L'artigiano che crea le maschere: intervista a Sayar Sein.

interview

Ghambhira is more than a hundred and fifty years old and is an unique song and dance form which is used to be traditionally presented during the annual Shiva festival in Malda, known as tha Gambhira utsav. Gambhira art is an invocation to Lord Shiva. The word “gambhir” is said to stand for Shiva and “ra” is for prayer. It’s a folk art form which has emerged from the people and presents themes of social inequality, economic imbalance and exploitation in a satirical and critical manner. A Gambhira performance usually consists of five parts: bandana (invocation to Lord Shiva), dwaita (duet), charyaari, palabandi gaan (taunting or provocation), khabar (reporting).

CONVERSAZIONE SUL TEATRO-DANZA BALINESE TOPENG ED ESPERIENZE DI COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE A BALI

Carmencita Palermo
Il teatro danza balinese è conosciuto tra i teatranti Europei grazie agli scritti di Artaud che hanno ispirato registi e attori del XX secolo. Oggi l'idea di Bali non è solo un'idea esotica, ma una realtà raggiungibile - da qui il pellegrinaggio teatrale verso Bali. Il pellegrinaggio di Carmencita è andato oltre ad alcuni mesi di training e nella sua dimostrazione spettacolo condivide i risultati di più di 25 anni di studio della cultura balinese. Con il suo racconto condivide ciò che ha imparato dai suoi maestri sul contesto rituale della maschera dell'unica isola induista dell'arcipelago indonesiano che, attraverso il respiro, rendono il corpo-maschera offerta.
Carmencita Palermo è ricercatrice, performer, organizzatrice e regista di teatro di comunità con un dottorato di ricerca presso l'Università della Tasmania-Australia sul teatro-danza balinese con maschere Topeng. I suoi studi sul campo sulla cultura e teatro Balinese iniziarono nei primi anni '90 quando ha frequentato l'Istituto delle Arti Indonesiane di Denpasar ed è diventata allieva dei maestri I Ketut Kantor, I Made Sija, I Nyoman Cerita, I Ketut Kodi. La sua ricerca e la sua pratica teatrale esplorano le dinamiche di interazione tra corpo, maschera, musica, ambiente e pubblico in differenti contesti culturali.
Ha pubblicato i suoi studi sullo spettacolo e la politica culturale balinese, sull'incorporazione della maschera e sul teatro interculturale come capitoli in volumi editi e in riviste accademiche di valore internazionale come Asian Theatre Journal, Intersections: Gender and Sexuality in Asia and the Pacific, Indonesia and the Malay World. In Italia conduce progetti e insegna presso l'Università’ degli studi di Napoli "L'Orientale".
Il corpo della Maschera nel Topeng Balinese
Questo video documenta un momento della ricerca sul campo a Bali condotta da Carmencita Palermo. La conversazione tra la ricercatrice e il danzatore-attore I Ketut Kodi rivela i principi della vita della maschera nel Topeng, una forma di teatro danza con maschere in uso nelle cerimonie dell'induismo balinese, ma anche come intrattenimento per eventi sociali.

A Book about "Commedia dell’Arte in the Asia Pacific Region"
Co-Editors Dr Corinna Di Niro (Australia) and Dr Olly Crick (UK) talk about the book they are currently working on: Commedia in the Asia-Pacific

CONVERSAZIONE SULLA PRESENZA DELLA COMMEDIA DELL’ARTE NELL'AREA ASIA-PACIFIC

Olly Crick
Olly Crick currently works as a freelance educator and teacher, mainly in the field of Commedia dell'Arte. Commedia dell'Arte usually confines itself to western romance languages and euro-centric gesture codes. What happens when Commedia and its practitioners set up shop in the Asia-pacific region? Working in partnership with Australian Dr Corinna di Niro, Olly Crick is currently editing a book that details precisely this: how commedia has fared, this century, in Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Bali and Thailand. Adapting to local circumstances and yet keeping its distinctive features, it appears in various forms: as a hybrid, as barter, as cross-cultural performance, as well as a way of introducing the 'east' to the fundamentals of western theatre history and practice.

Corinna Di Niro
Corinna Di Niro is a teacher, theatre maker and performer. In 2016, Corinna completed her PhD in Commedia dell'Arte for a 21st century Australian context and has published on Commedia, and women/mothers/casuals in Academia. Since 2005, Corinna has run her own theatre company, Stage Secrets, in Adelaide, Australia and in 2019 she became a TEDx speaker for her innovation in virtual reality in theatre.
