The Body in Resistance is a 4-day physical lab led by Tatiana Spivakova, centered on the embodied exploration of Federico Garc a Lorca's poetic and theatrical language. Lorca's writing pulses with desire, repression, and a deep longing for love and liberation-forces that call to be experienced through the body rather than approached intellectually. This workshop invites participants to engage physically with Lorca's texts, tracing the sensations they provoke and identifying zones of impulse, vibration, and resistance. Where does expression surge forward, and where does it hold back? What within us dares, and what restrains? Through dynamic training, guided improvisations, and scene work, participants will explore the tension between expansion and containment-particularly in relation to themes of unfulfilled or forbidden desire present in works such as Yerma and Blood Wedding. Resistance is approached not as a limitation, but as a vital source of creative energy. The lab encourages performers to develop presence, availability, and clarity of impulse, while reconnecting with vulnerability as an essential artistic resource. Work will take place across solo, partner, and ensemble formats, combining physical practice with dramaturgical investigation. Participants are invited to bring a memorized scene or text by Lorca, in any language. A preparatory Zoom session will support connection and collaboration ahead of the workshop. This immersive experience offers a space to transform inner resistance into expressive power, and to cultivate a more embodied, intuitive, and liberated performance practice.
