ITALY
Meeting of the project at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples
MEETING IN NAPLES
17 - 18 June 2024
What did it mean for us to experience the art of connection? and what did it mean for the participants? How can we make project practices increasingly accessible and shareable? What are the next steps?
These are some of the questions we discussed at the meeting in Naples: enthusiastic about the training carried out in the various countries involved, curious to grow and implement, energetic towards the next stages of the project.
Meeting in person and discussing paths always helps to grow and give new life and organization to project ideas, obviously with the pleasure of meeting up as collaborators and friends in Naples.
We can't wait to share this journey through public performances and the festival!

A training of artists was organized in Athens, to build the capacity of the participating organisations’ artists empowering them implement the method in their contexts.
Intended was a training of multiplier artists during four days in Athens with these artists acting as multipliers in their own environment.

Diving into the Art of Connection and Theatre
A full day introduction to the “Art of Connection” and the skills behind the method, created by Hope Art founders Angeliki Voulgari and Vasilis Panagiotidis. Conversations and exercises of connection were followed by an exploration of theatre methods to work with people with disabilities, developed by Angeliki Volugari and Vasilis Panagiotidis in the activities they realize around Greece, and based on their backgrounds as actress and musician.

Connecting through Dance
Ana Rita Barata and Bruno Rodrigues lead the group of artists through the day with an immersion into togethering via the body, with and beyond words, building a collaborative choreography in each other's movements and thoughts.

Colors and senses, ways of togethering with fine arts, sound, music and technology
Colors and senses, ways of togethering with fine arts, sound, music and technology Here the text for day four Fred Adam and Geert Vermeire combined senses, more than human connections, sounds and locative technologies, creating a collective sound map and app.
This was complemented by collective movements in colors, imagining the “other” through painting with the creative team of the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples.
