Shakespeare's Tempest: Ontology, Reconstruction & Manipulation
Start date: May 1, 2011,

STORM is a multilingual PT-PL-UK project,aiming to co-produce a site-specific performance,accompanied by a website and a multimedia DVD.The project reconstructs the language of this classical play, by manipulation of specific spaces through various vocabularies of actors' bodies.Vivid intercultural dialogue acts as a constitutive part for the whole project,where movement of diverse ideas across the European borders, alongside with different artists,will create 12 pieces of work in progress and one final show.The project is structured around three stages:STAGE 11.05.11-30.06.11Task 1:creating the website: www.dramatic-storm.comT2:cutting the playT3:casting and introductory workshopsSTAGE 21.07.11-30.03.12 Work in progress:Collaborators visit each other and every country's team splits into two groups and cross-rehearses in two languages in all possible configurations.The process is filmed.T4:collaboration in PT: rehearsals/performancesT5:collaboration in PL: rehearsals/performancesT6:collaboration in UK: rehearsals/performancesT7:editing a multimedia DVDT8: rewriting the final e-format of script in relation to the final materialSTAGE 301.04.12-30.04.12T9:all partners meet in PT for a workshop and final meeting for dissemination/evaluation of the project and define future strategiesReunion is the key topic of the story of The Tempest.The paradoxical idea of a unified diversity is at the core of this project's collaboration:the participants will work together across political and geographical borders to develop a shared cultural effort.The partners have different, individual areas of expertise to bring to the project which in itself will act as an inspiring generator of intercultural ideas about contemporary theatre and its relation to modern society, taking into account the trans-local/national relationships viewed and interpreted from a wider and commonly shared European perspective.
