The Black theater is basically the combination of the black with the fluorescent colors. That is to say, we will use the fluorescent ones for everything what it interests to show and the black to us for all the things that we want to hide.

Between the elements indispensable for the development of this technique we have:

The body: Instrument that commonly gives to life to the material and which we called invisible body, whose own body executes the expressive movement of the visible body. We begin with the work of the invisible body to begin the expression with freedom; already obtained the fluidity of movements, the assimilation of the technique, will happen to work in principle progressively with the visible body using those parts of the body easiest to move: hands, arms, feet, legs and emphasizing them with fluorescent colors.

The space: characteristics of the physical space and the space organization, the place where we move for the accomplishment of our work. With respect to first we will consider the following considerations:

  • It must be totally in the dark, all the black space: ceiling, walls and ground. If not outside possible, it is essential that the wall of the bottom is black. To locate the black light in suitable and comfortable site. As far as the space work the experimentation with the different working levels is fundamental, the use of the space, the groups and the open and closed positions.
  • We have said that the body to become invisible must be of black. But really he is not invisible, it has a volume and therefore it occupies a space that there is to consider in the space organization. The body disappears as long as everything what is behind him is black.
  • Manipulation of material: The constructed or adapted objects move by the space, acquiring protagonist and reaching characteristic animated they manage to summon up own life.

    The key to develop a good work of black theater is the discipline and responsibility with which each of us evalue the project.

    All must be black dresses and prepared to show the best thing of if in the scene, doing the correct use of the elements attributed to the spectacle.

  • Music: it has the capacity to transport us to other worlds, to undergo new experiences and sensations. For this reason, we must take advantage of it like essential support in our activity.

    Music: To look for instrumental music preferably.

    Materials: Materials: fabrics, paintings, folios, fine card-boards, paper of soothe…, generally any object that emphasizes of different textures and colors. There is a great variety of articles that can be used.

    Obvious we cannot forget the most important material all: Black light: fluorescent tubes and/or light bulbs. Without those little tubes it would be impossible to us to realize the technique.

  • We remember that the base of the technique of the black Theater is in the total dark and in the power that exerts envelope she them fluorescent colors, to begin and to understand the black world, I recommend to use gloves or any other object of white color, and of this form to see like in the middle of the total dark, the fluorescent ones stand out.
