Residential Workshop

Led by Robert McNeer & Paul MacDonald

from october 14th to 19th 2014

the workshop will begin on october 14th at 4pm and end on october 19th at 1pm

The clown’s nose, “the smallest mask in the world,” is the mask which unmasks. Through the clown, we can discover our inner qualities of openness, spontaneity, and play. The clown helps us fly with our imagination, while holding our feet firmly on the earth. This work regards the theatrical, not the circus clown, and gives great attention to the internal process, helping us towards deep and gentle human communication. This clown has nothing to do with juggling, acrobatics, or comical gags, and is simply a door to our human innocence, happy to play with whatever emerges. We will work with play, with improvisation, and with the empty stage, to find the clown within. That which makes this particular workshop so special and joyous is the mixture of participants, part Italian and part non-Italian, a mixture of cultures, ages and life stories. Communicating with each and all often becomes a desperately comical enterprise, bringing out the clown in each of us. And all this in a natural setting, warm and protected. With Italian food.

This workshop is open to all, with or without previous clown experience.

Una principessa rinchiusa da suo padre nel Castello di Ghiaccio,

un principe soffocato dalla Comodità nel regno di sua madre,

uno Specchio magico nell’alto del cielo, un viaggio avventuroso in fondo al mare …

Lo spettacolo racconta in modo poetico e divertente il viaggio di due giovani alla scoperta del mondo, all’incontro con l’amore e verso la propria indipendenza.

Theatrical show tout public

“Teatri di Terra” is a theater season for the whole family.

For more than 10 years, a rich mix of families, tourists, theater fans young and old, farmers and intellectuals has been meeting yearly at La Luna nel Pozzo for a unique blend of theater, music and food.

The setting for this summer festival is one of rare natural beauty, augmented by the lighting designer’s art. The evening begins with a musical aperitif: while the children play under the trees or play football on the lawn, the adults relax in the fresh evening air, enjoying the sunset or the moonrise.

Then everyone heads for the amphitheater, where young and old can enjoy high-quality theater from Italy and abroad.

Afterwards we return to sit under the trees, where it’s fun to converse with the evening’s artists.

Theatrical show tout public

Pulcinella-puppet sinks its origins in the beginnings of this ancient theatrical art.
With several names it is present in many geographical areas and cultures, in some of these, it is thanks to the Italian puppeteers who export it.

Use the pivetta (an instrument that is placed on the palate of the puppeteer), of sure and very ancient oriental origin.
Interprets short and animated rhythmic scenes with an antagonist; the dialogues, the movements and the games of words, are full of misunderstandings and absurd statements, components, these, which make the show surreal and poetic.

The puppets, cleverly carved in the wood, have a dimension that allows refined and agile movements, simple, their feelings: for this they are universally and immediately understandable in every parallel, regardless of the names, cultures and local traditions.

The puppets of the guarattelle bring with them “a comedy that explodes the carnival and the body in a disruptive way”
(Ugo Vuoso)

Luca Ronga is considered one of the most interesting interpreters of Pulcinella, he has won national and international prizes and awards,
participating in numerous festivals in Israel, Iran, Poland, Germany, France, Spain, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland
