The workshops
In September 2010 we will focus on contacting various associations, organisations and groups that specialise in working with amputees.
Subsequently, a questionnaire will be given to potential participants in order to learn more about each amputee’s potential, mobility, skills, and interests.
The aim is to locate amputees who are in Catalonia and interested in participating in our drama and movement workshops.
The website www.unafiestaparaboris.com will serve as a forum and information platform for all participants and future audiences.
The workshops will take place in March and April 2011 at http://www.lestruch.cat in Sabadell (Barcelona).
Please go to The dates for more information.
