#Workshop
Starting from the exhibition Il disegno di una mostra that presents a selection of works by Lisa Ponti (1922-2019), the participants in the Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe workshop will work in small groups on the realisation of “unidentified objects” that, starting from the scenic dynamics of theatre, are able to move onto multimedia supports, mixing with other forms of visual and performing art.
On the one hand, the workshop will be an opportunity for professionals or aspiring professionals to explore the dynamics of dramaturgical/directorial creation starting from a “subject”, on the other hand to get to know the work of an artist such as Lisa Ponti, and finally to experiment with formal hybridisation and to broaden one’s knowledge by putting oneself to the test within a work team that is heterogeneous in terms of training and skills.
