The workshop begins with a brief reference to the bibliography related to the Anthropology of Performance, Theatrology, Ethnomusicology and Cultural Anthropology. Specifically, the speaker will refer to the performative ritual actions (actions) of non-urban, symbiotic and agricultural communities in order to arrive at the interpretation and performance of the folk song through the “dance”, but also to its on-the-spot capture as the main source of on-stage dramaturgy, as a kind of “spectacle”.

Laboratory Seminar Objectives:
The objectives of the workshop are the participants, since they are active in education and culture, they are invited to carry out a practice-based artistic research in the form of participation in the workshop process, so that later, after understanding its cultural context, they can transfer it to the their educational space, where there with their groups, (students, clubs, students etc.):
a) recall to their memory the unity through the actions, which are carried out in the traditional communities
b) to further understand the folk song as the structural and living element of preserving cultural memory, but also further inspiring its performance in modern contexts with different tools, purpose & functionality
c) interpret it figuratively and perceive the humanizing values and skills that arise from the creativity and teamwork of the process.
