Workshops , Italy, Bologna, 20 March 2012
PerformAzioni is the first International Workshop Festival in Bologna and will take place from 20th to 31st March 2012 at the LIV Performing Arts Centre.
Il Festival is focused on the performing Arts and is aimed to bond high education and training programmes for the performer with a series of events for the audience.
The 12 days programme of Performazioni includes, in fact, workshops, open classes, meetings, presentations of work, exhibitions, artistic installations, performances, with international masters widely recognized for their methodology and continued research into contemporary performance techniques, as well as physical and vocal training.
Part of the practical work with participants will be led outdoor, to explore the relation between the performer and the natural/urban environment, in order to create performances happening hic et nunc.
Research Project is the theme chosen for this edition. The masters invited will introduce participants and spectators in their own methodology of work sharing their own performative research projects which foresee the interaction between the different languages of the contemporary performing arts and the involvement of the performer in the creation of innovative and original paths of creation and education.
PerformAzioni will start with InOrganic Body – Upgrading Actor, workshop on physical and vocal training of the actor in the contemporary theatre, in which Anna Dora Dorno and Nicola Pianzola will lead participants in the research developed within the project Running in the fabrik directed by Instabili Vaganti. There will be two workshops focused on dance and physical theatre: Il corpo Instabile (the un-stable body), led by Anna Albertarelli and Roberto Pssuti of Gohatto project, and Pooling led by the Serbian performer Nhandan Chirco. The festival will end with Lalish Theater Labor, ensemble original from Kurdistan which founded in Wien a performing arts centre and that will lead the workshop Songs as the source: The Way of the Energetic Voice and Vocal Action, with Shamal Amin and Nigar Hasib.
The special events of this edition will be The contemporary Hermit, the ne west performance of Instabili Vaganti, and the performance No Shadow of Lalish theater Labor from Wien. Furthermore there will be work demonstrations and presentation of work in progress with the workshop participants, and meetings of presentation of the research projects developed by the masters and the theatre groups invited with video, lectures, practical demonstrations. It will be possible also to visit the exhibitions Migrazioni of Luana Filippi and Instabili Vaganti, and the installation of the project No Shadow of Lalish Theater Labor.

WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
20th – 24th March 2012 h. 10.00 – 13.30 / 14.30 – 16.00
In_Organic BOdy - Upgrading actor
Workshop on physical and vocal training of the performer in the contemporary theatre
Led by Anna Dora Dorno and Nicola Pianzola Instabili Vaganti (Italy)
The work aims to free the movement from its resistances and limits of the every day life and to investigate the difference between organic and inorganic actions, through the study of the rhythm , the decomposition of gesture and sound, the exploration of the repetition of actions and vocal elements, in order to introduce participants to a new language of the performer, created by Instabili Vaganti and described by the theatre reviews as a “Contemporary Biomechanics”.
20 – 22 March 2012 h. 18.30 – 22.30
Il corpo In-stabile (The Un-stable body)
Introspective research segments and theatrical/sound developments
Stage of dance and phyisical theatre with live electronic music.
Led by Anna Albertarelli and Roberto Passuti – Gohatto project (Italy).
Un-stable body is an experiential workshop about relationship between an actor/dancer's body and the sound. The vibrations which are created in the skeletal, muscular, circulatory system and the live sound interaction, build up a continuous experiential rebound. Our research is about the sound's perception in the bowels or in the blood or on the skin of our body. Un-stable body isn't a workshop strictly for dancers but is suitable for who is interesting in a research in theatre and music. Roberto Passuti with his sound effects is able to transport the group led by Anna Albertarelli in an acoustic journey without stopping the creative flow between a dancing body and the sound dynamics that he builds up.
25– 28 March 2012 h. 10.00 – 13.30 / 14.30 – 16.00
Songs as the source: The Way of the Energetic Voice and Vocal Action
Workshop on physical and vocal action and on ritual and traditional singing techniques.
Led by Shamal Amin and Nigar Hasib - Lalish Theater Labor (Austria)
Songs create our actions. Therefore each song, each vocal action, prescribes its own precise score for the movement of the body. The body deals directly with the “Life of the Sounds” and its acting becomes organic instead of purely technical. In this way of acting, the body doesn’t become a part of the voice and the voice a part of the body, but they form a unity, because that unity is the original source of expression. Exploration of the human body through the voice, exploration of the physical aspects of the voice and cultural and individual origins, comprise some of the topics of this special workshop in which participants will work on: the practical exploration of “The Concept of Voice Anthropology”, experimental singing and vocal techniques, on the creation of voice actions experimented collectively that will be performed at the end of workshop.
29 – 30 March 2012 h. 11.00 – 15.00
POOling
Workshop on physical training, on movement, on individual creation
Led by Nhandan Chirco – YANVII (Serbia)
The workshop explores possibilities and resources related to body work, focusing onto the development of individual's creative potential. Beside the physical training, fluid working sessions will be proposed to participants; during this sessions each-one chooses the focus of his/her working process, questioning it individually and finding
in the game among inside / out-side what are the relevant elements to develop the own action / presence. The methodology proposed is based on a re-interpretation of elements of body work developed by Jerzy Grotowski and on principles coming from contemporary dance and Butoh dance.
