(FULL)

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.

SUPERMAN & ME with Robert McNeer Original English version!

‘The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there.’
Tonight we travel to the streamlined, chrome-covered America of 1963, where Bobby is ready to take flight. The only problem is, nobody is cooperating. Sit back, enjoy a hamburger and golden delicious french fries, as Bobby struggles to make his superpowers visible…

American 60s in the air
at the table with Italian style hamburgher and French fries and more!

We follow the story of the teacher Luminita who in Italy becomes a day nurse against her will, of her husband in Rumania taking care of their children, of her elderly charge resenting her presence, and especially of Culin, orphan with a living mother, raised on the telephone between goodnight prayers and promises of return.

Residential Workshop

led by Robert McNeer & Rodrigo Morganti

the workshop will begin on April 30 at 16 pm and end on May  5 at 14 pm

Send in the clowns! Continuing our long-standing love affair with the red nose, we offer the INTERCULTURAL CLOWN WORKSHOPS, where clowns with and without experience from all over the world meet and meet again, to play, to dance, to laugh and cry and sing and eat improbable amounts of Italian food under the olive trees of La Luna nel Pozzo.

No gags, no juggling, no slapstick, but a chance to relive the innocence of the child, to find the place where the world is new, and the ordinary is miraculous. A gently-guided rhythm of improvisation and reflection helps you to rediscover your sense of spontaneity, of play, of silly fun and deep, gentle communion with other earthlings.

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