ArteStudio’s activities aim to promote intercultural dialogue and cultural collaboration among citizens making use of the extraordinary capability of theater in setting up relationships and cooperation’s actions. We strongly believe that Theater, intended as theatrical action, being a creative instrument of understanding can represent a unique mean for reflecting and acting upon the future of Italy and Europe in the perspective of integration and intercultural dialogue. Theatre represents a meeting place where the preparation of the performance becomes a process of regeneration of people fostering a new system of understanding among citizens, promoting a modern sense of collective identity in the context of diversity and wealth of cultures.
ArteStudio is an Italian cultural association using “Social Theatre” as an educational, artistic and pedagogic instrument for carrying on social and intercultural actions involving young people risking social deviance, detainees, minorities, people with mental disease, migrants, refugees, victims of torture. Among its numerous intercultural projects, ArteStudio ran theatre workshops in various Detention Centers in Rome and Lazio, where the majority of the prison population is multiethnic; worked with refugees and victims of torture from Africa, Middle East and Balkans, organised a workshop and a staging in Hebron, Palestinian Territories, and set up the fist multiethnic theatre company in Rome composed by actors of 10 different nationalities.
