Workshop, presentation of work, performance, meeting
Under the artistic direction of Instabili Vaganti
PerformAzioni is taking place in Bologna from 22 March - 8 April, 2011, at LIV Performing Arts Centre. The festival will offer a program of training and theatre education that will inspire a deep exploration of the actor’s craft. Professional performers will have the opportunity to gain different techniques ranging from physical and vocal training, to dance and martial arts, with the purpose of applying traditional and ritual arts elements to the contemporary performing arts.
The theme for this edition is Updating Tradition, a concept that will introduce the performer to traditional and ritual performance elements. The primary focus will be on learning and updating established techniques, and while developing a manner by which the performer can apply these skills in contemporary theatre practice.
All three weeks of workshops, meetings, performances, and presentations of work will be guided by a new generation of masters from the contemporary stage, each widely recognized for their methodology and continued research into performance techniques, as well as physical and vocal training.
The first week of PerformAzioni will open with ‘A collaborative workshop: Vocal Exploration and the process of Composing Material’, led by Jørn Riegels Wimpel and Electa Behrens, members of d-moor produksjoner (Norway/ England). The following week will consist of a workshop in the ancient Indian martial art Kalarippayattu, led by Sankar Lal Sivasankaran Nair and Justyna Rodzińska-Nair, founders of the Studio Kalari at the Grotowski Intitute in Wroclaw (India/Poland). Finally, there will be a workshop on ‘Actor Training and the Creative Process of Physical Actions,’ directed by Instabili Vaganti (Italy).
The festival is organized thanks to the support of LIV Performing Arts Centre, Bologna and in collaboration with the Grotowski Institute of Wroclaw, Poland

PROGRAM
22nd – 26th March 2011
A collaborative workshop: Vocal Exploration
and the process of Composing Material
Led by Voice Pedagogue Electa Behrens and Director Jørn Riegels Wimpel
The workshop is about expanding the range of expressivity you already have, through work that opens your awareness and ability to react instinctively to the moment and to shape that impulse into artistic form in the moment. It will be a combination of group training and individual work, which includes work with both text and song. We will focus on the “transgressive” power of the voice and a work with the archetypes of the hero/heroine, working with paradoxical principles such as flexibility & strength, discipline & mischievousness and exploring new strategies to compose material with both voice and body.
Participants: ideal for actors, dancers, singers, writers, directors and students.
