Browsing the American Theatre Magazine thru TCG, which Ilana showed us how to do at the talk on how to get arts internships this past monday, I found the Global section. If anyone else is interested in spanish Theatre, or speaks spanish and has a desire to browse what kind of theatre is going on in that wonderful romance language check out this part of La Escena Contemporanea’s website: (it’s in spanish)

(in English…) AMERICAN THEATRE MAGAZINE SAYS: “Escena Contemporánea will also host María Folguera, a Madrid native in her late twenties who made a name for herself as a writer while still in her teens. In 2008 she founded a small theatrical collective called Ana Pasadena, devoted to the subjects of body, sex, gender and conflict. (“The important thing is to extract a tissue sample of life, or better, create a living tissue sample,” reads part of the group’s online mission statement. “Ana Pasadena believes that science is poetry and vice-versa.”) On view is the group’s second project, Amor y trabajo (Love and Work), an exploration of the masculine body.” —Juciy, huh?
This is all very new to me, but I’m someone who misses speaking spanish and learning about spanish culture, and who has always wanted to act, or know about contemporary spanish theatre as a marriage of both passions…so I think escena contemporanea might be a festival that hosts all different Spanish/International/European experimental dance and theatre groups together.
