Course 2025-2026
Dance Lab (17-24 years old)
We explore body awareness and its relationship with the floor and verticality, starting from muscular emptiness and the awakening of areas that seem asleep. We seek conscious and creative body improvisation. Each class includes work on sequences on the floor, in vertical and on the bar, as well as a choreographic sequence that integrates the developed principles and the Laban technique.
From September 29 to June 22

Jazz Dance for Musical Theatre (FPA and Escola Lliure)
This annual course is designed for singers, actors and performers who want to integrate movement as an essential part of their musical theatre training. Through the technique of Jazz, the body awareness, musicality and physical endurance necessary to sing, act and dance at the same time are worked on. The training includes dynamic choreographies with vocal and interpretive work, enhancing stage presence and expressiveness.
The training is structured in two levels:
- Level 1: technical fundamentals, body awareness, rhythm, choreographic memory and introduction to performance.
- Level 2: deepening in the versatility of styles and choreographic complexity, expanding technical and interpretative capabilities.
The work combines technical precision (alignment, centering, body control) with stage creation, exploring styles such as Broadway Jazz, Funk, Lyrical, Jazz Fusion or Hip Hop. Students learn to coordinate movement, voice and emotion to build believable and solid characters.
It is ideal training for anyone who wants to acquire a consistent and versatile foundation to face auditions and productions, and allows them to respond confidently to the demands and professional scenarios within the world of musicals.

Movement, Viewpoints and Scenic Creation (FPA)
This course proposes a progressive journey from the technique of Viewpoints to improvisation and collective scenic creation. The work starts from bodily awareness in space and is articulated around active listening and availability as axes of scenic action. Placing the body on stage, sustained in time and exposed to the gaze of the other, is an artistic decision with great expressive charge: the body already communicates before speaking.
The practice of Viewpoints, developed by Mary Overlie and expanded by Anne Bogart and the SITI Company, offers a tool to train this availability, refining attention to aspects such as tempo, duration, kinesthetic response, relationship with architecture, gesturality, repetition and spatial form. This training opens the way to a dramaturgy that is born from the body and conceives movement as a compositional material.
As the course progresses, we move towards situations of improvisation and creation, providing the student with resources to construct meaningful actions, in dialogue with words, others and space.
The objective is to promote a bodily and compositional understanding of the stage, with tools applicable both in creative processes and in the training of the performer.
From September 15 to June 19

Afternoon hours: Tuesday and Thursday from 17.30 pm to 19 pm

The body on stage (FPA)
Body training aimed at strengthening stage presence and dramatic construction. Proprioception, postural placement, coordination, rhythm, musicality, flexibility and expressive availability are worked on, integrating body, voice and text.
The body is conceived as an active vehicle of dramatic action, capable of sustaining the energy of the scene, channeling emotions and reinforcing the dramaturgical intention. Emphasis will be placed on stage presence as a combination of physical availability, concentration and listening.
The work is articulated with the Acting subject, adapting to the scenic universes of each semester: contemporary dramaturgies in the first, and classic Shakespearean repertoire in the second. In each case, the specific corporality demanded by the text and how movement can amplify its expressive force will be explored.
The objective is to fully integrate the body into the stage language, as a living and active channel within the performer's interpretive capacity.
From September 15 to June 22
Morning hours: Monday and Wednesday from 9.30 am to 11 am
Afternoon hours: Tuesday and Thursday from 20.30 pm to 22 pm
Teachers: Arnau Marín and Georgia Vardarou
Fundamentals of Movement (FPA)
This course invites you to discover, connect and relate with and from the body as the main tool of expression and stage presence. Through practical and progressive work, the basic technical principles of movement are explored that favor bodily availability, awareness of one's own gesture and economy of effort.
The goal is to open up to the pleasure of moving from listening and presence, developing a subtle attention and an available attitude that puts the body at the service of movement. It is about initiating body discipline, understanding it not as a limitation, but as a basis for freedom and activation of movement.
Weekly, body awareness work is combined – which includes listening, sensory awareness, proprioception, openness and adaptability to movement – with exercises aimed at improving the overall use of the body: posture, alignment, breathing, flexibility and physical presence.
It is a space to inhabit the body with greater freedom and clarity, and to lay the foundations of expressive movement, available and sustainable over time.
