Theater Community in Spain
The mission of La Xixa is to facilitate the creation of spaces for empowerment through Participatory Methodologies, Process Oriented Psychology and Theatre of the Oppressed to generate processes of individual and collective transformation in contexts of social vulnerability.
These methodologies ensure that all agents become crucial actors in their own development, by helping individuals and groups to create awareness on how they perceive and live their experiences, and gives them tools to learn to change their approach. Those tools consist of a set of games and theatrical exercises that promote observation, critical action and pro-positive behaviours among participants. “What we do on stage is not reality, but it is a rehearsal of how to transform it.

This platform aims to facilitate and promote citizenship to be activated and organized in diverse, formal and informal ways, using artistic mediation, as a means for social transformation. La Xixa brings her knowledge of 10 years of community building using theater, body and performativity.
The project of La Xixa Let’s Commune “Self-managed Creative Communities” aims to assume the challenge of building a community and to tackle the challenge of establishing innovative tools that contribute to:
- Make people who are far from different organizations, existing projects and the devices of community life can approach and strengthen themselves collectively with art.
- That people who participate in the daily life of the neighborhoods from informal spaces can have links with more organized participation spaces.
- To generate meaningful experiences and learning that will arouse interest in political and artistic participation between citizens and participation in community life, as well as arouse interest in topics that are often left behind or forgotten.
