Registrations open for the upcoming Artist Workshop, led by Claudio Stellato

Registrations are now open for the upcoming Artist Workshop titled “Creativity and Development of the Various Tools of a Contemporary Performer,” led by Claudio Stellato. The workshop is aimed at professional artists, authors, and/or performers of contemporary circus works, and will take place from September 29 to October 3, 2025, at La Central del Circ. On Monday, the schedule will be from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on the other days from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

In this workshop with artist Claudio Stellato, participants will explore various techniques of expression and tools to enrich their creative practice. The workshop will focus on movement, improvisation, and creativity, with special attention to pure physical expression. The body and emotions will be pushed further in the search for new circus languages.
