BIO
TheAlbero is an Artistic Collective started by Uri Noy Meir * and Ilaria Olimpico *.

TheAlbero believes in Art as tool for creative expression, active participation, bringing consciousness and personal and social transformation; it promotes imagination as a fundamental element to be able to inspire paradigmatic change and open doors to other possible worlds.

TheAlbero organizes workshops for children, young people and adults, training for social workers and educators, interactive performances and international events.

TheAlbero uses a varied methodology aimed at encouraging the different attitudes of expression and learning of everybody, it integrates Theatre of the Oppressed, Narrative Circle, Storytelling and Participatory Photography.

The approach of TheAlbero is: maieutic (the facilitation is a dialogue, an open and welcoming process), intercultural (interculture is meant as a sociocultural attitude-practice and a sociopedagogic approach that is open to the otherness, promotes plurality of visions, and values diversity) gender (gender education means to question about gender stereotypes and patriarchal society).

* Uri, a creative processes facilitator, has led transformative workshops and trainings for activists, educators, social workers and artists around the world. Uri has trained with renowned Theater of the Oppressed (TO) practitioners and in his practice he explores the borders and meeting points of TO with other approaches and methodologies. Recently he is exploring the connections among TO, consensus decision making and Dragon Dreaming.

* Ilaria is trainer, educator and facilitator of workshops of social theater. In her work, she deals with issues about interculture, gender and sustainability/post-developpment, searching connections among them. She integrates her accademic formation in International and Diplomatic Sciences (specialization in Islamic studies), her training and practice of theatre, her interest in nonviolent management of conflict and her talent as storyteller/writer (published short stories on the website orientexpress.na.it and on thealbero.wordpress.com blog). She facilitates workshops for adults, teenagers and children.

It’s getting hot in here So take off all your clothes? From Climate Change to Collective Consciousness...


Deadline:
Wed Aug 05, 2015 14:15

Location:
La Garrotxa , Spain

How can we connect with the eco system and questions around us, not only using the mind, but also our body, heart and soul? How can co-creative action and theatre create a shift in the “field of possibility” and engage the imagination? How can bring to the front of the collective consciousness the new movement of change?

A co-creative aRtivist residency and vacation in Mas Franch eco-community, Catalonia, towards creative action. In the 5 days we will explore Co-creative processes, Newspaper theater, Embodied poetry, spontaneity, site specific theatre, and creative actions and Rituals in public spaces as tools for social transformation.

The residency is part of the artistic collective TheAlbero’s trip “In the Name of the Mother”, exploring with theatre and aesthetics the connection to Mother Earth, between the real and the ideal. After the intense experiences of the first part of trip and the co-creative event, TFT Learning Village, we decided to dedicate the residency towards the processing of collected ideas and material towards co-creative aRtivist actions towards and within the COP21 in Paris.

We arrive to Mas Franch on the 5th of August and leave on the 9th, in these days we would connect to the source and examine the “field” to design and test co-creative spontaneous actions in public space. The action day would likely be on the 7th or 8th of August in the city...

We would also dedicate time to connect, enjoy and be inspired by the beautiful nature (and the amazing natural pool) of Mas franch eco-community and other places we might visit.
It is not necessary to have prior knowledge in theatre, activism or social theatre or even to commit in joining us in Paris in December.

Please if you have more questions contact us.
We offer this program as free gift (through the solidarity and support of many) and we just ask you to cover the costs of your lodging and accommodation in Mas Franch eco-community.

You of course could if you wish also offer a free gift to the In the Name of the Mother project and emerging co-creative action in Paris.
