Cultivate your creative expression through
body and voice with Danteatro’s Viva Voce Workshops.

Danteatro invites you to join workshops designed to develop your performance and presentation skills, and stimulate your artistic imagination, using voice and movement.

These workshops, conducted by Eleonora Ginardi, will draw on a variety of theatre techniques to access physical and vocal freedom, including Impulse Training, Viewpoints, Nobbs Suzuki Praxis (NSP), Butoh, Meisner, and Practical Aesthetics. The workshops will be played out in a physical and investigative framework while building a spontaneous and intuitive response from participants. 

With a subtle influence of Italian culture and literature, the workshops will be delivered in an inclusive and supportive environment. No understanding of Italian language is needed!

Canto XXIV Purgatorio

E quale, annunziatrice de li albori,
l’aura di maggio movesi e olezza,
tutta impregnata da l’erba e da’ fiori;

tal mi senti’ un vento dar per mezza la fronte,
e ben senti’ mover la piuma,
che fé sentir d’ambrosia l’orezza.

By Dante Alighieri

Soft as the early morning breeze of May,
which heralds dawn, rich with the grass and flowers,
spreading in waves their breathing fragrances.

I felt a breeze strike soft upon my brow:
I felt a wing caress it, I am sure,
I sensed the sweetness of ambrosia

Translated by Robert M. Durling
