\"\"Is it possible to support refugees social inclusion through community theatre<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

From 26 to 29 March 2018, we participated in REACT Festival of Theatre made by refugees<\/strong> at the actacentre<\/a> in Bristol (UK).<\/p>\n

The REACT festival explored the significance of community theatre for the integration of refugees and asylum seekers with host communities across Europe. The three REACT project<\/a>\u00a0partners from Bristol, Rotterdam and Palermo came together to share their learning about making theatre with refugees. During the three-days festival, we were joined by theatre companies and practitioners, academics and students for a series of workshops<\/a> and conversations, as well as six new refugee theatre shows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each morning began with a morning-after conversation to discuss the show seen the night before, with an opportunity to ask questions and to hear more from the performers and directors<\/strong>. This was followed by a presentation from one of the three REACT<\/a> partners, each with a different model, taking an in depth look at how they approached making refugee theatre in their country.<\/p>\n

After lunch, the afternoon sessions included practical and conversation<\/strong> workshops<\/a><\/strong>, as well as matinee performances<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Bristol, Marta Orozco Mossi and Dario Ferrante from CSC<\/strong> presented the theatre production An interval (in the immensity)<\/em><\/strong> directed by Martino Lo Cascio<\/strong> with the assistance of Silvana Oliveri<\/strong>, who both attended the REACT festival in Bristol. On the last day of the Festival, CSC showed the video of its theatre performance and answered to the questions that a very interested audience asked after the end of the presentation.<\/p>\n\n

REACT – Refugee Engagement And integration through Community Theatre<\/a> is a 2-year project funded by DG EAC \u2013 CREATIVE EUROPE Program \u2013 Support for Refugee Integration Projects aiming at fostering a positive intercultural dialogue between the refugees and the host society through theatre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The project partnership is composed by 3 organizations which have different but complementary expertise both in the social and artistic field:<\/p>\n
