Selezionati 22 artisti provenienti da Italia, Brasile, Venezuela, Inghilterra, Israele, Palestina, al via il primo workshop.
Il gruppo selezionato lavorerà dal 18 aprile al 1° maggio con Geraldine Pilgrim, storico direttore artistico della compagnia di teatro visuale “Hesitate and Demonstrate”, attualmente a capo di “Corridor”, compagnia fondata nel 2000 per creare eventi site specific, spesso collaborando con giovani, anziani, gruppi e comunità artistiche del territorio.
Il particolare lavoro on site di Geraldine Pilgrim si specializza, infatti, in progetti e produzioni teatrali site specific di grandi dimensioni e installazioni performative in edifici inusuali, nei quali l’architettura del luogo viene utilizzata come racconto, rivelando, gradualmente, memorie, atmosfere e sottili essenze acquisite nel corso degli anni, integrandole con il presente e immaginandone il futuro.

Claudia Dias» 30 maggio-12 giugnoSelected 22 artists from Italy, Brazil, Venezuela, England, Israel, Palestine, kicks off the first training workshop with Geraldine Pilgrim.
Director/Designer and Installation artist she is also Artistic Director of Corridor, a performance company she set up in 2000 to continue to create site-specific events often working in collaboration with young people, older people and arts and community groups.
Her particular site work specialises in installations and performances in unusual buildings and landscapes where the architecture of the site is used as inspiration and narrative, gradually revealing memories and atmospheres that have built up over the years, together with the history – imagined and real – of the space; like the peeling away of different layers of wall paper to release the ghost of the building’s or landscapes past whilst being aware of its present condition and dreaming of its future.
She trained as a fine artist and theatre designer, co- founded and became Artistic Director of Hesitate and Demonstrate the influential visual theatre company which toured Britain and mainland Europe and has since been making installations, theatre based performances and large scale site-specific events.
