«El món ha canviat, ha canviat el circ i he canviat jo, però algunes coses, per a mi, es mantenen iguals. Una d’aquestes és una màxima que he aplicat tota la vida: que l’aventura sempre paga». PITI E

#RESIDENCIASARTÍSTICASDedicamos este número a ese paréntesis de la vida productiva que es la posibilidad de estar dedicado exclusivamente a un proyecto creativo, a imaginarlo, a macerarlo o a realizarlo. Dedicamos esta Dramatica a escuchar experiencias de artistas, a conocer los lugares que acogen, los afectos y los cuidados que despliegan para ellas y ellos y las ideas sobre como hacer que estos lapsos de tiempo sean fructiferos sin por eso esperar resultados inmediatos; simplemente proporcionar un acompañamiento, una confianza y una tranquilidad (y a ser posible, un dinero) para que no se detengan las trayectorias ni se abandonen las vocaciones, tan fragiles en un ambito, el artistico, siempre vulnerable frente al fantasma de la precariedad.

Secta tiene una finalidad clara y manifiesta: la escuela. Y una estructura íntimamente ligada a esta finalidad: los ejercicios y las jornadas.El cuaderno de ejercicios diarios que lo compone se despliega hacia la fundacion de una escuela de tecnica dramatica, pero una escuela que: a) no es la escuela del artista; b) no es un lugar donde se aprende a actuar de la mano de maestros del arte de la interpretacion; c) ni siquiera es un lugar; d) es una dimension del saber, no un nexo en la transmision del saber.Claudia Castellucci propone, asi, un espacio colectivo pero no comunitario (es decir, no afectivo) destinado al desarrollo de un conocimiento agonistico (es decir, no pacificado) de la realidad, equidistante de cualquier tentacion de caracter magisterial asi como de esa tradicion pasiva y apresurada que consiste en destilar con devocion un legado de la propia experiencia, y sobre todo atenta al mecanismo paradojico de la "secta": un procedimiento acritico estructuralmente destinado a producir las condiciones subjetivas de la accion. Incluso de la accion teatral."Un viaje al mundo del conocimiento a traves de una escritura cautivadora y trepidante. Un manual nada didactico, lleno de sugerencias, donde tambien se pueden apuntar las propias reflexiones y anotar los
