Carta bianca
An evening with Marco Cavicchioli to write NOA's theatre together
Usually the programme is decided by the organisers and then published, and those who are interested sign up.
We want to do the opposite. Marco Cavicchioli arrives with a blank sheet (carta bianca) and we write the programme together, on the evening of 5 November, with the people who want to take part.
What theatre do you want to make?
Everyone arrives with a different idea: some want to read, some to get on stage, some simply to try. We discuss it together, starting from a few possibilities:
A reading-aloud circle
Work on text
A show to build and stage
Training for voice, body and stage presence
Improvisation
Something else, if you have an idea that is not listed here
Three principles
Drop-in attendance
You take part when you can, with no obligation to attend and no fear of arriving late.
Affordable fees
Small packs or a monthly subscription, so that theatre is not a luxury.
Experiences that help you grow
Not a course, but a series of experiences for making theatre and discovering it by practising it.
Who it is for
For those who have practised theatre for years and for those who have never met it; for those who want to return to the stage and for those who want to find out if it is for them. No experience is required, curiosity is enough.
The live performance
During the evening, Marco Cavicchioli and Guglielmo Pagnozzi perform live an excerpt from Mexico City Blues by Jack Kerouac: the collection of 242 "choruses" that Kerouac wrote as a jazz musician writes a solo, published in 1959. Voice and music, side by side.
A way of bringing attention back to theatre before the discussion even begins.
