Miniatures Officinae
It is a creative project, brought forth by L’Officina, in partnership with cultural structures in various countries of the Mediterranean basin, based on a five-year period, from 2008 to 2013. The objective is to collect a multitude of miniature performances created by artist from Mediterranen area during residencies in the differnet countries involved. The multi-dimensional field of the project will inspire artistic and cultural exchanges, and the dialogue between artists and cultures as wells.The final goal of Officinae Miniatures is to offer to the audience these representations on stage in autumn 2013, in several spots in Marseille, during the annual edition of DANSEM in the frame of Marseille 2013 European Cultural Capital.
We are part of several national networks and we run a huge cultural centre in a former factory: we can actively promote creative initiatives and cooperation projects: we want to improve the intercultural dialogue through creativity and arts, involving also the communities in this process.
In this perspective, beyond cultural projects, we could on one hand promote seminars workshops and educational projects on the other hand offer artistic residencies and support International mobility. Furthemore we want to support the circulation of information and knowledges, spreading information about the ALF network and its activities, and publish studies and research works.
We want to join the network because we are intersted in cooperation and in intercultural dialogue and exchange. We want to explore the connections between Europe and ther Mediterranean basin, undelying how this crossing-border trend affects the cultural field too: people keep looking both to their local identity but they need to develop a wider and global view dealing with this complexity. We want to get closer to the activities promoted by the network especially in the field of culture and education supporting them also learning from them: we want to discover new methodologies and get ready to listen and study themes and needs came out from these new cultures, complex and composed by differences merged toghether
