Prague Quadrennial’s Symposium

We invite you to Prague Quadrennial’s symposium on Technologies in theatre, performance, and exhibition design. Together with almost a hundred speakers from 30 countries across six continents, we will be exploring the multi-dimensional dynamic of technologies in theatre, performance, and exhibition design.

SYMPOSIUM: ‘TECHNOLOGIES’

Technologies in theatre, performance, and exhibition design

Whether old or new, high or low, digital or analogue, technologies, or different tools, instruments, devices, equipment, machines, and machinery, are potential and potent resources in the scenographic process. The recent technological developments that require more specialized knowledge and expertise have brought on the need and the opportunity for scenographers and designers to collaborate with scientists, engineers, and industry partners. While pushing the boundaries of what is possible in performance, employing these most advanced technologies is conditioned by access, stemming from material, institutional, and political conditions in which we produce art. Moreover, our ideas of technologies are often reduced to Western notions of progress and innovation.

Together with more than 80 speakers from 30 countries across six continents – performance designers, scenographers, makers, artists, and researchers who work with and on technologies – we will be exploring the multi-dimensional dynamic of technologies in theatre, performance, and exhibition design.

REIEFESTIVAL

Schermata 2023-05-11 alle 23.48.13

Fourteen national and    international makers and    artists created shows in   keeping with Bruges’ status as  a World Heritage site. Each  maker tackled the theme of “Faith” in order to make their own personal interpretation. From 18 to 20 August, you will discover how their ideas have been transformed into theatre, dance, art performances, music and more at various locations along the Bruges canals.

P.G.R. (PRO GRATIA RECEPTA)

WORKSHOP Azzurra De Gregorio

During this participatory project, Azzurra De Gregorio explores the magic     and rituals behind faith as well as the role of ex-votos together with the    public. Participants make their own ex-votos, with inspiration drawn from different countries and historical periods, and experience new forms of hybrid and shared rituals.

P.G.R. is for all visitors to the Reiefestival who would like to thank someone   or something for granting their wishes. The ex-votos made during the workshop will be offered to a mysterious figure during a boat procession, who will then perform a ritual on the water.

MY PARTICIPATION @ DANSATHON 2021

13 dicembre 2021 / news / Nessun commento 0

DANCE + HACKATHON = DANSATHON

DANSATHON

DANSATHON is a 3 days connected, collaborative, European event to imagine the future of dance.

At the crossroads between dance and new technologies to imagine new artistic forms, new stages, new experiences and new ways to engage. Combining the best of these two worlds to imagine the dance of tomorrow, enhance cultural life and social interactions. These are the aim of the DANSATHON project.

Initiated by BNP Paribas Foundation, the Dansathon is co-organised and developed in partnership with three major Dance Institutions :

  • La Maison de la Danse de Lyon (France)
  • Sadler’s Wells (UK)
  • Théâtre de Liège (Belgium)

Mix dance and technology to imagine new forms of art, new stages, new experiences and interactions.Combine the best of two worlds to imagine the future of dance, enrich cultural life and increase social interaction. This is our aspiration with the DANSATHON.

Dance is a language which can create a shared sense of belonging, of endeavour, of experience. The Dansathon proposes to explore how this can be retained while embracing the opportunities of new technologies.

Today, dance exists in theatres, in the city, on the web. Theatres are important actors of the city and play a major role in people’s social and cultural life. In the digital era, they search for new paths to connect with their community and talk to new audience.

Mixing dance and technology, can we create new artistic forms? What kind of performance can we imagine? What kind of new experience? How can we make dance more viral and accessible?

How can digital dance cross boundaries, social, physical, cultural? How can theatres better contribute to a rich and harmonious urban life? 

How can we multiply positive collective experience? What would be a digital dancing society?

This 2nd edition, if the global health situation allows, will take place between 19-21 November 2021 in the Média Rives Studios of Radio-Télévision belge francophone.

APOTROPAICA, MY NEW TEXT FOR VOGUE ITALIA

14 settembre 2021 / news / Nessun commento 0

apotropaica

Creature fiabesche difformi, contornate da    un’aura di perturbante bellezza, emergono lentamente da un paesaggio misterioso, dando corpo e bellezza alle nostre paure più recondite. La visione di simili creature è possibile solo se scegliamo di guardarle intenzionalmente, solo se accettiamo che dentro di noi abiti una parte oscura, lunare, non addomesticabile. Accettare significa vedere, e vedere conoscere, portare alla luce. Accade dunque che imparare a praticare questo tipo di sguardo ci coinvolga in una battaglia perenne ma necessaria. Come aveva infatti ben compreso Nietzsche: “Chi combatte con i mostri deve guardarsi dal non diventare egli stesso un mostro. E se guarderai a lungo nell’abisso, l’abisso guarderà dentro di te”.
