A Nomadic Book célèbre les cinq premières éditions de la Nomadic School, une école fondée en 2020 par l'Office for a Human Theatre [OHT] qui développe son programme chaque été à environ 2000 mètres d'altitude dans les Alpes, proposant une approche pédagogique différente, ouverte aux écosystèmes et aux rythmes de la montagne.
A Nomadic Book expands and celebrates the first five editions of the Nomadic School. Created in 2020 by Office for a Human Theatre [OHT], the Nomadic School takes place every summer at around 2000 meters above sea level in the Alpine region, with the aim of developing—as Filippo Andreatta and Sarah Messerschmidt write—"an alternative mentorship programme rooted in artistic creativity, which practices horizontal learning and pedagogical openness".
The Alps cease to function merely as a backdrop and instead become worlds in which to rethink the very notion of theatre, "a multispecies art" form and "a site at which different organisms can interact to produce unexpected and surprising connections".
The 22 contributions collected in A Nomadic Book are drawn from reflections on contemporary performing arts, investigations into practices of coexistence, and analyses of the relationships between environment and architecture. Together, these contributions explore the interconnections between the practices and knowledges that drive the Nomadic School.
Fondé en 2008, OHT (Office for a Human Theatre) est l'atelier de recherche du metteur en scène et commissaire Filippo Andreatta dont les travaux traitent du paysage, des opinions politiques et des espaces publics.
