For years I've resisted starting a blog. Not for lack of things to say, but for an excess of them. Every module leaves a wake behind: exercises that landed, scenes that surprised us, hallway conversations that said more than the whole session. And always, at the end of the weekend, the same feeling: this should be written down somewhere.
This is that somewhere. A space to pause and look at what happens between modules, what occurs in the room when someone finally takes off the mask they were wearing, and what we learn as facilitators when we are asked to hold whatever shows up.
What we'll talk about here
Theatre Gestalt is a living practice. It's not theory you can transmit on paper — you learn it by vibrating with a group, by rehearsing again and again, by making mistakes in public. But there is a place for the written word: the place of digestion, of the reflection that happens when you're no longer on stage.
These are the topics I'll be exploring:
- Reflections from the room. Things that have happened in a module and that deserve slower thinking.
- Exercises. Concrete proposals you can try with your group, in your practice, or at home.
- Dialogues with authors. Stanislavski, Perls, Naranjo, Boal. What they still have to say to us today.
- Cases. Situations that show how Theatre Gestalt differs from other scenic or therapeutic approaches.
- Letters to whoever is starting out. For people considering the training, or who have just begun.
Why a blog and not social media
Social media is fast. Too fast for what we do. Theatre Gestalt needs time: time for the body to understand, time for the group to trust, time for the word that emerges to truly be yours. A blog respects that rhythm.
"I didn't come to the theatre to represent a life, but to have one."
A student said that mid-closing of a weekend, years ago now. I've repeated it so many times it almost feels like mine. It isn't — and that's exactly why it deserves to be written here, where someone else might read it and recognise something of their own.
How to follow the blog
For now there's no newsletter or subscription system. New articles will be announced through Instagram. If this approach interests you, that's the easiest place to find out when something new goes up.
If you want to reply, comment or share something — write through the contact section. The blog is a monologue, but I'm more interested in the conversation than in the monologue itself.
