The workshop, led by the co-founders of the prestigious Teatro delle Albe company (winner of 14 Ubu Prizes, the Italian “Oscars” for theatre), is designed for university and HS students of Theatre and Italian who are interested in theatre as an approach to the ‘stage’ dimension via the actor\/actress\/ voice and the text ‘incarnated’ in a body-voice. In using excerpts from Ariosto’s and Boiardo’s literary works, the workshop participants will investigate the relationship between the individual and the group on stage.<\/p>\n
