Workshops

Ricard Soler Mallol has given multiple workshops on direction and dramaturgy. He strongly believes in stimulating and motivating students / artists to follow their artistic intuition while helping them structure their creativity. His eclectic career in contemporary stage show creation, as well as his extensive studies in Barcelona and Montreal, have led him to design a workshop which encourages future artists to cultivate their own, authentic line of creation. This workshop on scenic creation and dramaturgy, adaptable to various contexts, explores basic notions in order to define scenic devices and establish a dramaturgical structure for scenic creation. The final objective is to establish a framework that guides the student / artist in his or her research-creation process. Ricard obtained a teaching certificate from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2007.

Artistic consultation

Ricard Soler Mallol has extensive experience in scenic research. Most of his creations are the result of a research process. In addition, he has won several grants throughout his artistic career. This trajectory, his interest in training, and his willingness to share his knowledge with other artists have led him to work with creators and companies and accompany them in their creative processes. In each case, a different relationship has been established: external gaze, dramaturgical counselor, artistic advisor or co-director; the goal is to accompany the process in which the artistic team is involved to develop the project in progress.
