Curated by Lucia Esposito (Roma Tre University), with Jared McNeill and Manuele Morgese
The workshop is part of a creative journey that will culminate in the debut of Hamlet, directed by Jared McNeill and featuring Manuele Morgese (Teatrozeta L’Aquila).
The workshop focuses on aligning the mind, body, and voice with the creative act of storytelling. What makes a word sing? What causes a glance or a gesture to resonate? By playing with Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we may discover that it is not about adding, but rather subtracting, to rediscover what has always been within our embodied imagination since childhood. This involves seeing body and word as one, eliminating the gap between impulse and action. Actions are driven by words, and words are sounds designed to convey meanings that already reside within the storyteller.
The workshop is built around the space and rhythm of words and actions: listening as a practice of keeping something alive, of understanding when a word ‘in action’ must and can change, and when it must instead die, only to live again and evoke emotion anew.
In collaboration with the PhD Programme in Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures of Roma Tre University, with the participation of Amalia Lavinia Rizzo and the Department of Education Sciences.
