Este, Padova, Italy

Our third week began in Este Padova at Teatro Dei Filodrammatici. We had two sessions with Associazione Carpe Diem, Lahire’s theatre groups.

It was our first time ever on stage what made me really happy. I guess the space inspired us to work with profound focus, there was a beautiful  vibe.

We made 20 dolls. I finished some of them at home late.

I am so grateful for the magical experience we had together, thank you!

Susegana, Italy

We met again with our first kid’s group at Progetto Teatro X Tutti in Susegana.

They made a composition with their dolls, made in the previous week, and reproduced it with their own bodies. After that they drew their composition and wrote some comments about their experience.

It was a bit challenging at the beginning but they found their way to collaborate and create together.

Campolongo, Conegliano, Italy

Next day we travelled to Campolongo Conegliano with Simone who runs Armadio delle Storie a Colori. We worked with adults that present learning difficulties.

It was an easy and inspiring experience with five brilliant volunteers who were there helping us. Thank you so much Simone for the invitation.

Susegana, Veneto, Italy

We began our Italy’s tour in Susegana with two opening sessions at Progetto Teatro X Tutti. Next day we returned for two more sessions.

Grazie mile for all makers – kids, teens and adults – and a huge thank you for Margherita and Michele for inviting us to work with their groups, it was great!
