Workshop 1: In Residence
The IN RESIDENCE workshop is aimed at putting a playwright in touch with secondary school kids (age between 13-15) so that he or she shares with them a creation process. Oriol Morales i Pujolar will share with teenagers his writing methods and will encourage them to cowrite a play that will be staged or read (depending on time) at the end of the workshop.
The school selected to work with is the Institut Barri Besòs, a state secondary school placed in a depressed area in Barcelona. The student body is very diverse, since the great majority of students come from immigrant families.
During the working process, Oriol Morales i Pujolar will be in permanent contact with Romanian playwright Mihaela Michailov. She will come at some point in mid-November.
This workshop is part of New Voices, the new edition of the Fabulamundi. Playwriting Europe.
