The space is considered from listening to the body and from the creation of atmospheres for the viewer through the voice, touch, sound, and vision. It also proposes a place of experimentation that allows one to approach hybrid plastic territories where concepts such as "intervention", "installation", "atmosphere", "guided tour" play.
It offers the possibility of investigating from the body and listening to the plastic event, the image and the writing of the body in the city. Part of the following questions: how to work from listening to sound? How to work from the body with the experience of the other? How to work the relationship between the body and the urban environment? How to work from a poetics of the body a poetics of space in the city?
The construction of a poetic space in the city also starts from the interrogation of ways of inhabiting: the inhabiting of the indigenous, for example, the Casa-cosmos, contrasted with the construction of urban spaces where intimacy, architecture come into play. and the difference between what is public and what is private. From inquiries about the way of living, workshop exercises inspired by writing, perceptual drifts and theatrical games, we will identify materials that can enrich the processes of the participants and enhance their knowledge.
