Summary
“Gender Matters” is a pilot project that revolves around the cooperation of three cultural players committed to theater, based in France (Compagnie Duanama), Italy (Sciara Progetti) and Portugal (Teatro Metaphora – Associação de Amigos das Artes). Aim of the project is to promote gender issues and raise awareness about the phenomenon of violence against women by combing a theater-based approach together with non formal education in order to achieve audience development and empowerment. The audience development strategy (ADS) will focus on turning the performance of Malanova into three < mis en scene > that can tour across Europe and be accessible to a wider audience, especially young Europeans. The strategy will address, through a customized approach, key groups such as: school age youngsters, University students, youth workers and social workers. The ADS is designed by merging a participatory approach made of sessions and workshops that engage the audience, direct contacts and work with theater professionals, use of different settings rather than traditional theaters (E.G. Bus Theater) in order to reduce the distance between cultural actions and potential/non cultural users.
In order to achieve sustainable and long-lasting results, the project foresees to carry out two capacity building activities aimed, on one hand, at providing competences related to emotional management, and, on the other, to disseminate and exchange the methodology of GM in other fields (education, youth work). Main products will be: 3 unreleased Mis en Scene; a film documentary of the touring activity; a manual book containing the innovative approach of the project and the study carried out inside the project. Key activity is the organization of EU Tour that will visit 9 European countries. All products and results will be presented at a transnational conference organized in Italy and streamed on-line to bring up all the different perspectives and angles of the work.
