CHAVEA Lorca’s Gang III: Film and Drama

This workshop forms part of the CHAVEA program, consisting of nine workshops making up a single block.

CHAVEA Lorca’s Gang III: Film and Drama
We’re going to learn about Buñuel, the filmmaker in Lorca’s Gang, and about Lorca’s passion for the theatre. The children will tell us about their dreams and what the script will be about (the more surreal, the better), which we will write together. A brief piece of drama will be used to create a short film.

The kids will create simple costumes and props from materials that can be found at any home or at school. We will rehearse and shoot our short, which, after some basic editing by the monitors, will then be sent to parents by email.

Our first surrealist film will be shown at the opening at the Centre, kicking off the next block of activities and serving to inaugurate our audiovisual catalogue, which will complement our publications and exhibitions.

CHAVEA. A children's workshops programme
A group of artists from various fields and arts-education professionals will lead activities including journalism role play (conducting interviews, taking and retouching photographs, directing and producing a video or short film, drama, writing and performing works and creating costumes and scenery), dancing, etc.

Methodology
Fun: through games and fun activities adapted to each age group.

Intuitive: if we provide them with the right tools, they will find ways to approach the activities and so take charge of their own learning process.

Practical: the activities will take a “research–experiment–practice” approach. All skills will be acquired by trial and error.

Collective: in the activities everyone will have a unique, vital role to contribute towards the common goal.

Connected to their surroundings: we will seek to identify the connections between the workshops' contents and the physical settings where they are held, as well as their own home backgrounds.
