A GELA, LABORATORIO PERMANENTE DELL'ATTORE 
Registration is now open to take part in studies for the year 2009 of the Permanent Workshop of the actor. The laboratory is designed and organized by the cultural and theatrical ICARUS GROUP of Catania, and is the first of a series of dramatic initiatives that will be presented in coming months in the territory of Gela ICARUS Group. The laboratory was established with the intention of creating the impetus to start a process of re-cognition in relation to a profession and passion. Sarà uno spazio dedicato alla formazione e all'informazione sul mestiere dell'attore. Nel corso delle lezioni si parlerà di tecniche e metodi recitativi ma particolare attenzione sarà prestata allo sviluppo di tematiche legate all'etica dell'attore e al rapporto tra attore e società moderna. Questo laboratorio vuol far vedere ai giovani allievi anche l'altra faccia dell'attore, il suo impegno e la funzione sociale che potrebbe e dovrebbe avere, portavoce di messaggi importanti per il solo fatto di essere soggetto-oggetto di comunicazione privilegiata (sopra un palco e con una platea a disposizione). In una società che attraversa troppo velocemente grandi cambiamenti, che tende a banalizzare, globalizzare, sintetizzare, semplificare...vittima del tempo produttivo e del successo ad ogni costo, recuperare anche i significati più alti di questo mestiere, quelli legati alla passione civile, alla passione per il contatto con la gente e consapevolezza di un ruolo, può solo far del bene alle generazioni che volendosi avvicinare a questo mestiere rimangono il più delle volte abbagliate dalle immagini incomplete e vuote provenienti dai media. Il laboratorio permanente dell'attore avrà inizio nel mese di marzo e proseguirà per tutto l'anno con interruzione nei mesi estivi. Potranno partecipare giovani di età compresa tra i 16 e i 30 anni, previo colloquio con i docenti. Gli interessati non dovranno necessariamente avere precedenti esperienze professionali ma attitudine e volontà di studio currencies that are in the interview. There is no maximum number of accessions, which is why the organizers reserve the possibility of forming more than one class of participants. For the first phase will be two appointments per week. Each meeting will last at least three hours. Curators of the workshop will be Anthony Caruso (actor, writer, director with over twenty years of experience in acting) and Donatella Maru (actress, and expert education play).

start with. Were sent out press releases ... soon the printing material. Gela We chose to give life to the claimant permanent laboratory for several reasons. The first affection that binds us to the city (Kathleen, my wife and I Gela I breathed through her and her family a sense true, beautiful and positive belonging to the city. I speak of belonging without hysteria and radicalism. Membership, bond. As what often holds together the Sicilians to their land. Second reason: the need for cultural and artistic activities that this city - whose name circulates outside Sicily often for situations not exactly uplifting - was in her womb. Immediately evident the enormous artistic, cultural and archaeological heritage that the city owns. At this heritage often was not put together a real cultural movement - and theater in particular. Like many other cities, Gela suffering as well as internal problems including the proximity to great centers of Sicily and this attention has shifted elsewhere that could be geographically concentrated. Third reason: it is a gamble. It would in some ways easier to organize such a situation in Catania - for years I did and still do - but we have jointly decided to bet its the difficulties that such an event in such a city can give. We are an association created to combine the professional theater and acting with social commitment. Although the reasons for organizing the workshop are born from the marriage between the profession and its relationship with society. During the lessons you do not speak only of techniques and methods but also the value of a profession, ethics, principles and requirements for our modern society to have a professional of some kind. Of course, this discussion can lead us out of the theater and be valid for any kind of profession. Embee? Better that way. The theater people can not afford to live in their closed without magic bubble groped to establish contact with the reality that they live every day (and stopped to observe it with detachment from the stage). Otherwise they would not have done theater. What do you say?
