The goal of our project was to improve the knowledge and skills of our staff in the field of theater education and audience relations. We sought to adapt and innovate our approaches to theater experiences in response to the restrictions and closures caused by the pandemic, ensuring the safety and well-being of our live audiences. Our goal was to find innovative ways to facilitate in-person participation while training audiences in constraints and new regulations dictated by the pandemic emergency. We wanted to explore new ways to safely experience live theater and develop the educational function of theater.
Our project was carried out in the working context of the cultural association "Bottega No-Made," established in Tempio Pausania in 2015. The association consists of people engaged in cultural, theatrical, literary and artistic activities, with the aim of promoting various forms of culture and creativity, supporting landscape conservation and environmental protection, promoting a culture of peace and supporting international cooperation by promoting human and civil rights. The association offers educational programs and initiatives, including creative experiences such as Props and Bookolica, recognizing the importance of culture as a social value for personal growth and active citizenship, fostering social inclusion and promoting values such as freedom, equality, solidarity and nonviolence.
