"Buena Onda and La Fabrica film school join forces with Teatro de Los Andes, for the launch of “Workshop Sessions in Yotala”, Bolivia.
The workshops will be based in the idyllic location of Yotala, home to the Teatro de los Andes, a self-sustaining theatre company founded in 1991, where plays are prepared, presented, and then taken on tour around the globe.
This unique trio of diverse experiences aims to establish a place, both physical and conceptual, where film and theatre exist in a constant dialogue, fully aware of the creative, the social and the authentic aspects of collaborative arts.
The workshops will include:
Acting technique for theatre and film.
Work in progress dialogues with international filmmakers.
Open Master Classes with special international guests.
Community participation in activities aimed at sustainable art presented through sustainable development in the region: a sharing of knowledge with the communities around the Yotala area and the Teatro de los Andes experience.
Working with local cultural heritage, focusing on textile art and anthropological knowledge.
Yotala will also offer screening space for documentaries and films related to problems rooted in Latin America, such as water, political disassociation, native agriculture policies, and creating established social environments.
The workshops will all be documented and the final product will be developed as a film on the topics of discussion."
