What is M.A.P.?
M.A.P. Moving Action People is a project promoted by Nuovo Teatro Sanità, Teatro di Sardegna, Liminal and Circolando, within the program Erasmus+ KA210 Small-scale partnerships in vocational education and training, that aims to involve and represent groups normally marginalized and excluded from the cultural offer in a european artistic experience.
M.A.P. workshops
4 workshops from october 2022 to march 2023
One of M.A.P.’s actions is the activation of participatory dramaturgy workshops, that will take place simultaneously for a period of 6 months in the 4 cities in which the partners are based. The workshops will involve young operators and cultural professionals to acquire hybridize social and artistic skills in order to generate inclusive community dramaturgies for groups that are marginalized and traditionally excluded by the mainstream cultural offer and dominant narratives. The participants in the workshops will be selected thanks to the place-based declination of the tools developed during the first training of the project.

A project that resulted in a general change of perspectives.
OPEN PRESENTATION: “A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM”
Starting with the concept that disequilibrium is the stage that stimulates action toward achieving balance, NtS’ working group investigated performance anxiety and the general self-judgment and fear of being evaluated negatively by others from which it generates, ultimately staging “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
OPEN PRESENTATION: “WHAT DO YOU DO?”
The six plays written by the participants of the Liminal workshop were finally presented at Choros (Plateia Theatrou, Athens) through a reading of the texts by professional actors followed by an open discussion between the creators, the audience and theater professionals.
