 months with students from three institutes of Rivas-VaciaMadrid showing them the tool, for them to write, star and direct their theater plays forum, talking about the issues that concerned them. https://vimeo.com/album/2704517–
In Spain there are few forum theater companies (Cross Border is one of them), but outside and especially in the Anglo-Saxon world there are a lot. Cross Border leaves you two of his favorites for you to peek at: CardboardCitizens in London specialized in forum theater with homeless people, and the Senegalese company Kaddu yaraax, who have spent years in Dakar giving war on issues such as the environment or the role of women.
Of the great Augustus Boal, the creator of the forum theater, it is best to go to the source, to your center in Brazil: http://ctorio.org.br/novosite/
Site Specific
Who are the site specific crack? The English company PunchDrunk.
They have been carrying out works in specific spaces for years, in which the public moves and interacts freely. Sleep No More is his special version of Macbeth in a New York hotel where in every room, in each room there is a story and a different life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v = k12NZLh_Xvg
But like, like, Cross Border likes PopUp Theatrics, friends who are crazy and do shows throughout the Lower East Side neighborhood in New York: entering and leaving premises, with small performances through the streets ... and with which they collaborate in a project in which we take the Intercontinental Hotel in Madrid, its suites and its basements: http://www.thecrossborderproject.com/portfolio/inside-2/

Or the Eva Redondo project, Route 6,8, a very unique project made in Spain:
