Carla Tovias
STAGE DIRECTOR | CREATOR
My scenic practice explores the relationship between body, text, play and composition, articulating creative processes linked to movement, contemporary dramaturgy and theatricality.
I am particularly interested in working with presence, impulse, and the relationship between instinct, intuition and dramaturgical construction.
ACTRESS AND DANCER
Trained in the pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq, I develop my performative work through play, presence and scenic composition. Performance and movement are a transversal part of my practice and constantly nourish my perspective as a director and creator.
STAGE DIRECTION
I develop stage direction processes linked to contemporary creation, physical theatre and scenic composition. I am especially interested in the construction of distinct scenic languages, the work with performers, and the relationship between body, space, rhythm and theatricality.
STAGE MOVEMENT AND STAGE COMPOSITION
I work with movement and scenic composition as dramaturgical tools applied to both theatrical and interdisciplinary processes. I accompany creative processes linked to rhythm, presence, the body-text relationship and the construction of scenic action.
PEDAGOGY
Alongside my artistic practice, I develop pedagogical projects and artistic accompaniment processes linked to the body, movement and contemporary creation. I am especially interested in generating working spaces where research, play and listening can activate new creative processes.
I understand pedagogy as a space of shared research connected to presence, play, risk and the relationship between body and language. I develop laboratories and accompaniment processes aimed at activating a living, embodied and conscious scenic practice.
Among the most recent laboratories and processes I have developed are L’Animal davant la paraula, Rebentar el discurs and Animalitats Humanes — working spaces focused on the relationship between body, instinct, dramaturgy and scenic presence.
