REIMAGINANDO EL CUERPO.ESPACIO: Taller de storytelling espacial

Date: June 25th, 2025

Location: Centro Cultural España, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Description:

Open to individuals from any discipline who wanted to explore narrative through dialogues between design, body, and space.

In this spatial storytelling workshop we explored the relationship between the body and space using tools such as dérives (urban drifts), multisensory documentation, storyboards and spatial scores, and embodied experiments. We worked with materials that extended the body into space—fabrics, ribbons, and strips—and, through mutual dialogues, transformed it. This workshop emphasized experimentation, speculation, and vulnerability as vehicles for personal and collective discovery, replacing the linear notion of a final product as the main focus. We used this workshop as a safe space to question, fail, and reimagine alternate ways of creating narratives in space. This gathering served as a prelude to the extended workshop REIMAGINING THE SPACE.BODY, which was developed in collaboration with the Architectural Association in London.
