Yo no soy poeta (y no hace falta) Taller de poesía en taller / galería de arte Si escribes relatos, diarios o pensamientos sueltos… este taller es para ti. Durante la sesión exploraremos la poesía como una forma de mirar y de sentir. Trabajaremos con ejercicios prácticos que conectan palabra y arte: Transformar un texto narrativo en poema. Escribir a partir de imágenes y obras del espacio. Experimentar con ritmo y musicalidad sin reglas rígidas. No es un taller teórico. Es un espacio para escribir, probar y descubrir nuevas posibilidades dentro de tu propia voz. El encuentro se realiza en Drapaire Art, un taller / galería donde conviven pintura, ilustración y creación literaria. El entorno artístico forma parte de la experiencia. 📍 Calle Enric Morera 65, L’Hospitalet 🚆 FFCC Ildefons Cerdà A pocos minutos de Gran Vía 2 y Ciudad de la Justicia Conduce: Rita Gar Promueve: BCN Escribe La poesía no es un género. Es una forma de mirar. Plazas limitadas. Precio: aportación voluntaria en forma de taquilla inversa.

Volvemos a la carga con mucho teatro y más ganas que nunca de poder compartir este maravilloso arte con vosotros. Teatro en estado puro al alcance de todos! Este grupo parte del trabajo del actor creador. Este curso pretende facilitar el descubrimiento y la ejercitación de los hábitos creadores del actor en el alumnado. Se pondrán en práctica todos los aprendizajes actorales para fomentar un trabajo de creación colectiva. Iniciaremos con una investigación interpretativa a través de improvisaciones y propuestas escénicas para llegar a una creación colectiva de varios montajes de microteatro a representar en distintos centros, teatros y salas de Barcelona. Una vez tengamos la propuesta creativa empezaremos a incidir y trabajar en todo lo que es necesario para una creación escénica que se presentará en público. Aprenderemos a realizar un montaje teatral con todo lo que hay delante y detrás del escenario. Partiendo siempre del trabajo de la creación colectiva y de grupo, profundizaremos en el trabajo de personajes, creación, texto y guion. A la vez que se imparten clases de formación actoral y disciplina escénica. Para este grupo es necesaria experiencia previa en teatro. No os preocupéis si no hay mucha gente apuntada por meetup, la actividad se hace igual porque tenemos más gente apuntada por otros lugares. Lo único ESENCIAL PARA PODER ASISITIR es que nos escribas para que te CONFIRMEMOS LA PLAZA. Sin confirmación por parte nuestra no podréis acceder al evento

Instagram: @cercleahimsa Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar... El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística. Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

Uncorking the Unconscious: An Evening of Writing out of the Glass and Into the Self Join us for a creative mix of wine, Jung and journaling. Let your tastebuds lead you into memories, explore your connections with your unconscious, and learn from your inner wisdom. This workshop mixes a guided wine tasting with guided journaling: designed to help you into a new place in yourself, while at the same time enjoy the sensorial experience of selected wines. We will be using a series of prompts and imagery to take you into a journaling experience that will leave you with a clearer idea of who you are, what you have learnt on the way here, and what you can do going forwards to make positive change. The journaling session is based on the works of Carl Jung and Ira Progoff, mixed with the experience of Shadow Journaling founder Oliver Mann. He’s the co-founder of the Barcelona Journaling Festival, Certified Journal to the Self Instructor, and a council member of the International Association for Journal Writing. The workshop is open for anyone, regardless of writing experience, or wine drinking experience. Bring a pen, paper and an open mind!

**🌸 Spring Journaling Adventure with Marusha** As much as we love our bookshops, libraries and cozy cafes, there is **nothing like journaling in nature**! Let's open the season of outdoor writing sessions with a lovely picnic by the lake. Join me for a soul-nourishing afternoon of mindful wandering, grounding and connecting with nature, writing out things that have to be written, flexing that imagination biceps with some creative assignments – all while snacking and gently sun-baking :) We'll kick off our adventure with a cozy picnic by the pond at Montjuïc, where we'll spread our blankets and let the spring breeze inspire our first words. Whether you're a seasoned journal enthusiast or someone whose last diary entry was "Dear Diary..." in middle school – you're absolutely welcome here. After we've warmed up our writing muscles (and enjoyed some treats), we'll embark on a spring-inspired conscious walk through the park. No intense hiking, more of a *stop-and-smell-the-roses* (or whatever happens to be in bloom) kind of stroll. We'll use this time to gather inspiration, practice gratitude, and maybe even find profound meaning in a random butterfly crossing our path (hey, it happens!). Journaling practices for this gathering will feature some *embodiment work* (letting your senses guide you) – it's relaxing and inspiring in equal measures. After the picnic, we may continue with some sundowners at a spectacular viewpoint overlooking Barcelona with the city spread out before us like a story waiting to be told – it's Friday, after all! **What to bring:** \- Your journal and favorite pen\(s\) \- A cozy blanket to sit on \- Snacks and drinks\* to share \(optional but encouraged – writing evokes wild hunger\! \- An open mind and your sense of humor **🍎 Important: BRING A FRUIT that represents you this spring :) Yes, this will be one of our creative assignments.** *\*Some wine, cheese and other little treats will be provided* No pressure, no judgment, just a lovely afternoon of connecting with yourself and fellow humans while surrounded by spring's finest showing. Come as you are – your winter sweatpants stories are safe with us. ABOUT THE ORGANIZER Hi!

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
