Writing and Movement Workshop: ‘Persona’ with Ana Haro and Silvia Mar

Ana Haro returns to King’s Island accompanied by Silvia Mar on Saturdays September 13 and October 11 for a series of workshops combining writing and movement.

Inspired by the work of Cindy Sherman, this workshop invites participants to immerse themselves in exercises of compositional interpretation, performance and writing in which the body becomes text.

Through a series of proposals, Haro and Mar will guide a lively exploration on the relationship between body, space and work, in order to enter the artistic piece not only as spectators, but also as active presences. The painting expands: it becomes an environment, a movement, an embodied experience. To be a work and, at the same time, to write a work.

The workshop will be held in Spanish, with support available in Catalan, English, French and Italian.

Although the activity is free, we recommend that you reserve your place and ferry ticket here.

About Silvia Mar
Silvia Mar is a multidisciplinary artist and explorer of new paradigms of life. She currently resides in Menorca, where she has found an environment more aligned with her values of connection with nature, simplicity and conscious creation. With a degree in International Relations, she worked in several countries between Europe and the United States, until she decided to leave that structure behind to start a more intimate and essential path. With an artistic background focused on dance and somatic movement, Silvia also cultivates a passion for writing and artistic weaving, while investigating the relationship between body, space and matter. Her work stems from a deep impulse to transform physical and sensory relationships, promoting a more respectful, intuitive and connected look with life.

About Ana Haro
Ana Haro is a writer and journalist, born in Madrid and settled in Menorca since 2010. It is on this island that her writing school -El taller de Ana Haro- was born, a collective creation project in which she organizes workshops and readings, in Menorca and at a distance, to share texts, safeguarding the ancient custom of gathering around stories. He has published, in community, seven anthologies of short stories: ‘Peccata minuta’ (2016), ‘Mare nostrum’ (2017), ‘Tempus Fugit’ (2018), ‘Alter ego’ (2020), ‘In extremis (2021), ‘La casa azul’ (2023), and ‘Patios’ (2024). The practice of writing is the tool he proposes to understand ourselves; to find our own voice and images; to inhabit an island, that is to say, a body, and to remove, with words, the uncomfortable branches of our jungle of words.
