Generative Workshops_
My Generative Workshops provide a dynamic space for groups to explore, create, and develop innovative works through collaborative and experimental methods.

A workshop by The Idiot
In this workshop, I share my process for writing On Work, the last installment of the performance series Lectures by the Idiot. I start by examining and discussing my approach to building the parafictional character of The Idiot, including reference documents, dramaturgical tools, and ethical considerations. During the second section of the workshop, participants delve into generative prompts to approach a process of creation informed by our discussion of the lecture performance form.
The Lectures are inspired by radical ideas about expanding the scientific method, such as Donna Haraway’s speculative fabulation. The character of The Idiot, defined by the way it approaches reality, is deeply entangled with the work of Gilles Deleuze, who establishes the idiot as a private thinker as opposed to a public professor. It also draws from the character in Dostoevsky’s novel, where idiocy is similarly explored as a situation where a system of thinking opposes the establishment of ideas.

Past Workshops_
AWAKE
Awake was a participatory performance in collaboration with Apropos Teater-Bergen Byspill. It resulted from workshops the group developed in Bergen and Havana around the idea of listening as a creative practice. Developing forms of imagination and utopias about our future and possible forms of coexistence goes beyond a purely aesthetic act: It becomes the possibility of reaffirming our presence in the world and the capacity of permanence in it.
Ensayo de duración
Based on a week-long workshop, Ensayo de duración was a seven-hour performance. We presented materials that allowed us, together with the audience, to experiment with how we perceive the passage of time. We took as a starting point the idea that time can be shaped in community and its a reflection of it.
