In 2015, Taanteatro Company reopens its rural headquarters in São Lourenço da Serra (SP / Brazil) offering a program of creative immersion into the taanteatro dynamics that aim to enhance scenic presence through actions that expand the limits of body & thought and encourage the participant to create a solo-performance.

Among the reflective activities we highlight Thoughts in Performance based on three axes: 1. scenic presence and will to tension, 2. the artaudian body without organs as a choreographic practice, 3. ancestry, self-healing and effectuation in the cyber era.

Beyond getting introduced to the taanteatro approach, the new edition of the Taanteatro Residence Workshop (since 2001) extends the limits of stage presence by developing actions that overcome the social standards and artistic codes of the body.
