Just come by 15 minutes before 6 pm, on the evening of the open mic. The first 8 artists will get to sign up. Each performer will have 6 minutes to share their work or perform 2 songs.

**“*Me interesa lo que sucede cuando no sé qué va a pasar.”*** **Marina Abramović** En este taller hablamos en imágenes. A partir de ejercicios guiados, textos, recortes y composición visual, investigamos la relación entre palabra, imagen y metáfora, en la construcción de una poética personal. A lo largo de cuatro encuentros, el recorrido del taller aborda distintos momentos del proceso creativo: 1. La sincronicidad: el vínculo entre azar y creación. 2. La inspiración: el diálogo con el mundo como motor creativo. 3. El corte: gesto central del collage y acto de decisión. 4. La intuición: como forma de lectura y elección. Valor El taller se desarrolla en cuatro encuentros, con un valor de 25 euros por clase. Incluye todos los materiales necesarios. Quienes lo deseen pueden traer imágenes, recortes o textos propios para incorporarlos a su recorrido personal. **Nos encontramos cada sábado de febrero por la tarde (7, 14, 21 y 28) en la librería Mandolina (Madrid), se requiere inscripción previa a mvmaglioco@gmail.com**

“El teatro crea espacios de libertad donde podemos liberar nuestros recuerdos, nuestras emociones y nuestra imaginación”✨ Un taller donde podrás permitirte estar por ti, unos momentos para ti. Un espacio lúdico donde desconectar del agitado día a día, de las cargas que llevamos diariamente y conectar con tu capacidad creadora. Despertaremos ese “yo” libre y atrevido, que a veces tenemos dormido, para poder liberarnos de tensiones y preocupaciones. Un espacio donde todo es posible. 💪 Este taller está orientado a que cada participante pueda explorar-se, reconocer- se y transformar-se, tomando seguridad en sí mismo como un ser espontáneo y aprendiendo a confiar en sus capacidades creativas. “El verdadero viaje del descubrimiento no reside en ver nuevos mundos, sino en verlos con otros ojos”. (Marcel Marceau) Siempre con profesores titulados y en activo en los escenarios de la ciudad. Así como pedagogos y terapeutas avalados por la AETG. Cada nivel y grupo tiene un profesional adaptado a las necesidades y objetivos del grupo. No es necesaria experiencia previa. Estamos abiertos a todas personas que quieran experimentar y acercarse más a sí mismas. Horario: Sábado quincenal de 10.30 a 14.00 h. De tal forma que os quedan libres otros 2 sábados mensuales. Se realiza así para que tengáis tiempo de asimilar los trabajos realizados, descansar y poder seguir avanzando. El grupo requiere compromiso de asistencia, ya que el trabajo es intimo y cuidamos las experiencias de cada une. Quedan pocas plazas para constituir el grupo. Lo único ESENCIAL PARA PODER ASISITIR es que nos escribas para que te CONFIRMEMOS LA PLAZA, ya que hay Lista de Espera. Sin confirmación por parte nuestra no podréis acceder al evento.

ENGLISH (Spanish below! PS, please let me know if you cannot view the event pricing!) * First, we will meet, greet and go over the route map and objectives for about 15 minutes. There will be a basic talk about things to look for and specific things to shoot for each objective. * We will go over the map and then spend time walking the route stopping and shooting in each area. We will be walking for a total of about 2-2.5 hours. The main focus of the workshop is to learn about and gain more confidence shooting street photography with the bonus of exploring and seeing some interesting spots around Barcelona. * Once we're finished the route we will meet at a cafe (if we want!) to speak about the objectives, answer any questions and close with any comments or remarks. * In total we will spend about 2.5 hours in this street photography workshop. Other things to note * You should know the basics of photography and how your camera works. We'll discuss street photography techniques, not learning how to use cameras. * Bring the min amount of things required for a few hours of shooting. (ie. camera and a few € for food etc, thieves are a real problem everywhere). * PLEASE BRING >> POSITIVE VIBES :) *** ESPAÑOL * En primer lugar, nos reuniremos, saludaremos y repasaremos el mapa de la ruta y los objetivos durante unos 15 minutos. Habrá una charla básica sobre las cosas que hay que buscar y las cosas específicas que hay que fotografiar para cada objetivo. * Repasaremos el mapa y luego pasaremos un tiempo caminando por la ruta parando y disparando en cada zona. Caminaremos durante un total de 2-2,5 horas. El objetivo principal del taller es aprender y ganar más confianza en la fotografía de calle con la ventaja de explorar y ver algunos puntos interesantes alrededor de Barcelona. * Una vez terminada la ruta nos reuniremos en una cafetería (¡si queremos!) para hablar de los objetivos, responder a cualquier pregunta y cerrar con cualquier comentario u observación. * En total dedicaremos unas 2.5 horas a este taller de fotografía de calle. Otras cosas a tener en cuenta * Debes conocer los fundamentos de la fotografía y el funcionamiento de tu cámara. Hablaremos de técnicas de fotografía callejera, no de aprender a usar las cámaras. * Trae la cantidad mínima de cosas necesarias para unas horas de fotografía. (es decir, cámara y algunos euros para comida, etc., los ladrones son un verdadero problema en todas partes). * ¡¡POR FAVOR TRAIGA >> VIBRAS POSITIVAS :) NOTA: ¡Mi español es tan, tan, no increíble pero puedo explicar las cosas en español si es necesario! :) (Note: My Spanish is so so, not amazing but I would be happy to explain things in Spanish if needed!)
