Work demonstration with Roberta Carreri as part of Odin Festival In English  Fri 5 September 2014, 14:00 Na Grobli Studio (Studio Space) Admission: 15 PLN Online tickets Every performance tells a story. The characters belonging to the world of fiction become credible reality for the spectator thanks to the actor’s technique. In Traces in the Snow the technique itself becomes the protagonist. The actress carries on a dialogue with the secrets which precede and follow the building of a character and the creation of a performance. Running time: 120 minutes  Roberta Carreri as born in 1953 in Milan, Italy, where she graduated in advertising design and studied art history at the Milan State University. She is an actor, teacher, writer and organizer. She joined Odin Teatret in 1974 during the group’s stay in Carpignano, Italy. Roberta Carreri has taken part in ISTA (International School of Theatre Anthropology) since its beginning in 1980, coming into contact with performing techniques from Japan, India, Bali and China. This has influenced her work as an actress and teacher. From 1980 to 1986 she studied with Japanese masters such as Katsuko Azuma (nihon buyo dancer), Natsu Nakajima and Kazuo Ohno (butoh dancers). She gives workshops for actors all over the world and presents, as a work demonstration, her professional autobiography, Traces in the Snow. She organises and leads the annual international workshop Odin Week Festival in Holstebro and abroad. In 2009 she directed Rumor with Cinzia Ciaramicoli for Masakini Theatre Company (Malaysia). Her professional experiences are presented in The Actor’s Way, edited by Erik Exe Christoffersen. Roberta has written her own book Tracce (published in 2007 by Edizioni Il Principe Costante, Milan, and by Editora Perspectiva, Brazil, in 2011), in which she relives the most relevant aspects of her theatre life – her training, pedagogy and her story as an actress of Odin Teatret. Her articles have been published in journals such as New Theatre Quarterly, Teatro e Storia, Máscara, The Open Page and Performance Research.  |
