20703411 - LABORATORY: PERFORMING ARTS 2

The workshop aims to introduce the students to a specific procedure in making a theatre performance, providing them, together with elements of knowledge on a theoretical level, the possibility of making it a concrete experience.
The work will mainly concern the awareness of the place as common and concrete ground of the creative process. Then, it will develop in the recognition of the tools and languages (light, sound, physical action) and in the experimentation of several findings and solutions, related to points of views and the interplay of skills and materials. Every participant is involved as a performer and as a designer of the collective creation. The common goal is the proposal and the public rehearsal of an accomplished score, worked out from one of the hypotheses of stage composition identified in the space.

Programme

The workshop introduces the students to the "theater of places" project: a project concerning the creation of theatrical and installation works starting from the specific characters of the sites. In this project the site is assumed not as "set" for actions prepared elsewhere, but as a "text" and a matrix for creation. Following a careful work of "listening" by all the members of the theatrical group (the director, the actors and those who deal with the visual and sound aspects), the place becomes a generative element with respect to the construction of all aspects the performance: text, dramaturgy, body, space, sound, light.
In this project, texts, actions, movement take shape in the course of the preparatory work carried out on the spot, on the basis of the suggestions gathered in it and of the suggestions coming from the pre-existing elements and relations. The same sounds and noises of the place can be assimilated in the performance, becoming part of it.
On the first day, the workshop will be introduced from a theoretical speech on the project, with audiovisual supports, with related discussions. In the next two days it will put the participants in the condition of experiencing - in relation to the space in which the workshop will take place - the possible relations with the site, with the elaboration of short actions and interventions related to space, objects, light, following the “theatre of places” principles. The last two days will be devoted to the linking of actions to each other and montage.
Given the context in which the workshop will take place (ATCL space), particular importance will be given to the role played by light in the procedure described.
