theatrical seismographs
live performance viewing and analysis workshops
by Angela Forti, editor of Theater and Criticism
These are training moments dedicated to female spectators, which aim to stimulate a critical and participatory approach to the theatrical event, as well as to create a free space for sharing views and opinions so that these can materialize into a communicable and sharable reasoning through the heterogeneous tools of today’s criticism.
The workshops include participation in the following phases and activities:
- Viewing performances: the group of participants follows the programming
- Vision and analysis laboratory: meetings that follow the viewing of performances and during which the group discusses the shows they have seen, learns the main tools of art and theater criticism, as well as methodologies for narrating the performance experience;
- Return: the group develops written, audiovisual, sound content with which to return their viewing experience, putting into practice the tools acquired during the workshops.

First meeting:
Thursday, November 3
8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Junior
Course aimed at the third classes of elementary school in Gonars, San Giorgio di Nogaro, Porpetto, Torviscosa, related to the viewing of children’s theater performances on Sunday afternoons. Working with younger viewers, the workshop takes as much as possible the form of a team game in which they can learn about and explore the world of theater. Obviously, as far as the mode of restitution is concerned, an attempt is made to use more elastic and interactive forms, such as posters or audiovisual material.
It will run from November 3 to December 6, 2022
Professors
Dedicated to those involved in education, with a workshop on the critical view of the performance event, accompanied by an in-depth study of teaching techniques used in elementary school courses.

Theater and Criticism LAB

Eccentrics
workshop for kids out of the ordinary
by Agata Garbuio with a talk by PuntoZero cultural project promotion cooperative.
An experience of getting to know new people of different ages and backgrounds, discovering one’s own skills and learning how they can synergize with those of others.
The course provides an opportunity to experience situations and activities in which to bring out and become aware of one’s soft skills. Participants will test themselves through theater games to develop the ability to interact and work with others, problem solving skills, creativity, critical thinking, mindfulness, resilience and discover what goes on behind the scenes of a cultural project. The course will be structured in a didactic part and a project work part in which participants will be involved in festival activities.
A path for personal growth and guidance in the field of culture.
The course is itinerant, the meetings are not always in the same place but take place in the lower Friulian municipalities involved in Epicentrico (San Giorgio di Nogaro, Porpetto, Torviscosa, Castions di Strada, Gonars, Palmanova and Cervignano). Only the first meeting has been defined because it is the group of young people together with the coordinator who decide how to organize themselves. This is also part of the formative process, for the creation of a group capable of making shared decisions.
Course open to all, from 16 to 30 years old.
10 meetings from October to early December
first meeting:
Tuesday, October 4
8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Villa Dora San Giorgio di Nogaro
the universal mask
cross-border neutral mask workshop
The workshop is an experience around the neutral mask, a fundamental pedagogical tool for the actor and an important starting point for theatrical creation. It is an inexpressive mask that, when worn, forces more attention to the body as the main vehicle of communication. It is a silent work, through which the actor opens up and learns to recognize the resistance of his own body and to free himself from his own habits, becoming like a blank page, on which to write each story, whether with a mask or without. It is a work on the human being, before the character, the story or the drama.
In fact, the mask invites the actor to seek a deep, essential truth, a state of pure presence, total availability, readiness and receptivity, in the here and now of space. It leads him to synthesis, precision and organicity of the body, and confronts him with what he wants to express and what is perceived by others, allowing him to work on what is universal. The mask is a way to understand the individual, the self, so as to create an instrument that can play and be heard and experienced universally by the spectator. A theatrical language that can overcome language and cultural barriers.
