ANA BALDAIA


Roof Theatre is a project for performative anthropological research, aiming the creation of new methods of acting and the experimentation of different processes to create site specific performances.
As a director I have a multicultural and multi skilled approach to performance open to everybody.
My object of study is the performer, my material of research the ritual cultural behaviour and my aim the widening of acess of the arts to enlarging audiences.
Roof Theatre has promoted workshops in Lisbon, London, New York and Rio de Janeiro AND has undertaken research in India.
The project started in the roofs of Manhattan and has travelled presenting workshops and developing its acting techniques in Asia and South America.
Using influences that go from Stanislavsky, to Grotowsky, Augusto Boal , Yoga, Ayurvedic science and Actors Studio, the teaching is experimental but yet effective and successful giving participants a sense of development, integration and freedom. Courses are open to all professional and non-professionals.
We also present and promot public performances and jamsessions.
