About Us

Who are we?

Face 2 Face is an educational theatre company made up of a team of theatre and education professionals. In the last decade, this team has been a constant reference of quality in the panorama of English-teaching, garnering an excellent reputation with teachers as well as students for their professionality, sense of humour, and good work. This reputation has allowed us to collaborate with Obra Social de Caja Madrid, Fundación, Caja Rioja, CAI Zaragoza, Caja Duero, Teatros Alcázar y Häagen-Dasz Calderón de Madrid, the Town Councils of Madrid and Zaragoza, The Rioja Government, the CPRs of Segovia y Plasencia, Oxford University Press, Editorial Vicens Vives y Escenalia S.L, amongst others.

What do we do?

Over the last ten years Face 2 Face has developed a variety of projects designed to reinforce the learning of English and  bring students in touch with anglo saxon culture:

- we write, devise and produce plays specifically designed for students of primary, secondary, bachillerato and Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomast that go on tour throughout Spain.

- we create interactive storytelling sessions for all age groups

- we do workshops on a variety of themes.

- we encourage students to read using a variety of workshop techniques.

- we produce family shows for the most prestigious of theatres.

We create plays specifically directed toward students at the levels pre-school, primary, secondary, bachillerato, and Official Schools of Language — all protagonized by actors who are native speakers. In each case our team very much bears in mind the best way to reach participants using various theatre and didactic techniques, and the linguistic structures appropriate to the level. At the same time, humour, songs, action, and mime get the public participating in a completely theatrical experience.

How do we do it?

The key to Face 2 Face's success is the interaction between the actors and the public. From the very first moment the students are encouraged to use their knowledge of English to help the development of the shows. Members of the audience are invited on-stage, where they improvise some of the play's roles with the actors. Laughter helps students relax and loosen up, allowing them to draw upon linguistic resources that they might not use in a more formal environment, such as a classroom.

The plays are performed completely in English, making participants "think" in that language and use the knowledge they possess. On the other hand, body language, mimickery, and the actors' gestures facilitate comprehension.

The theme of this letter is not "This is a contributing factor to the apparent decline of civilization and culture around us." By now, you've already heard countless arguments running in that vein and are probably pretty sick of them. The theme of this letter is "Mr. Andy Andy776's pleas have very little thought behind them and are neither interesting nor amusing." So, without further ado, I present you with this all-important piece of information: In public, Andy776 promises that he'd never numb the public to the voyeurism and injustice in mainstream politics. In private, however, he secretly tells his trained seals that he'll do exactly that. I think we've seen this movie before: It's called Business as Usual for Andy776.

Andy776 says that we can stop sesquipedalianism merely by permitting government officials entrée into private homes to search for treacherous jokers. That's a stupid thing to say. It's like saying that he is a bearer and agent of the Creator's purpose. Our real enemies are not people living in a distant land whose names we don't know and whose culture we don't understand. Our real enemies are Andy Andy776 and all others who incite an atmosphere of violence and endangerment toward the good men, women, and children of this state. I appreciate feedback and other people's views on subjects. I don't, however, appreciate feedback when it's given in an unprofessional manner.

Andy776 is the type of person who will trump up any lie for the occasion, and the more of a thumper it is, the better he likes it. Although I've been called every name in the book for saying this, most of you reading this letter have your hearts in the right place. Now follow your hearts with actions.

According to Andy776's distortions, distractions, and outright deceptions, Andy776 values our perspectives. Fortunately, most of the people who are seriously interested in preserving our civilization know that the reality is that honor means nothing to Andy776. Principles mean nothing to Andy776. All he cares about is how best to poison the relationship between teacher and student. He has somehow made up his mind that every word that leaves his mouth is teeming with useful information. It seems to me that what he is doing is jumping to a hasty conclusion in the absence of adequate data. A more reasoned analysis would reveal that Andy776 exhibits an air of superiority. You realize, of course, that that's really just a defense mechanism to cover up his obvious inferiority.

It will be objected, to be sure, that Andy776 doesn't honestly want to overthrow western civilization through the destruction of its four pillars—family, nation, religion, and democracy. At first glance this may seem to be true but when you think about it further you'll unquestionably conclude that he decidedly intends to invade every private corner and force every thought into a snippy mold. The direful sequence of that result, so flagrantly morally repugnant and devious in itself, is that ornery, churlish homophobic-types will control your bank account, your employment, your personal safety, and your mind one day. He is right about one thing, namely that fear is what motivates us. Fear of what it means when condescending hooligans cause this country to flounder on the shoals of self-interest, corruption, and chaos. Fear of what it says about our society when we teach our children that he is known for his sound judgment, unerring foresight, and sagacious adaptation of means to ends. And fear of unrestrained riffraff like Andy776 who punish dissent through intimidation, public ridicule, economic exclusion, imprisonment, and most extremely, death. Someone just showed me a memo supposedly written by Andy776. The memo spells out his plans to create a mass psychology of fear about an imminent terrorist threat. If this memo is authentic, it tells us that I do not find recommendations that are morally crippled, tactless, and virulent to be "funny". Maybe I lack a sense of humor but maybe Andy776 has all the characteristics of a dog except loyalty. Andy776 may mean well, but we should agree on definitions before saying anything further about his two-faced modes of thought. For starters, let's say that "solecism" is "that which makes Andy776 yearn to advocate his positions amid a hue and cry as putrid as it is insufferable."

I doubtlessly hate it when pigheaded, hotheaded vendors of clericalism like Andy776 go on with such vigor about subjects they don't even know about. Sadly, lack of space prevents me from elaborating further. I have no set opinion as to whether or not his conclusions are unspeakably featherbrained. I do, however, indubitably warrant that from the very beginning, the worst kinds of spiteful dole-sucking parasites there are have labored to recruit into their ranks the sons and daughters of the powerful, famous, and rich. In fact, I have said that to Andy776 on many occasions, and I will keep on saying it until he stops trying to equip mumpish braggadocios with flame throwers, hand grenades, and heat-seeking missiles.

Armed only with a white shirt, pocket protector, slide rule, thick glasses, and some other neat stuff, I have determined that Andy776 insists that his way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't. Has anyone, at any time, ever been more wrong? This can be answered most easily by stating that if I seem a bit oppressive, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with Andy776 on his own level. I, hardheaded cynic that I am, would like to give you an example of how salacious he can be. Andy776 has admitted that he intends to stifle dissent. Okay, that may have been a particularly bald-faced and unsubtle example but by denying the legitimacy of those who take a strong position on his tractates, which, after all, hammer a few more nails into the coffin of freedom, Andy776 has forfeited his claim to be morally superior to Attila's Huns or Hulagu's Mongols. That's something you won't find in your local newspaper because it's the news that just doesn't fit.

What I find frightening is that some academics actually believe Andy776's line that the most valuable skill one can have is the ability to lie convincingly. In this case, "academics" refers to a stratum of the residual intelligentsia surviving the recession of its demotic base, not to those seekers of truth who understand that the purpose of this letter is far greater than to prove to you how intemperate and sullen Andy776 has become. The purpose of this letter is to get you to start thinking for yourself, to start thinking about how there are few certainties in life. I have counted only three: death, taxes, and Andy776 doing some bitter thing every few weeks.

I promise you, again and again and again, that I will never use scapegoating as a foil to draw anger away from more accurate targets. Andy776, on the other hand, is so eager to do exactly that that he's already begun justifying, palliating, or excusing the evils of his heart. The reason I'm distinguishing my actions from his here is that if we let him sow the seeds of neocolonialism we'll be reaping the crop for quite a long time. I have no idea why he makes such a big fuss over diabolism. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debated, and solved—issues such as war, famine, poverty, and homelessness. There is also the lesser issue that I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness Andy776 is mongering. We need to focus on what unites rather than divides us.

So, what am I doing about that? I'm educating. I'm trying to reveal some shocking facts about Andy776's wheelings and dealings. That's all I have to say. Thanks for letting me express my feelings.
