Reading is sexy
Text creation and dubbing workshop
Would you like to combine film and philosophy in an unexpected way? Can you imagine modifying a film script to give it your own style? If the answer is yes, this workshop is for you.
This workshop is designed for young people, adults, and seniors who want to explore the world of performing arts and audiovisual media. Here, we'll immerse ourselves in a creative process where critical thinking and pop culture intersect, and fun will always be the main focus.
What we aim to do is offer you a different way to approach philosophical and reflective texts, addressing topics like the eco-social crisis, but in an entertaining and surprising way. We're not going to turn you into a dubbing expert, but rather invite you to experiment, to take what's already there and discover that the results can be as unexpected as they are exciting.
Over several sessions, we'll work in a creative lab with texts that address the eco-social crisis. We'll use pre-selected fictional scenes and transform them with our own dialogue. Here, anything goes: create, modify, and surprise ourselves. No acting or voice-over experience is necessary, just bring a desire to play, laugh, and let your imagination run wild.
We want to explore topics like climate activism, ecofeminism, and the ecosocial crisis in an accessible and fun way. We want you to experiment, reinterpret what you see, and create something new from what already exists.
No prior experience is necessary, just a desire to try new things and enjoy the process. Interested?
Reading is Sexy was founded in 2013 by Cris Celada and Tomás Castro. To date, we have produced seven videos, ranging from 7 to 12 minutes in length, adapting texts by Virginie Despentes, Colectivo Tiqqun, Valerie Solanas, Michel Foucault, Virginia Woolf, and Angela Davis.
