A call for the selection of a composer under 35 with disabilities or a group of composers under 35 including persons with disabilities to be included in the artistic team of the PASS Project.

The call aims to create an opportunity of growth, comparison and professional employment to enhance the artistic talent of emerging composers with disabilities.

Each partner, working with stakeholders, the disabled communities, cultural operators, technicians and school professionals, will collect information on needs and possible solutions. Partners will highlight problems faced by disabiled people and possible solutions to be implemented in live venues and shows.

Creative workshops began with Bohnice theatre company, actors with long-term experience with psychiatric patients. The theme was ‘touch, see and hearing’ and a sheet of paper served as a means of expression.

After the online kick-off meeting in Parma, the team divided into artistic team and stearing team meets online on a monthly basis: a true process of shared co-creation.

Equal encounters with everyone. Learning how to approach every human being with respect. “How to ask questions, listen, offer help and act in a way that is respectful of the other person.” ACCAC shares with the team a training program for the operators in which everyone has the chance to practice different genuine situations in a safe environment and receive feedback.

Vitoria Kotsalou from En Dynamei guides the team through an exploratory process for movements that celebrates life. “Feel your skin in your body… see with your skin… a thousand eyes in your skin…”. An online workshop in which we co-create altogether the movements that the dance company will develop in the following months for the project.
