Project Butterfly, co-financed by the Creative Europe programme, aims to involve students and high schools in writing an opera on an environmental theme and in its production in terms of sustainability.
The opera, whose working title is "Elements for the Future", will consist of 3 acts of approximately 30 minutes each; the subject of the work, inspired and built around an element, will be the result of the creative work of the students who, starting from the environmental aspects, will be able to draw on a multidisciplinary investigation to be co-planned with the teachers.
The meetings with the students foresee the creation of working groups and the active participation of the students themselves. AESS will take care of the working methodology and will accompany teachers and students in the different stages of the process, exploring the possibility of using textual and other types of references, digital and not-digital as well as carrying out visits to artistic and historical places in the area as sources of inspiration for students.
On that note, the planned co-design meetings with teachers in Modena started up! Roberta Borghi, Cecilia Angelelli and Claudio Vaccari, teachers from the selected 3rd year class of the Selmi High School in Modena, met with AESS and Teatro Comunale di Modena in order to identify detailed content for the co-creation meetings with students beginning next October. Stay tuned with our busy Butterfly agenda next Autumn, then!
