Dear Friends,
few news about the project
  1. The four workshops are over. According to the information I have the two in Smederevo and in Narḍ were the most satisfying both from the organisative point of view and from the participants. The experience in Gallipoli was positive too even if the group worked in a very uncomfortable place (The municipality of Gallipoli and Koreja are responsible for this). The workshop in Pescara counted a limited numbers of local participants. I think the difficulties were due partly to the low level of engagement into the organisation of the workshops from all the partners of the project and partly from the way of selection of the participants (it should have been better if only one group of selection selected all the actors; but this meant a lot of extra costs impossible to be paid by the project). We faced a lot of difficulties with Albanian participants (one of them stayed just for few hours and decided to come back home, others used the visa of the project to leave and meet relatives, others never left). So to sum up, some partner broke the engagement incurred in Lecce during the committee of finding participants for the workshops. The difficulty comes from the fact that it is the first time that all the partners work together, so they look for a common way of working. Personally it is a challenge which engage me, even if it is very stressful. The workshop were useful to let people meet and get to know each other and to implement the meeting of ideas and methods, the conditio sine qua non to build up the network of Adriatic theatres. We asked for reports to the directors and tutors of the workshops and the questionnaires to the participants, so I will have a more detailed idea of the experience. I would like to have also your impression about it.
  2. What about the future? Unfortunately the meeting of the scientific committee on the 21st and 22nd of July is over. There is a situation of impasse in Regione Abruzzo due to the recent election of the new responsible of the culture. The meeting was meant to inform everybody about the next training course of management and marketing we thought to implement in the months September - October 2005 and about the purchase of technical requirements. But we have to wait, I will keep you informed.
  3. I remind you that in July the 20th Koreja will present its performance “Il pasto della tarantola in Budva and on the 22nd in Belgrade at SKC Studentski Kulturni Centar every hour from 19 to 23 o’clock. we would be glad to see you there!
