HUMUS COMUNITY ARTS

The Humus workshops are dedicated to those following professional training, but are also open to the area of the Navile district of Bologna. In addition to integrating fundamental subjects for performance art, not covered in daily training, the cycle of workshops is an opportunity to meet people with different backgrounds, resident in the area. The difference is the value that underlies the curation of this action.

The memory of a place - COOKING

Teachers: Paola Berselli, Stefano Pasquini [ Teatro delle Ariette]

There is a mysterious bond between us and our places. We think of things and places as beings
inanimate, yet we maintain solid and profound relationships with them, both of a material and physical nature affective and sentimental. Our places influence our lives, or rather our places are there our life. And we dialogue with them, trying to modify them, questioning them, reflecting ourselves in them in search of our identity. In places we look for traces of our path, irrefutable proof of our existence and of the existence of our fellow men, of fathers, mothers, sisters, children, friends, of beings who no longer exist or which are far away. In this laboratory we try to dig into this matter, passing through our own personal experience, following an autobiographical path, sticking to what we have
seen, lived, felt, experienced. We follow the same process we practice when coping feelings and thoughts. Talking about ourselves, bringing our life to the stage makes us discover what it is like to everyone's life, it helps us overcome anxieties, fears and fears that arise from loneliness and isolation.
The meetings are based on comparison, exchange and sharing of physical and sensorial experiences and direct intellectuals of all participants. We talk, we act, we listen and talk, we cook a participatory collective learning process.

VOICE [ singing and talking ]

Teachers: Lichteberg Teachers

The Lichtenberg Institute uses versatile and practice-oriented measurement methods that are particularly beneficial for the use of voice. This is not about carrying out an investigation with a preconceived thesis about the sound of a voice, but rather about understanding the voice without prejudice as an organic function and carefully analyzing its sound and vibrations.

This seminar is designed for both individuals who are already familiar with the Lichtenberger method and those who will be encountering it for the first time. It is open to professionals from various backgrounds such as singing, playing instruments, speaking voice, movement, therapy, and pedagogy, as well as interested amateurs. During the seminar, we will cover a range of topics including one-to-one lessons, observation in small groups, practical application of body techniques in relation to sound, sensory perception awareness, and the theoretical and practical aspects of anatomy, physiology, acoustics, and pedagogy.

Design of a participatory public work [public art]

Docente: Alessandra Marolla

Leaving a trace, temporary or permanent, requires asking questions and looking for actions, intentions, possibilities that intertwine vision and imagination, the responsibility of each and everyone, until finding a collective, common gesture. A participatory public work of art is the sum of the views and reflections of the small society that is created around it, even before its actual creation. We will investigate the place, the internal and external space we inhabit, our attitudes and our need to communicate through our means, in favor of a dialogue with and for the community. The research space will be our body, our personal history which will intertwine with that of the place of relationship in which we will act. We will compare hypotheses, images, actions, needs and desires until we find the possibility of working together towards a single, common body: the completion of the work, performance, sound or possible idea.

Meet me

Teachers: Claudia Dias

This is a training workshop in the area of Improvisation and Composition that uses the Real Time Composition Technique (CTR) as a tool and theoretical-practical approach.
CTR is a technique born in the field of contemporary dance which, going beyond the boundaries of the performing arts, has become a research method on how to meet. The purpose of its use is always the collective and the other. In this sense, despite being applied in an artistic, i.e. aesthetic, context, its use is ethical. It aims to help make assertive decisions, that is, decisions suited to the context, in the sense of the survival of collective action.
Applied in the artistic field, CTR is still today a working tool to face the unknown, what will come, since in this practice there is no predefined script. In this sense it can be understood as an improvisation technique, although it goes far beyond this categorisation. This technique is fixed by a system of thought and an operating mode made up of a set of tools. The operational mode, i.e. its practice, is structured by a spatial, temporal and functional framework and is supported by the guidance of principles.
