Lucas Sáez Collins

Stage Lab

STAGE LAB is a one-week intensive for performers interested in developing new ways to amplify their creative agency. I believe the best way to practice creation is to set a premiere date and rehearse until that moment arrives. That is exactly what we are going to do.
During this workshop, we will activate the imagination through voice, movement, and writing to build a collective dramaturgy. Using improvisational material, personal biographies, and writing exercises, we will forge a path toward a final piece directed by Lucas and performed by the participants.
• What needs to be on stage right now?
• What is asking to be vocalized, moved, or reimagined?
• Is it possible to write as a collective?

The intensive will culminate in a public performance on Friday night at Tictac Art Centre (Small Studio).

How to Apply
If you are interested in joining us, please answer the following questions:
1. As an artist, what do you want to keep researching?
2. What is your primary fear on stage?
3. Where do you find freedom?
