Download the Activiy Report ANNUAL REPORT 2018 2 "For this 70th edition of the Festival d’Aix which is Bernard Focroulle’s last festival, it is tempting to take stock of his achievements as Director in light of the greatest moments of opera that his mandate allowed the development of, whether it be for example, Written on Skin by George Benjamin or Elektra as seen by Patrice Chéreau. By his manner of bringing together talents and horizons, of bringing professionals and amateurs closer together in the same desire for high standards, of creating a dialogue between western music and oriental music, of reaching audiences without ever pandering to them, of inviting in order to enrich, it is not impossible that the Orfeo & Majnun in the long term will become an even more crucial date."

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Académie invited two emblematic personalities from its earliest days: the French baritone, Stéphane Degout who gave his first cycle of masterclasses here and the pianist Alan Planès. This residence called « The Art of the Recital » enabled six piano/voice duos to perfect the conception of their recital programmes of French melody, each of which would be performed for the partners of the enoa European network during the course of the 2018/2019 season. The traditional Mozart and chamber music residencies completed this programme of professional development. For the second year running, the cycle of workshops on the reflection on creation was opened, this year dealing with the question of the representation of women in opera. The Creative Opera Workshops thus brought together 10 women artists in the middle of their career as part of a workshop on the sharing of professional tools, with the aim of strengthening their position in the sector. In parallel was being held the annual session of the Opera Creation Workshop, a session of exchanges and of reflection on the opera of tomorrow. As part of the symphonic session, 80 musicians from the Mediterranean Youth Orchestra (MYO) took part in three concerts conducted by the conductors Kazushi Ono and Quentin Hindley. Led by the composer Fabrizio Cassol, the MYO’s intercultural session enabled a dozen of these young artists to work on an un precedented collective musical project presented as part of four concerts in Aix and on tour. The sessions for the Sinfonietta from the opera Orfeo & Majnun an urban procession brought together 24 musicians from the MYO conducted by Bassem Akiki. Mediation and transmission are today at the heart of an artist’s professional development. Outreach skills from the Académie, which are run notably by Mark Withers who is Artistic Director of participative projects with LSO Discovery, has enabled 54 artists, singers and instrumentalists, to learn how to pass on their art and their artistic practices to young and new audiences. The Académie is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its creation and of perspectives during the course of three major events: a photographic exhibition which goes back over the best moments of the Académie and of the Festival, photographed by Vincent Beaume, musical workshops available for everyone and particularly for the families and a festive Jam Session that gathered many artists from the Festival and the Académie. This anniversary served as a reminder of the progress that was made and to present the challenges of tomorrow, in images thanks to a specific video and in words with the edition of a special publication. The 2017 HSBC Académie Laureates were revealed7 on the 12 October 2017 at the Philharmonie de Paris. They then performed throughout the 2017/2018 season on tour in France and in 13 concerts at the Festival d’Aix. With the support of 21 The Académie is at the origin of the creation of two international networks. enoa is a European network of opera academies whose aim is to help vocational integration, vocational mobility, and the creation of new opera projects for young European artists. This summer the Académie received 18 artists recommended by members of the network and 3 of its residencies: Opera Creation Workshops, Women Creators of Opera and The Art of the Recital all benefitted from the support ofenoa . On the occasion of the quarterly meeting of the enoa network, the Festival d’Aix hosted its 12 partners the 2 and 3 July. The endorsement of a new manifesto which would guide the development of the next enoa programme was at the heart of the discussions. This summer meeting also marked the end of Bernard Focroulle’s mandate at the Head of the network, of which the presidency will be taken over by Pierre Audi as early as September 2018. The Medinea network assembles more than twenty cultural organisations from the Euro-Mediterranean region, supporting the vocational integration of young Mediterranean musicians by developing intercultural projects promoting dialogue, transmission and mobility within the Mediterranean. Thanks to the recent support of creative Europe as part of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, Medinea this year accompanied the Outreach skills workshop of the Académie in Aix and a Session of intercultural creation of the MYO, “outside the walls” in Nuoro, (Italy).

  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Piece of Wood. It Wasn't a Fine Type of Wood
    Once upon a time there was a piece of wood. It wasn’t a fine type of wood, the kind that’s used to make toys or furniture for the sitting room, but a cheap wood, good for burning in the fireplace. Old Geppetto, who worked as a carpenter, decided to use it to make the puppet that he had long wished for. The next day, Geppetto almost fainted when he saw Pinocchio skip around the house. “Dad, I want to go to school!” trilled the puppet in a voice that sounded like little silver bells. As he didn’t have a penny in his pockets, Geppetto rushed to sell the only coat he had to buy a spelling book, and sent him off to school. Along the way, Pinocchio heard a music of pipes and drums and discovered… a travelling show, no less! “Pinocchio, go to school!” said his When he had finished, the man rested his puppet conscience, but he on a shelf and said, admiringly: “Ah, wouldn’t it be wouldn’t listen and he nice if he was a real boy?

  • Artificial Intelligence,” States That the Ending Is “The Film’S Most Sentimental Moment, Yet It’S Questionable Whether It Involves Any Real People at All” (220)
    THE STORY OF AI Professor Hobby (William Hurt), addressing a group of scientists, speaks in the beginning of the film of the mechas’ perception of life, their emotions, and their capabilities. Demonstrating his cyborg creation’s response to physical stimuli, he pricks the hand of a mecha named Shelia. Although Shelia reacts to the pain, it doesn’t seem to bother her emotionally. When Hobby asks her to disrobe, Shelia does so with no hesitation; the professor stops her at her blouse and touches her in a way that reveals the robotics inside her humanlike skin. Hobby declares that for his next challenge, he will attempt to create a mecha that can love. One of his colleagues, however, asks the important questions: would this child be able to truly love or would it just be a simulation, and even if the mecha could love, would its owners love it back? With the entrance of David (Haley Joel Osment), the mecha built to love, Spielberg, while telling the story of how the mecha’s guardians relate to him, also challenges the audience in their reactions to David. At first, David is a pleasant enough mecha; while not causing any major problems, his robotic yet kid-like demeanor is a tad creepy. To illustrate, David constantly follows his “mother” around the house, stands perfectly still, and stares at her in wonder, as if he is waiting for her to something special. Eventually, Monica grows tired of David following her around, so she shoves him in the linen closet and locks him in there.

  • 'Pinocchio: Storia Di Un Burattino'
    The University of Pittsburgh Department of French and Italian presents ‘Pinocchio: Storia di un burattino’ Dramatic readings from The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi Saturday, October 19, 2013 Stephen Memorial Charity Randall Theatre 2:30pm FREE ADMISSION Although Carlo Collodi’s ‘Le avventure di Pinocchio’ is generally considered a children’s tale, like many similarly classified works of fiction, it is actually much more: it is, among other things, a narrative about the memory of a nation that had only very recently attained political unity and independence. According to the Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce it is “a tale for adults, centred on the tragic figure of Geppetto, a story where the whole of humanity is inscribed in a piece of wood”, a story that tackles “the relationship between freedom and obedience, between father and son”. The object of the show is to restore its true and more complex nature to Collodi’s work, through a dramatic reading of the most emblematic chapters of the novel (I, II, III, IV, XI, XVI, XVII, XXXV, and XXXVI), and by placing the character of Geppetto centre stage. In this endeavour, the choreographic work of Michela Lucenti is as important as the interpretation of Massimiliano Finazzer-Flory, who gives voice to Geppetto, the Cricket, the Fairy, Mangiafuoco, the Fox and the Cat. By employing the music composed by Nino Rota, the show wants to pay homage to the dreamlike world of film director Federico Fellini, while the use of Fiorenzo Carpi’s music is intended as a tribute to film director Luigi Comencini’s Pinocchio forty years after the release of the movie.

  • The Labyrinth the Paper Factory the Butterfly House Collodi Pinocchio
    C.H.I.L.DCOLLODI’S HOUSE OF INTERACTIVE LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT Our aim is to redefine the traditional library experience and allow for a AUDITORIUM PERSPECTIVE SECTION more explorative approach that peaks the curiosity of visitors of any age group, providing a layered experience engaging their senses and creating a sense of anticipation. Based on different entities, a layering system was conceived. The Labyrinth The concept began with the beginning of Carlo Lorenzin, where Villa Garzoni and its complex garden were the main inspiration, “...a labyrinth of box that promises love to those who find shelter in it..”, the Library materializing as an immersive path for the inquisitive mind; a Labyrinth. In this reinterpretation of the Labyrinth the user experiences an enhance- ment of sensations and feelings based on the different paths taken, where the heart of the maze is no longer a singular destination, but a multitude of hubs that invites them to engage in different activities. The Paper Factory Considering the major role of the factory played in the growth of the area, it became the starting approach towards the site, from it, a grid was creat- ed leading to a clear alignment with the structure. Whereas the existing topography creates a segregation between the 2 areas of the intervention, we took advantage of the grid to unite the two sides and setting a basic structure to the projects layout. Starting with a block massing that links the sites, but keeps the hierarchy of the majestic factory visible, a beacon of the past, we then allotted a program to define the different areas.

  • The Glimmerglass Festival
    A 2017 Guide FEATURE ARTICLE Training Opera’s Next Generation A Tale of Two Festivals April 2017 Festivals Editor’s Note In our largest and most varied Guide to Summer Festivals yet, we focus on a common thread: training the next generation of performers and the artistic personnel who support them. At many festivals, young artists receive private lessons, coaching sessions, master classes, or all of the above during the day. By night they are either performing, observing the seasoned pros who train them by day, or a combination of the two. But honing or developing the skills of tomorrow’s generation of musicians is only part of the equation. It’s summertime, after all, and while the living may not exactly be “easy,” it’s certainly a lot more relaxed than during the season or school year. Consider the difference between waiting in the green-room line post-concert A 2017 Guide to shake the maestro’s hand vs. running into him in the festival cafeteria line, or at the local pub after the concert, or on a morning jog. Such is the kind of cross-fertilization for which festivals are known, and one of the reasons they are such ideal settings for rising artists. Sometimes the trainees are fully integrated into the schedule, such as at the Santa Fe Opera, where young artists are featured, often in leading roles. Sometimes they work independently of the main event, such as at Tanglewood, where the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, for instance, is comprised entirely of TMC Fellows and plays its own concerts, alongside the center-stage Boston Symphony Orchestra (whose members form much of the faculty).

  • From Puppet to Cyborg: Posthuman and Postmodern Retellings of the Pinocchio Myth
    FROM PUPPET TO CYBORG: POSTHUMAN AND POSTMODERN RETELLINGS OF THE PINOCCHIO MYTH By Georgia Panteli Thesis submitted to University College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy CENTRE FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY & INTERCULTURAL INQUIRY (CMII), SCHOOL OF EUROPEAN LANGUAGES, CULTURE & SOCIETY (SELCS) UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1 Declaration of Authorship I, [Georgia Panteli] confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The myth of Pinocchio is the story of a puppet that desires to become human and achieves it with the power of his will. Created by Carlo Collodi in The Adventures of Pinocchio, the myth of Pinocchio is linked to the fairy tale tradition and is the most recent manifestation of the animate/inanimate archetype. This thesis is the first systematic study of the Pinocchio myth and examines how it has been used and reinterpreted in different retellings across different media and disciplines. The first part of this study focuses on Pinocchio retellings in film and shows that the most contemporary example of the Pinocchio myth is in the story of the sentient cyborg/robot that desires humanity. Moving from the classic in the field of cyborg studies Blade Runner through Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which directly links the robot to Pinocchio, to the least technophobic and most transhumanist Battlestar Galactica, Chapter 1 demonstrates how all case studies are connected to Collodi’s novel through the confrontation scene, a specific passage in the text which touches upon the core of the Pinocchio myth, as Pinocchio is confronted both by the Blue Fairy and his corporeality.
