Plan

What is this school?

“Multimedia and Participatory Arts” is a summer school for artists under 35. In the new edition, Albero Associazione will be invited as guest trainers with the participatory format Community Opera and Agrupación Señor Serrano, winners of the Silver Lion for Innovation at the Venice Theatre Biennale and multimedia experts in the field of multimedia arts. Professional tools will be provided for the creation of artistic works that combine live performances, involvement of local communities and new technologies. In previous editions, the school hosted workshops with Rimini Protokoll (Germany), Time’s Up (Austria), PiNa (Slovenia), Media Art Friesland (Netherlands); and from Italy Zimmerfrei from Bologna, ZONA K from Milan, CSS Teatro Stabile d’Innovazione from Udine and Kepler 452 from Bologna.

How does it develop?

The school will cover the hospitality of the selected participants (lodging and transportation). The remaining expenses are borne by the individuals. The training includes a day of workshops on the participatory practices of the Community Opera (summa of the arts: live storytelling, music and singing) and a three-day masterclass with the Agrupación Señor Serrano. There will also be opportunities for discussion and meeting with the artistic realities linked to the In\Visible Cities festival.
