S2A, Arts and Humanities Laboratory; a bridge between East and West, North and South; a space to connect, to share, to explore, to listen, to learn, to discover, to create and to inspire.
The unique approach created by “Spirit2Arts” takes as its blueprint the study or analysis of the levels of consciousness on human behaviour. The aim is not to “heal” our ‘inner psychodrama’ by creating a piece of theatre or “drama” out of it, but to observe, understand and embrace the inner functioning of our being; our irreconcilable contradictions, physically, emotionally and cognitively.
Stories of the Body / Bodies of the Soul
Body awareness / LIP (Life Integration Process)
​
The Life Integration Process (LIP) is a model developed by Wilfried Nelles (nellesinstitut.de), modelling the individual life path, looking at different stages of our careers and traversing the journey we have taken so far, integrating everything we have done. So far we have been excluded from it. The seven stages correspond to the seven levels of consciousness that can also be mapped using the chakras: embryonic age, childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, mature adulthood, old age, death. We look at the different stages of life from the position of adulthood (or, depending on age, early old age or old age), living from which we endure all the tragic, traumatic, suffering, or even the past full of joys and gifts that we have been part of, which is our individual, built our special life, shaped, and thus each has a place and a meaning.
Exploring our own body, to take real consciousness of him/her/it and making him/her/it move… better, to let “his/hers/its own ego” to move, to let him tell his story, frames us in a different relationship between our brain and our physical, and by extension with our emotions. Through exercises from the study and analysis of actor’s movement we will listen the stories our body has to tell us.

"Please Feel Free NOT to Find Your Place" (TTL23)
A LAB organised as a series of three connected workshops. Acontinuous creative process. that takes movement as its axe. From the movement geometry to its intentionality exploring its organicity, theatricality and musicality to arrive to its conection with the voice/text. A journey through tecnique, pre-expresion and conection.
In paralel, the short story “Romance with a Double Bass” by A. Checkov will bring the words and “eachone's narrative" to the process.
​
"In-Pressions / Ex-Pressions. To be & Not to be"(TTL22)
Taking this premise as its starting point, Spiri2Arts is proposing a laboratory to explore and develop a creative and “therapeutic” process; an experience depicted in Italo Calvino’s novel “The Cloven Viscount” which presents a world divided into “good” and “bad”. This Manichaeism approach based within the main character offers the opportunity to explore our inner dualities, contradictions, dark sides, duplicities and irrationalities in the pursuit of a more harmonious inner balance and strength: “To be & To be”.
​
"Your Body Tells Your Story"(TTL24)
The 3rd TransilvaniaTheatreLab (Summer 2024), invites to discover “your story” through your body. During a week we will listen the non-heard, we will explore “the invisible” through “the visible”. To make connection, re-connect and even why not, re-conciliate with our bodies, with our souls. Breathing, energetic channels, vocal connection, inner music, movement… will be our vocabulary. A story written by Edo Gergely Alfonsín will also guide us in this physical, and non-physical journey to our bodies and souls.
