Personal development through the performing arts

Teatro y Consciencia© Level 2

With Anna Sabaté

One of the great weaknesses in our relationships with other human beings lies in our lack of self-knowledge. We cannot truly delve into others if we have not delved into our own being first. A challenge that we address at Espai Philae through the performing arts in the Theater and Consciousness© Level 1 course. But there is another major weakness: the tyranny of the ego that prevents us from listening and empathizing with others. This second level of Theater and Consciousness© is born to confront it.

Did you walk that first path with Anna Sabaté? Well, we invite you to continue forward. Theater is undoubtedly the most complete art of all: it encompasses the mind, body, voice, and emotion. From all these dimensions, we access our purest state, and from all these dimensions, we now want to transcend the limits of our selves to enjoy healthier and more authentic relationships. Interpersonal relationships are a part of our lives. We must learn to live them from the heart. And the performing arts allow us to do so.

Creativity. Sensory perception. Transformation. Symbiosis. Imagination. Research. Dance. Movement. Improvisation. Conflict. Communication. Acceptance. Theater and Consciousness© Level 2 offers learning of interpersonal competencies such as active listening, empathy, compassion, vulnerability, or non-judgment through the Sabaté Method® . A combination of theater, Gestalt psychotherapy, coaching techniques, and neurolinguistic programming, among other disciplines.

Enter into a different way of relating. Venture into an unknown territory of tools that will allow you to enjoy more genuine, free, and liberating connections. We use art as a way to access the unconscious and expand the map of our possibilities and solutions. They are there. But they cannot see the light from thought alone. They must be experienced. And what better way to experience them than through theatrical characters and scenes? It’s experiential. It’s effective. It’s fun. And above all, it’s deep and essential.
