QuiXote_ a little larger than the entire universe

The school, which takes its inspiration from the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, 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 15 days participants will work with an international team of experienced creative 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 of structured creative collaboration. For years, the Italian director has been developing her style of performance, based on an unique physical language, developing circus skills, 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 16th August to register at the hostel, refresh and be ready for 4pm Registration and 5pm: Meet and Greet and first session.
