a. International Seminars
The international seminars, led by a stage manager in each school, every each year,
have the purpose of forming the team work (16 students, 4 students for each school).
The stage manager presents to the school community (1st cycle students) an artistic
work theme, associated methodology and work materials for the next Event (Creative
Residency & Performance Lab); he will start testing and shaping these artistic and
pedagogic materials by engaging in a dialogue with local students, whose language,
cultural heritage and memory will, naturally, impact his work proposal.
A group of local teachers and researchers will observe and register this process in order
to frame/contextualize the work of the stage manager, in the sense of defining and
capture several work topics for reflection, related to the conceptual framework of the
project: Artistic Responsibility.
