Extracurricular school workshops on theater, dramaturgy, and acting, and curricular school workshops on creation with the aim of fostering active citizenship processes.

from January 2022 to May 2024
@ ITC and PACLE Elsa Morante in Limbiate
@ Gaetana Agnesi State Teachers’ Institute in Milan

Laboratory meetings in which the Guinea Pigs artists explore the project’s main themes with a group of adolescents identified within the school workshops. This offers both a training experience focused on live performing arts (writing, acting, directing, video composition, sound composition, scenography composition, etc.) and an artistic creation experience to delve into the relationship between self-perception, identity, and granted or denied rights.

from September 14th to 18th, 2022
@ Centro Studio Attori in Milan

May and September 2024
@ To be determined

A series of performance in which a group of teenage performers interview customers and passersby in urban locations (parks, stations, markets), then develop on-site interviews into a choral and narrative theatrical form to highlight common, more or less accurate and/or in-depth perceptions regarding citizenship rights.

Theoretical-practical meetings to write short original scenes that will be presented to the public during a final convivial sharing. The workshop has two main objectives: involve new generation teenagers in ideating and writing original stories that represent their identity, generational, and cultural conflicts, and thus give voice to the desires, fears, ambitions, and emotions of future Italian citizens; tell Italy from a different perspective, beyond stereotypes and dominant beliefs; offer a free course that enhances the personal, linguistic, creative, and emotional skills of those involved.

from March to May 2023
@ Scamamù – Books, games, and space

Creation of a podcast that tells the stories of the next Italian citizens. Each episode will narrate the story of a girl and a boy from the new generation, of non-Italian origin, born and/or raised in Italy, encountered during the journey, and an aspect of the debate on citizenship rights and the political, social, economic issues surrounding this legal acquisition. The format will be storytelling accompanied by interviews with individuals with migration backgrounds active in public debate and in creating new narratives to decolonize theories, thoughts, bodies, voices.

Creation of a theatre performance featuring professional performers and teenage performers. The dramaturgy will be conceived and realized together with a group of adolescents: it will give voice to the protagonists of this transformation, their peers, and the adults they look up to. The stage device will see the performers acting out fictional situations, then stepping out of these narratives and directly engaging the audience, to delve into the raised themes or express their own viewpoints, even in contradiction with the characters’ actions.
