Author: Jorge Gallardo Altamirano

Creator and researcher in the field of performing arts. Since 2014, Jorge has collaborated in the management of educational programs at the Water Mills of Santa Lucía (Cadiz), offering an extended vision of ecology. Together with the neighborhood association ‘Pedro Esquivel’ he continues to develop a program of cultural activation with the local community. Within these community action projects, he has joined forces with Karmit Even-Zur and Pol Parrhesia for the organization and management of the Bee Time residencies. He is mainly interested in the rituality of artistic movements through an extended vision of the theater and performance, to provide an active and collective terrain of sensible growth. In his doctoral research ‘Conscious Epiphany’ he develops ideas about the Art’s capacity to generate spaces in which social groups can appropriate artistic tools, dismantling the ideas of profession and the roles of authorship. This research also addresses the body’s technical capabilities in action that make it possible to transform the gaze, developing a stimulation of the capacities of the being in connection with the environment and its memory.
