Introduction
The course encourages the participants to reflect on their condition as performers through the search for new forms and formats unhinged by recognizable codes and styles. Together with other artists, they apply their own stylistic code in dialogue with the group, aware that the source of creativity is in the diversity of the human being, with its own fragility and potential. The artistic and poetic act is the fulcrum: it collects the intuitions and details resulting from careful observation of the surrounding environment and care between the collaborators. The course of practical-theoretical training does not intend to focus on the therapeutic purposes of the integrated performing arts. Rather, it centers on the artistic, aesthetic, and expressive needs of the creative process in the diversity of bodies, in comparison with their ideas as a rule, and the conscious break with their own routines. The path, in fact, requires a discursive space oriented exclusively to practice so that participants, free to experiment, arrive at new creative modes.
Genesis
The CAS Performing Arts and Inclusion arises from the need to consider diversity as a source of wealth, and offers an opportunity to explore new forms of individual and collective creation. The CAS continues the discourse and practices introduced with the research and training project “DisAbility on Stage / Disabled Bodies in Discourse”, dedicated to the theme of disability in contemporary performance practices, as well as in programs of study at universities of applied science.
To whom it is addressed
The CAS is aimed at artists and international professionals in the field of contemporary performing arts (e.g. physical theatre, dance, performance) with or without disabilities who wish to deepen their artistic practice, and expand their repertoire in scenic arts in inclusive contexts.
Methodology
The practical-theoretical training course consists of didactic modules divided into three thematic macro areas. The first delivers the tools of an alternative and uncoded method, useful for creating artistic products in inclusive contexts (devising). The second concerns the presentation and research of different methodologies of individual and collective creation (creating). The third is aimed at the analysis of artistic content and the acquisition of planning and organizational elements for the management and distribution of a product/project in the field of inclusive performing arts (producing arts).
Duration and calendar
The integral course is divided into a year beginning in January 2024. The individual modules are concentrated in such a way as to reconcile training with possible work commitments. These hours include practical and theoretical training and project preparation. The CAS schedules are flexible and can vary between 5 and 7 hours per day depending on the possibilities and needs of directors and participants.
