“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,…”
As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII [William Shakespeare]
Algorithm project by Annelisa Zaccheria + Franco Visioli. “Algorithm is a word that many associate with computer science and mathematics. But much of our daily life can be compared to an algorithm. How to prepare the pot to make the coffee or even the sequence of actions to do the laundry, the instructions to assemble a piece of furniture, road maps, or even a recipe.
The word algorithm is a starting point from which to reflect upon our daily habits and our approach to things. Can we deconstruct them?
During the workshop we will draw inspiration from the various thoughts about the algorithm to experiment with new identities, with different relations and the possibility of perceiving, interpreting and experiencing a physical space or soundscape, time, stories and community.
The current edition of the Biennale College – Theatre will include an introductory session with the Director Antonio Latella, attendance at the stage readings from the call for Authors under-40, and a significant number of sessions dedicated to working with the chosen Masters, with the purpose of offering each participant the possibility of taking part in an authentic creative process, on the one hand, and on the other, to enhance the educational value of each workshop, a place of both ideation and higher education.”
Venice, 22 July – 5 August 2019 > Act III: DRAMATURGIES > Title: RECIPE
The Biennale College – Theatre project, an integral part of the artistic project for the year 2019, consistent with the spirit of its recent editions, stands as a place of inquiry and dialogue, a space permanently open to discussion and to experimentation, in a process that involves scholars, spectators and theatre lovers.
Masters: Monica Capuani, Susie Dee, Michele Di Stefano, Julian Hetzel, Thom Luz, Annelisa Zaccheria - Franco Visioli .
“DRAMATURGIES is a title that forces us from the very beginning to speak of the grammar of theatre and to try and understand where the boundaries have shifted in the matter of playwriting or staging. Looking for a similarity, we might perhaps compare cooking dramaturgies to recipes, using the plural to underline the vastness and the different nature of the ways dramaturgical material is presented today…We invite this year's Masters to develop a RECIPE, any one at all, working with the actors and their collaborators to metaphorically construct the dish to serve to the audience, the Biennale College starter dish.”Antonio Latella, director of the theatre department.
