The labyrinth is a metaphor for life and the thread a metaphor for the breath, or perhaps for the sense of being alive. This was the suggestion made to 28 participants from Italy, Romania, Germany, Wales, Turkey, Bulgaria and Portugal who gathered at the Vila Affori in Milan Nord for a training in COIAPA (Context Oriented Inter-Cultural Applied Participative Arts). Over 5 days a Sensory Labyrinth Theatre performance was created. As now seems natural, the process led to a very heartfelt performance which had a profound impact on visitors and inhabitants.
Many thanks to all who took part and to Robert, Katja and Lorenzo from Arci Varieazioni for hosting and to Bistra Choleva from Biveda, Bulgaria for assisting with the training. Bistra has worked with Cynefin for 5 years as actress and organizer of several projects in Bulgaria and is bringing her experience with Michael Checkov's actor training to strengthen the presence of actors when performing in the Labyrinth.
