Riccardo Fazi, in collaboration with Jessie Mill and Elise Simonet, develops for the first time in Italy the research and sharing format of Les Cliniques Dramaturgiques, conceived by the TransAmériques Festival of Montreal.
Five international dramaturgs are invited to share practices, theories, issues, tools related to their dramaturgical practice. A week-long space-time of shared work during which dramaturgs from different countries, contexts and artistic practices discuss together their current projects, their individual practices and the artistic, theoretical and political scenes within which they are developing. At the center of the whole investigation the role and the functioning of the dramaturg in contemporary artistic creation, in relation to institutions, company practices, teaching in the context of performing arts; the way she or he “accompanies” the artist/student/institution in carving the best made-to-measure context for project and ideas to emerge. Traces of the materials produced during the meetings will be collected, edited and then published: in paper format and in the form of “sound capsules”, short audio podcasts for online platforms.
The research will also open outwards, through a series of “private consultations”.
The invited dramaturgs will, in fact, offer daily their attention, their listening and their presence to a group of local theatre, dance and performing arts artists, in a series of “one by one” meetings dedicated to the care of the creation processes linked to dramaturgy and the writing of unpublished projects.
Invited dramaturgs: Piersandra Di Matteo, Nedjma Hadj Benchelabi, Riccardo Fazi, Sandra Noeth, Elise Simonet
work hours: from the 8 to the 12 of September, every day from 10:30 to 13:30
