Dreamreader

Dreamreader is a parallel world, a past and a future world. But where is the present? From the universe created by Haruki Murakami in Hard-Boiled Wonderland And The End of the World to George Orwell's 1984 the search is for humans and their shadows against a feral landscape.

The school is open to actors, circus performers, dancers, musicians, visual artists and technicians from all disciplines and to all those with a desire to embark on a multi-faceted creative journey. The process is intensive and demands commitment and physical stamina. For 13 days participants will work alongside a team of international artists under the Artistic Direction of Firenza Guidi. The work will culminate in the performance-montage, the internationally renowned performance training method and style of presentation created by Firenza Guidi in 1989. Participants will be supported and encouraged to expand their skills and engage in an exhilarating process fuelled by structured creative impulses. For years, the Italian director has been developing her style of performance, based on an unique physical language, developing circus skills into a fusion of text, sound, music, visual arts and a constant re-defining of the relationship performer-space and performer-spectator, both seen as co-players in the creative process.
All participants are expected to arrive in the morning of 18th August to register at the hostel, refresh and be ready for 4pm Registration and 5pm: Meet and Greet and first session.
