CRA’P collaborations 2026

CRA’P hosts the training of Theatre of Yes.

14 and 15 March. THEATRICAL BEAUTY FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE

The Yes Theatre, led by Marina Pallarès Elias, was founded on the basis of more than twenty years of experience in creation, training and research into a new aesthetic within the applied theatre. Marina holds a PhD in Performing Arts, specialising in Applied Theatre, from the University of West London (2025). She founded and directs (2014-2025) Acting Now, a company based in Cambridge (UK) that has received recognition and grants from institutions such as the BBC, Arts Council England, Big Lottery and Iberescena.

The creations and training programmes based on the Yes Theatre methodology have been developed in Spain, Turkey, France, Italy, Mexico and England, and their research has been presented at leading conferences and lectures on four continents, such as IDIERI (Vancouver, Canada), IFTR (Accra, Ghana and Manila, Philippines), the Theatre and Feminism Conference (Madrid, Spain) and the PSI (London, England).

With her return to Spain, Marina is now promoting the creation of the Yes Theatre to consolidate and expand this methodology both nationally and internationally.
