For three weeks, a group of stage creators made up of theater directors, choreographers, dancers, actors and multimedia designers have entered an intensive creation laboratory, where together they discovered a new territory of work, a new language, a new way of understanding. time and space, through the camera and digital tools, but which requires the skills and craft of theater work.
What has changed is the space where the fiction occurs.
The TCRV workshop expands the limits of geographical and temporal collaboration, they joined: 4 countries, 10 cities of the Mexican Republic and 4 time zones, coinciding in a space created by invisible ties, to build imaginary universes that are represented live and in time real, everything happening from each home of the participants, these spaces were transformed into scenarios through camera points of view, angles and perspectives, as well as the handling of the camera in a conscious and precise way.
The stage direction and multimedia were achieved from his remote booth, containing what happens in each stage: each interpreter creates her environment and intertwines the play of visual and sound spaces to tell stories in a concrete, abstract, or symbolic way.
In this laboratory, the participants were divided into four work teams where they developed a first exercise to experience this new language, where they will begin to build new narrative forms that will allow us to create complex universes in the future.
In this first stage, the public will be able to perceive the possibilities that open up in this scenic expression transferred to a different space, above all, they will be able to share the emotion and adrenaline that characterizes a live performance.
Sincerely
Vivian Cruz
Durante tres semanas, un grupo de creadores escénicos conformado por directores de teatro, coreógrafos, bailarines, actores y diseñadores multimedia han entrado en un laboratorio de creación intensivo, donde juntos descubrieron un nuevo territorio de trabajo, un nuevo lenguaje, una nueva forma de entender el tiempo y el espacio, a través de la cámara y las herramientas digitales, pero que requiere de las habilidades y oficio del quehacer teatral.
El taller TCRV expande los límites de colaboración geográfica y temporal, se unieron: 4 países, 10 ciudades de la República Mexicana y 4 husos horarios, coincidiendo en un espacio creado por lazos invisibles, para construir universos imaginarios que son representados en vivo y en tiempo real, todo sucediendo desde cada hogar de los participantes, dichos espacios fueron transformados en escenarios a través de puntos de vista de la cámara, ángulos y perspectivas, así como el manejo de la cámara de forma consciente y precisa.
La dirección escénica y multimedia se lograron desde su cabina a distancia, conteniendo lo que sucede en cada escenario: cada intérprete crea su entorno y va entrelazando el juego de espacios visuales y sonoros para contar historias de forma concreta, abstracta, o simbólica.
En este laboratorio, los participantes se dividieron en cuatro equipos de trabajo donde desarrollaron un primer ejercicio para experimentar este nuevo lenguaje, donde se empezará a construir nuevas formas narrativas que en un futuro nos permitirá crear universos complejos.
En esta primera etapa, el público podrá percibir las posibilidades que se abren en esta expresión escénica trasladada a un espacio distinto, sobre todo, podrán compartir la emoción y adrenalina que caracteriza una función en vivo.

Per tre settimane un gruppo di scenografi composto da registi teatrali, coreografi, danzatori, attori e designer multimediali è entrato in un laboratorio di creazione intensivo, dove insieme hanno scoperto un nuovo territorio di lavoro, un nuovo linguaggio, un nuovo modo di intendere. tempo e spazio, attraverso la macchina fotografica e gli strumenti digitali, ma che richiede le capacità e l’arte del lavoro teatrale.
Ciò che è cambiato è lo spazio in cui si svolge la finzione.
Il workshop TCRV amplia i limiti della collaborazione geografica e temporale, si sono uniti: 4 paesi, 10 città della Repubblica Messicana e 4 fusi orari, coincidenti in uno spazio creato da legami invisibili, per costruire universi immaginari che sono rappresentati dal vivo e nel tempo reale , tutto ciò che accade da ogni casa dei partecipanti, questi spazi sono stati trasformati in scenari attraverso punti di vista, angoli e prospettive della telecamera, nonché la gestione della telecamera in modo consapevole e preciso.
La regia e la multimedialità sono state realizzate dal loro stand remoto, contenente ciò che accade su ogni palco: ogni performer crea il proprio ambiente e intreccia il gioco degli spazi visivi e sonori per raccontare storie in modo concreto, astratto o simbolico.
In questo laboratorio, i partecipanti sono stati divisi in quattro gruppi di lavoro dove hanno sviluppato un primo esercizio per sperimentare questo nuovo linguaggio, dove inizieranno a costruire nuove forme narrative che ci permetteranno di creare universi complessi in futuro.
In questa prima fase il pubblico potrà percepire le possibilità che si aprono in questa espressione scenica trasferita in uno spazio diverso, soprattutto potrà condividere l’emozione e l’adrenalina che caratterizzano una performance dal vivo.
