Project
I want to share my experience and creative processes about my new book Inèdit Vitruvi, present a performance with the contemporary dance work Las Olas by Virginia Wolf, concept and interpretation by Juan Miranda Ponce, give a workshop on literary creation, share a workshop of in situ dance theater, poetry recital and a conversation.
I want to thank you deeply for all the generosity and details you had in my stay during my artistic residency. I felt warm and safe after the epic transatlantic flight. The experience was nourished by an intimate introspection about my writing craft, and the astonished sharing in the master class with the members of the theater school in Girona. The human quality, the respect, the warmth are just a glimpse of their committed work for the artists in residence.They remained forever in my heart and in my thoughts.I remain with you my dance and my poetry, my hugs and my eternal gratitude.
