This workshop explores and reworks the techniques of street theater and puppetry as means to create a collective, nomadic, accessible and universally readable shows. It serves as a means to occupy and reappropriate public spaces, both indoors and outdoors, using storytelling and music as practices to connect people and create accessible, horizonal moments of sharing and listening. During the workshop days, we will collectively create our story, draw and build our characters, give them a voice and perform with them, investigating and learning how to build a group live show, resetting authorship to make a space for a collective art making idea. We will use recycled materials, simple games and techniques, sharing our skills and having fun :P

Guest last day: Reptilian Expo
Reptilian Epxo is the moniker of Riccardo Patrone, head of the multiform fantasy tape label Pampsychia and experienced dancefloor shapeshifter. Multifaceted selector and producer, he draws both from fast-paced, rhythm-laden grooves and more bouncy, off-kilter weirdo beats to recast dance subcultures into sonic unfamiliar environments with a unique approach. Swampy fifth world, sunytty freestyle and dancefloor crawling moves make Reptilian Expo the perfect DJ for unusual party moves and mystic immersive K-majic soundscapes.
