The Saturdays of performing art
Open to all
Saturday 10.30 – 12
We offer weekly “slightly educational” group workshops where we use art and music. We turn to young adults with mental and physical disabilities, but also to anyone who wants to acquire artistic and musical skills, to socialize and get involved.
The itineraries foresee a moment of final restitution addressed to the external public through an exhibition / performance.
In 2016 the final performance event, “Tra-mare” – exhibition and performance of art and music – took place outdoors among the ruins of an ancient fortress in Berceto (Parma) as part of the Squinterno Festival.
In 2017 the final performance event, “Sound Landscapes” – exhibition and performance of dance and music – was hosted in the Milanese spaces of Artepassante, and received the contribution of the Municipality of Zone 7.
In 2018 the final performative event, “Umbre de muri” – dance and music with live-painting exhibition and performance – took place at the House of Rights, in Milan.
In 2019 the final performative event, “Music and Art Performing Experience” – exhibition and performance of dance, music and poetic narration – was presented at the Villa Litta Library (Milan, Affori area)..
In 2020 and 2021, performative events were suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In 2020, the loom of the arts has however established a collaboration with the publishing house Il Pulcinoelefante, in the person of Alberto Casiraghi: the publishing house publishes his works using hand printing with movable type using the precious hahnemuhle paper produced in Germany. Annually publishes hundreds of small plaquettes formed by a text (aphorism or short poem) accompanied by small engravings or original drawings made by artists. Plaquettes were therefore created containing drawings-works made by the children who attend artistic Saturdays, inserting an aphorism written by a child.
