ABOVE THE SKIN
public space interventions
5 - 9 December 2016, 4 - 7 p. m.
- workshop
- public space interventions
- final production
- and much more ...

Despite the many humanitarian battles of today, we have good reason to believe that we do not really care about each other. We don't care about other people's faces, their scars, the shape of their eyes - we don’t want to show to anyone the way we truly are. We prefer a secure connection, an overprotected one, like the one that we adopt every day - something like a "desire for anonimity". What would be the reaction of people if they met a group of persons with a second layer of skin in public? Would they want to join them?

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
We will not start exclusively from my own ideas, but move together towards your own as well. It will be like revealing the imagination of everyone. I have never searched for virtuosity in a performer, but I have always been attracted by creative performers with a personal dimension; what interests me is that he or she is able to dream and is willing to express his/her concerns. Starting from the consideration that 97% of plays are anachronistic and embarrassing events, we can infer that creating a real theater moment must be quite difficult, so much that almost no one can do it, including myself. But we will work on this issue.

REQUIRED MATERIALS:
- black boots or black shoes
- personal object

MENTORS:
Giuseppe L. Bonifati & Linda Sugataghy / DOO performing arts group

The performing arts group DOO – Divano Occidentale Orientale was created in January 2010. The DOO artistic project began in the south of Italy and in Costa Rica, and was inspired by the profound will to create and produce contemporary art through research work, and offer it to all generations. DOO is a wide-ranging project, a continuous journey of contamination across geographical borders. Since the beginning of our work we have been focusing on a single concern: how to translate onto the stage the unconscious and the unknown.

The workshop is free of charge and open to everyone. Previous experience is not required. The number of participants is limited. Registration is required via e-mail (kibla@kibla.org).
For all those who have never done anything like this before: do not panic, it's time! :)
