FESTIVAL VISIONI DI FUTURO, VISIONI DI TEATRO 2018

LA BARACCA – TESTONI RAGAZZI, BOLOGNA, 23 february – 4 March 2018

 

Application form

 

Artists meet Early years offers to the artists the chance to meet early years right in the places where children belong to an educational community, crèches and kindergartens, in order to observe them, to become more familiar with them, collecting suggestions and images that  can be useful to the development of a personal artistic research on the youngest ones.

Thanks to Artists meet Early years, 6 young artists (under 35 years old) will have the opportunity to visit some educational services belonging to IES (institution for schools and education of the Municipality of Bologna) dedicated to children 0-3 or 3-6 years old for two consecutive days.

As the last year proposal was very interesting for us, we do it again:

Two days in a row in the same school, where the artists selected will be free to present fragments of a performance, tell a story or lead a workshop, either in a kindergarten or in a crèche.

By meeting the children again in their educational environment the very next day, the artists can live with them a new kind of experience.

Coming back means to be able to understand in a better way the reality of the educational services visited, as well as to build up a direct relationship with children and educators.

Visioni is a festival of theatre and culture dedicated to early years. It is one of the Small size Festivals – the European Network for the Diffusion of Performing Arts for Early Years – where artists and performers from all around the world gather and share their experience.

The artists selected will have the chance to take part to the events of the festival (such as shows, conferences, workshops, meetings…), but also to exchange their experiences with other artists and to work with the target group of early year’s children. “Visioni di futuro, Visioni di teatro…” will take place at Testoni Ragazzi Theatre in Bologna (Italy) from February 23rd to March 4th 2018.

Artists meet Early years will take place from February 26th to March 2nd 2018.

This call is open to 6 artists, also to the last year participants, to whom we will offer accommodation and subsistence for 3 days and facilitations for the festival activities.

If you are interested in this offer, please send us the following information by October 15th :

But if we won’t have enough requests, we reserve the right to delay the deadline.

  • Fill in the form you find together with the call, with the brief presentation of your proposal (Application form).
  • A short CV, focused on your experience in Theatre for Young Audience (previous experience in theatre for early years is not important).

The selection will be made by the evaluation of the call forms.
