Italian Training Event

The workshop followed the guidelines of the project and dealt with related topics.

The workshop involved 15 people of varying ages, from around 19 to 60, of various nationalities and backgrounds.

In order to involve people as diverse as possible, the workshop drew on the association's many years of experience in running intercultural theatre workshops.

The workshop participants came from Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran, Italy, Japan, Mali, Moldova, Peru with different life experiences (students, workers, asylum seekers, migrants, retired people).

The workshop also saw the participation of Portuguese and Spanish partners, who held two different workshops with the participants, giving them the opportunity to experience a different approach to the topic and different working methodologies.

Training

In this workshop, participants will prepare a performing arts presentation.

In the process, participants will develop soft/civic skills such as verbal and non-verbal communication, interaction, argumentation, exposure, socialisation, empathy, self- confidence and self-esteem that directly contribute to the understanding and respect of European values.

Climate change (awareness raising and reachable actions at personal/institutional level for its mitigation) is the topic that will foment the discussion and promote the creative process.

Final Presentation

BRACE POSITION - gioco scenico di varia umanità

"BRACE POSITION - scenic game of diverse humanity"

The title of the show refers to the position that passengers must hold before impact in the event of an emergency landing. With 'Brace Position' we continue our reflection on the collective and intimate experience that humanity is experiencing in the contemporary situation, with a particular reference to the climate crisis. We are all united in the same destiny, all living beings on this burning earth, just like passengers on a plane.

On stage 14 actors/co-authors with different life experiences (students, workers, refugees) from different countries.

The show is built through the elaboration and assembly of the improvisations born during the workshop, thanks to the interaction between people and with the specific space in which it takes place. In this way the scenic space itself becomes the protagonist of the scene, giving life to a work that could not exist in a place other than the one in which it was created.
