L'Aria

L'Aria is organizing a writing workshop on the theme of polyphonic writing, listening to the world as a tool for dramaturgical creation, directed by Marcus Borja.

We will work on a "synesthetic" writing gesture directly linked to an increasingly attentive listening to the world and the other, in order to produce texts (whatever their format) in direct articulation with the moment, the space and the relationship with the other. To achieve this, we use improvisation and a protocol of exercises and techniques that encourage listening and responsiveness to the present moment, so as to capture it in a living, organic form of writing. Whatever the format or writing project of each participant, our aim is to make it as concrete and authentic as possible, starting from the spontaneous narratives of bodies (and voices) in space.

- Pedagogical objectives -
To develop in each and every one of us a keen sense of what immediate experience of the world and of others - without judging or prioritizing impulses, information and the paths of chance - can provide as raw material for writing that aims to be "dramatic" or, at the very least, lively in its inventiveness. The specificity of this module, compared to the previous one, is that we will go a little further in exploring forms (with an emphasis on the dialogic/dramatic form) and that we will question new raw materials as "triggers" for writing; always making music, image and movement interact as the basis of an organic writing in phase with the world it is trying to translate.

- Methodology -
- Theoretical and practical work based on listening and on protocols for immediately transposing the experience of the present into the writing gesture. - Practical exercises to stimulate reactivity and kinaesthetic response to the moment and to instinct - Written formatting of immediate experience > critical reflection and constant "reworking" of proposed gestures from one day to the next. - Analysis of classic and contemporary texts by authors focusing on formal and "musical" aspects that will enable us to nourish and question the act of writing well beyond the "subject" alone: layout, syntactic structure, punctuation, rhythm,

A restitution of this work will take place at the end of the day on November 02.
