CRA’P Laboratories 2023

March – April – May

This new series of nine sessions of the LAB aim at implementing and reflecting on those practices in which form can be understood as a construct of thinking the real, which it has an immediate effect on the body. A body that, in simultaneity, channels different perceptual processes, intensities, energies, as well as the power of sound and gesture, where language opens up to imagination and potentiality.

The LAB is based on a principle of reciprocity that draws on the experiences, contributions, capacities and proposals of each participant.

This LAB takes place with a small number of invited participants.
