ANNOUNCEMENT

This year the Biennale College – Theatre project seeks again to adopt the spirit of a science laboratory: a place of postulation and debate. The Biennale, as a space open permanently to encounter and experimentation, wishes to become established as a valuable opportunity for artists, scholars, spectators, theatre lovers. A factory of ideas that explore the potential of theatre: languages, codes, techniques and technology, the sciences of the stage provide the guidelines for a systematic evaluation, entrusted to masters and experts from around the world.

The Biennale College – Theatre 2013 will offer seventeen workshops.

The programme schedules participants to attend the workshops in the morning and through the early afternoon, the meetings in the late afternoon and the performances in the evenings (with specific discounts, limited places).

For all the workshops that require the submission of a video with no further specifications, it is understood that the video must show the applicants’ work for the theatre.

The deadline for the submission of the applications is June 3^rd.

Workshops for the creation of a short final production based on Shakespearian characters, to be performed before an audience on the last day of the Festival.
