El Interprete_THE PERFORMER offers an intensive space to expand tools and technique—to feel at ease within one’s body and unfold its expressive power. It’s not about acting; it’s about being, and being responsible for what we do, where we do it, and for whom we do it. About looking and being looked at. About allowing oneself to be affected. About recognizing the strength of what is alive when it is exposed. “There! HERE! where action vibrates between thought and sensation, between risk and pleasure, the performer emerges.”

Melina Seldes offers a laboratory where each body discovers its own tools, its way of speaking, its way of being seen. Where the performer stops executing and becomes an event. Where the performer exposes themself, to sense, to choose while doing, to embrace the power of what we are when we fully inhabit the present.

Because an event happens when the body is truly there, where its feet are.

“No one is a prophet in their own Body” is a gathering and discussion about El Intérprete_THE PERFORMER. It includes a documented screening that offers perspectives and reflections on the possibilities of performance and on what it means—and enables—to be a performer.

Can an artistic training program have implications and repercussions on the way we relate to one another in our daily lives? What challenges does an individual face when engaging with the resonances produced by their own actions?
