Photos from Final Day of the La Pocha Nostra Workshop

On the final day of the accelerated La Pocha Nostra Workshop we made a film of the process

This film will be edited in collaboration with La Pocha Nostra later this year

“In this cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary and cross-generational intensive, participants are exposed to the ‘Pocha Method’, an eclectic combination of exercises borrowed from multiple traditions including performance art, experimental theater and dance, the Suzuki method, ritual shamanism, performance games and live jam sessions. Parallel to this hands-on process, the group will analyze the creative process, the issues addressed by the work, its aesthetic currency, cultural impact and political pertinence.” Guillermo Gómez-Peña
