🏢 About the local organisation
Join us for promoting the short play format, encouraging a discussion on dramaturgy, and enhancing the immediacy of contemporary art languages. IterCulture art Lunarcamp ESCinTeamSince its first edition in 2009, the festival, Teatri Riflessi, has been promoting the short play format, encouraging a discussion on dramaturgy, and enhancing the immediacy of contemporary art languages. The project also stimulates a reflection on the landscape, connecting the stage to the representation of the artistic, cultural, and social territory in unconventional spaces. With a combination of culture and entertainment, the festival wants to mesmerize a heterogeneous audience, especially those who do not usually go to the theater. Teatri Riflessi is meant to lift the curtain on the flowering of artistic urges, promoting the exchange of ideas, practices, and models and offering professional and emerging artists an unusual stage to connect tradition and innovation. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: Reduce inequality -SDG10.IterCulture is a non-profit organization that offers services in the organization, promotion and management of cultural projects and performances. IterCulture was founded in 2009, aiming at managing its main project, Teatri Riflessi. At its 7th edition, Teatri Riflessi International Short play Festival is a competition for professional and emerging artists and companies. Artists are asked to submit a short play, no matter the genre: drama, ptry, or dance.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will be asked to help support the organization and unfolding of the festival. Members of the workcamp are asked to work around 6 hours a day during the first week to get to know the event and plan in detail with IterCulture the organization and setting up of the short play competition and the pop-up market. The second week will require up to 8 hours of work a day, from 11 to 16 July to allow the setting up of the area and the realization of some activities linked with the event (roundtables, laboratories, exhibitions), and the welcoming of artists and the audience.
