The Cultural Park
Maybe it’s an ambitious goal, but we are working to build a dream!
What is the Cultural Park? A place where art is borne, where art shows itself, testing new languages, creating a sort of syntony with the beauty of the Umbrian nature. Here art is protected and given value. Here artists can express themselves, try, construct, grow, be judged, be exposed and expose in the middle of nature. Here we would like that people could come to breathe the richness and the beauty of the air, of the works that man can create in syntony with earth, trees, animals, An open air exibition in the middle of the woods... together with man made works of art.
Because after all nature, with the magic of a century old tree, of the time eroded rocks..... aren’t these all works of art? Man and nature, a binomial in eternal challenge and threat since the very birth of life on earth. The winner is alternatively one or the other. We are dreaming of mapping out the Equilibrium Path, where the respect from one fosters the growth of the other and vice versa, We want to launch a challenge to the artists to confront themselves with nature. And we want to stimulate those who will visit the Cultural Park to discover the taste of beauty, of nature, of flavours, of colours, of perfumes... of all what can help us to live healthy... the health of mind!
But to realize this dream we need to be surrounded by other dreamers... the artists! We want to meet sculptors, people who can create natural ideas, who are willing to create in our farm their works, regardless of their size, big or small, and to place them together with us on our Equilibrium Path. We would like to give to the still unknown young artists the opportunity to express themselves and show their works in this natural environment, thus giving to our Italian and foreign guests the possibility to discover their art. We would also like that even the already known artists could look at us and leave a sign of their passage on our Path!
We would really like to be able to realize all this, but to do so we need the help of everybody, and, as I said at the beginning, thanks to our numerous dreams!
I did realize many of them up to now. This is the new challenge in front of me.

The Residences
The Residences for Artists are the foundations of the Cultural Park. They represent its soul, its engine!
We want to give hospitality to artists and to offer them the possibility of creating their works in complete freedom, in a relaxed environment, far from the daily stress of big towns. We imagine works that should be in some way linked, inspired, influenced by the Umbrian territory, by its landscapes, air, animals, food, by the people... we want to give the artists the opportunity to be absorbed and inspired by what surrounds them.
Our program offers to the artists a completely independent and fully furnished apartment, with kitchenette, and also a studio-workroom, plus the transport fee to and from Rome, and some pocket money for food. We have also restored an old sheepfold in the woods and transformed it into a Hall for theatre rehearsal, dance, music, yoga, etc. In short we try to offer the ideal situation to allow the artist to be carried by his dreams, by his ideals.

Agri-cultural Festival
A Festival to emphasize the artists’ work and at the same time an event to promote Umbria. Artists can express themselves through music, theatre, sculpture, painting, but also through food, wine, local craftmanship... In short we intend with this Agri-Cultural Festival to give prominence to the artistic beauties of this magnificent region, Umbria. The Festival will take place in four/five separate meetings to be held on Saturdays in June and July 2016.
As we are still in the preparatory phase we welcome all artistic agri-cultural proposals. Whether you wish to be on a concert, or to show your works, or even to offer your local food or your wines... you will always be welcome.
Send us an e-mail to info@internationaltheatre.org and we shall be happy to contact you in order to decide together your participation.

Workshops
LIVE CINEMA E LE TECNOLOGIE DIGITALI APPLICATE ALLO SPETTACOLO DAL VIVO
dal 15 al 18 giugno 2015 - costo a persona 400,00+IVA compreso di corso (24 ore totali), vitto e alloggio (condiviso in appartamenti da 2-4-6 posti).
Info e prenotazioni entro il 30 maggio 2015 a info@internationaltheatre.org
Il Live cinema è una recente arte performativa che concentra tutto il processo produttivo - ripresa, editing, montaggio, proiezione - e lo rende instantaneo. Tale tecnica può quindi essere utilizzata in teatro, in danza o in eventi performativi traducendolo in linguaggio innovativo e accattivante, al servizio di registi, attori e performers. Come tutte le tecniche, può essere un elemento vincente e una scelta azzeccata nella narrazione, così come può essere usato a sproposito inseguendo il "nuovo a tutti i costi". E' una questione di consapevolezza artistica, di drammaturgia multimediale.
Di tutto questo ci occuperemo in questo workshop, imparando le tecnologie necessarie, mettendole in pratica in scena, ragionando sul senso di una scelta estetica così particolare. E cercando le connessioni con l'opera di Chaplin, lavorando assieme a lui, riportandolo sulla scena o entrando noi stessi nei suoi storici film. E quando diciamo "entrando nei suoi film", diciamo davvero… fino a crearne di nuovi.
Il programma
- Live cinema techniques: tutto il processo filmico di produzione in tempo reale, Softwares e tecnologie per il livecinema
- Elementi di videomapping su scenografie; tulle e superfici di proiezione per il teatro.
- Elementi di motion tracking per la scena teatrale.
- Drammaturgia multimediale: siamo sicuri che quel marchingegno si adatti al racconto?
- Bombetta e bastone: elementi di Physical Theatre.
- Laboratorio di creazione e improvvisazione a partire da scene dei film di Chaplin
Il docente

Places for creations
In our Agri-Cultural structure artists can find their creative space anywhere. We can namely mention a 12 by 6 meters Hall that we have recently obtained by restoring an old sheepfold in the woods. Wooden floor and ceiling beams, well lighetd, video-projector on demand, toilet. This Hall is particularly suited for theatre rehearsing, dance, music, yoga, shiatsu, etc.
Another possibility is given by the old stable, where each box (5 x 3.50 meters) can be used by artists for minor sculpture or painting works.
Last but not least there is the wood, a wonderful creation site. Incredibly charming spots can be found when penetrating into the wood’s paths, where one can stop to enjoy the freshness of the air, and write, think, sing, ....or dream! Or even sculpting directly on the travertine rocks!
