Wednesday 2nd of October, 6pm at ICI London
Bamboozle Theatre and Arte Vox present the project
Sensory, immersive, accessible theatre in the landscape
Supported by the Ministry of Culture and the IIC London
Presentation of “For an immersive, sensory and accessible theatre in the landscape”, the creative research project in the field of accessible theatre aimed at young people on the autism spectrum, the only one of its kind in Italy. The comparison with international realities (in particular the Bamboozle Theatre company of Leicester, UK, with its decades of experience in the field) is a great inspiration and a precious opportunity to develop skills in the artistic, productive and organizational fields that are currently not present in Italy in the theatre for the new generations: the interested companies will have the opportunity to present the creative process and the work done so far and confront themselves with an audience of curious, operators, teachers, educators on the path taken so far. A short video of the final performance will be presented to a neurodivergent audience at the end of the July residency in Leicester (UK) will be presented.
Further development of the previous project VERSO UN TEATRO RAGAZZI ACCESSIBILE, realized with the contribute of Minitry of Culture as Special Project of FNSV in 2022 , this new project candidate on this new project candidate on the Boarding Pass Plus call is a development and deepening of that path that allows you to value and make use of the training experience gained in the field, as well as the excellent international relationships created with foreign partners, with a view to co-creation and production of a highly innovative performance.
The language of the sensory and immersive theatre, the Bamboozle Aproach and all the methodologies gained in the training are put to a good use with a path of artistic research led by Bamboozle Theatre that will bring a production company (ArteVOX Teatro – Vimercate MB), a residency and production centre (Campsirago Residenza – Colle Brianza LC) and a Production Centre for children and young people (Pandemonium Teatro – Bergamo) to collaborate to produce a new performance where the traditional way of doing theatre is overturned to obtain an innovative cultural product that links theatre in nature and theatre accessible to autistic boys and girls.
The project was developed starting in May 2024 with a first residency in Italy, in Campsirago, of the three Italian companies and the two founders and artistic directors of Bamboozle Theatre Company, 7 days of work in the woods and mountains to explore the potential of theatre in the landscape, on which Campsirago Residenza and in particular the director Michele Losi has developed innovative skills also in the international arena. Later on the 4 companies met again in Leicester in July 2024, for a week of work in nature with the public of families with neurodivergent boys and girls. The work took shape here, to the point of proposing a first path on the track on which we will continue to work.
