Here is open call for everyone who wishes to take part in “Made in Cardboardia” workshop programme 16-24 June in the framework of the XXIV International Festival of Street Theatres in Arkhangelsk (Russia).
From 16 June we will developing Official Cardboardia Orchestra show to present together on the International Festival of Street Theatres that will be held this year in Arkhangelsk from 19 to 23 June. The festival opens with a carnival procession along the Northern Dvina. Each day the city will turn into one big open-air scene. Illusionists, swindlers, magicians, clowns will coexist with musicians from Spain, drummers from Colombia and street theaters.
Personages of Cardboardia are preparing the tour of Official Cardboardia Orchestra which was founded at the "Festival of Imagineers" (Coventry, UK) last year. The improvised Official Orchestra of Cardboardia caused a storm of emotions, because the performers tried to make a high classical work of art, and at the same time did not have any opportunities for this. An action that can unite people to create something together is the ultimate aim of personages of Cardboardia. This creative process is the core of our workshop, which is hold in two directions:
Module 1. Performance Design
Module curator: Olesya Kandalintseva (Minister of Education)
we will research some basic skills of working with cardboard, developing the concept of objects and set design.
Module 2. Street performance, organization and communication with public for beginners
Module curator: Sergey Korsakov (Tyran of Cardboardia)
Together we will learn how to plan an event and create an event scenario based on a proposed concept. We will acquire public speaking skills and develop way of communication with an audience.
