“Raw materials” – intensive summer workshop – statement

From 12th to 17th of August, Lavauzelle gathered 15 participants and leaders from France, Poland, India, Italy, Greece and Australia to follow 4 workshops – separate but offering possibilities of contacts.

We were lucky to have a great quality group, both of artistic and human level, and had the possibility to work very intensively thanks to the quality of the place. Already, we are thinking to prolong this meeting through work.

In 2013, we plan a worksession at the same period, as well as, in order to touch the regional population, a session outside of the summer.

Thanks to Delphine Mininger for her priceless help, and to Matej Matejka for sharing some of the works of his studio through films.

This programme was held thanks to the support of the Grotowski Institute and CIATE.
