Dramatic Creation Career
«This is a space for the student to discover his body as a fundamental tool to create meaning in connecting with other bodies. The aim for the student is to carefully observe the principles of life and nature. The space opens a possibility for the actor in training to enhance their sensitivity, thereby always enhancing their relationship with others. The training is interwoven with matters of historical and philosophical content, with the aim of not dividing action and thought «.
Santiago Carcelén
Professor of Theater Creation
The Theatrical Creation course offered by UArtes, is conceived without division between practice and theory. It proposes techniques that aims to provide students with a series of techniques and tools for body and conceptual training, taken from various ideo-aesthetic and historical perspectives. The aim is to provide diverse inputs so that each artist in creation is configuring his own poetics. The course identifies the actor/actress as the operator, activator and transformer of the living event that is the theater and proposes a series of questions that simultaneously problematize the different theatrics and the tradition of representation, while providing spaces for experiencing/reflecting, from a perspective of inter-trans-cultural / disciplinary crossings.
GRADUATE PROFILE:

Likewise, they are able to generate meetings, exhibitions, seminars, colloquia and other spaces that promote creation, circulation, dissemination, as well as various forms of knowledge in the area.
Dance
«This career understands the student’s body as an interface where their thought and movement are articulated, and from there the opening to experimental-creative-experimental paths are provoked. The program allows a transit through a spectrum of physical, creative, theoretical and historical practices with which the interpreter-creator in training enhances his own physical and cognitive skills. Likewise, it critically addresses what dance, choreography and teaching in this area are in relation to an Ecuadorian context in dialogues with the global scene. «
