PHYSICAL THEATRE ► VOICE EXPERIMENTATION ► DANCE ► MARTIAL ARTS Workshop, presentation of work, performance, meeting
Under the artistic direction of Instabili Vaganti
The festival will offer a program of training and theatre education that will inspire a deep exploration of the actor’s craft. Professional performers will have the opportunity to gain different techniques ranging from physical and vocal training, to dance and martial arts, with the purpose of applying traditional and ritual arts elements to the contemporary performing arts.
The theme for this edition is Updating Tradition, a concept that will introduce the performer to traditional and ritual performance elements. The primary focus will be on learning and updating established techniques, while developing a manner by which the performer can apply these skills in contemporary theatre practice.
All three weeks of workshops, meetings, performances, and presentations of work will be guided by a new generation of masters from the contemporary stage, each widely recognized for their methodology and continued research into performance techniques, as well as physical and vocal training.
The first week of PerformAzioni will open with a collaborative workshop of vocal explorations and the process of composing material led by Voice Pedagogue Electa Behrens and Director Jørn Riegels Wimpel, members of d-moor produksjoner (Norway/ England). The following week will consist of a workshop in the ancient Indian martial art Kalarippayattu, led by Sankar Lal Sivasankaran Nair and Justyna Rodzińska-Nair, founders of the Studio Kalari at the Grotowski Intitute in Wroclaw (India/Poland). Finally, there will be a workshop on the performer training and the creative process of physical actions, directed by Instabili Vaganti (Italy).
The festival is organized thanks to the support of LIV Performing Arts Centre, Bologna and in collaboration with the Grotowski Institute of Wroclaw, Poland, University of Kent, England, the Fond for utøvende kunstnere and Norsk Kulturråd, Norway.
