Cardboardia Embassy in Riga

2014-07-02 | events, announcement, workshops

In the early beginning of 2014 the Tyran of Cardboardia approved a road map for expanding the country's international relations over the next 5 years. The first step to be taken is to open the european embassy of Cardboardia in Riga, Latvia.

As the Tyran's administration representatives assure, embassy's major function would be to facilitate meetings at the summit, holding Cardboardia's national celebrations, and promote materializations of Cardboard Towns across the EU countries.

A number of cultural events are to be held each year. The projects will be carried out by the general contractor of the Tyran's administration, "Made in Cardboardia" creative studio that will open a workshop as a part of the embassy.

Cardboardia's personages are determined to strengthen cultural ties with the countires of the Baltic region, with focus on Latvia.

Tyran is personally directing the opening of the embassy and will thus be making an extended visit to Riga. We will be delighted to welcome the press and everyone else interested in establishing contact to the embassy between Jul 20th and 26th.

Thank you for reaching us at +7 916 650 7360 and making an appointment beforehand.

A special event

CardboardiaвЂ™s Street Performance Lab in the Netherlands

2014-07-12 | events, announcement, festivals, workshops

AUG 26th - AUG 31st 2014, 12pm to 7pm

Cardboardia’s Intensive Street Performance Lab

@ Spoffin Festival in Amersfoort, Netherlands

Venue for workshop: Kunsthal KAdE, Smallepad 3

Personages of Cardboardia are happy to welcome anyone who wishes to create big, perform loud and parade the streets of Amersfoort!

If you want to learn creating with cardboard or get better at what you already know; if you are looking for a powerful experience, for being a part of a large creative project and making new friends - join us at the Lab!

The Lab has two major Modules:

Module 1 - Designing costumes and objects for interactive performances

Module 2 - Street performance and communication with the public for beginners

Throughout the several days of our intensive Lab we will create a large-scale interactive space and prepare a city parade of cardboard awesomeness.

In Module 1, designers will learn basic and advanced techniques of creating costumes, decorations and objects from cardboard. The program could be particularly interesting for artists and architects, school teachers and designers.

Those who take part in Module 2 will go through the entire cycle of preparing a city event - adapting the concept to the location, preparation and management. The module is curated by a brilliant street theater director, so we especially welcome stilt walkers and other performing artists to take part. You will learn the basics of interaction with the audiences, exchange stilt walking and performing experience and get to improvise in a new eclectic team.

The Lab will end in a series of performances throughout 28-31 of August.

Curators of the Street Performance Lab are:

Spyros Andreopoulus (actor, director, stilt performer, founder of Motus Terrae Theatre Company) and Olesya Kandalintseva (artist, designer, workshop curator at Made in Cardboardia).

Participation in the Lab is free, yet the number of participants is limited. Groups will be formed following the results of online interviews.

Lab participants will need to take care of their daily expenses and costs of travel and stay in Amersfoort (Netherlands).

In order to take part in the Lab you need to fill out the application form, complete a test piece and receive the confirmation from the curator.

Cardboardia Mobile Embassy: Come and meet your ideal world in Slough

From 26 to 29 June we will setup Mobile Cardboardia Embassy in Slough to present culture of Cardboardia on 30 June for the Streets Alive 2018 Festival.

Imagine if you could build your ideal world. What would you make? What would it look like? What characters and people would you see? Who would you be? And where would you be?

Cardboardia is a country without territory, but with own traditions, rules, economic and political systems. Personages (citizens) of Cardboardia materialised thier country around the globe. We build towns, setup Embassys and celebrate national hollidays on territory's of friendly countries - Russia, Latvia, Poland, Taiwan, Germany, Finland, Slovenia, Denmark, Netherlands, Hungary and UK.

On opening a Mobile Cardboardia Embassy in the centre of Slough we are planning a premiere of the Official Cardboardia Orchestra - with wonderful imaginative instruments from across the world. Help create a carnival of cardboard creations. The Tyran of Cardboardia will oversee events and lead a procession of people through the town to create a carnival atmosphere on 30 June between 12am – 4pm

Whether you’re an artist, a builder, a performer or a policeman, we’d like to invite you to join us on Slough’s High Street to meet and join the Citizens or Personages of Cardboardia!
