at Universidad de Playa Ancha, Valparaíso, Chile from 3–7 April 2017

For some time, as a fetus in the womb of a woman, an awareness matures in me and fills me with fearful anticipation that the Vast Universe billows with unimaginable speeds like a cosmic bubble; prickly unrests of a miser bother me when only for a moment I think that the universe is leaking into a void like water through your fingers, and that one day – maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a couple of light-years – the universe will penetrate it forever as it was not built of a solid matter, but only of fleeting sound.

THE PULSAR was a theatre seminar which explored the intersections between theory and practice, between ethics, craft and creation.

It included:

• two lectures by Prof Grzegorz Ziółkowski: Studio Tradition in the European Theatre Practice (3 April, 7 pm) and Cruel Theatre of Self-immolations (7 April, 12 pm, midday);

• work sessions focused on: rhythms, the flow, partnership-in-action, text and the composition From Stars to Silence.

THE PULSAR culminated in THE SHARING – an open summary of work (7 April, 7 pm).
