What is the "Territory Theater" project<\/span><\/h2>\n

TERRITORIO TEATRO is a cultural and sports project for the social inclusion of people with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities that aims to build moments of encounter and relationship between people, landscape and territory, through narrative and performative strategies. It arises from the awareness that the territory, with its naturalistic, artistic and historical riches, is by its nature open to be narrated, in multiple forms, by the people who live it and that the discovery activity, associated with narration and expression of oneself, opens to multiple possibilities of encounter and knowledge of the other, with one's own abilities and frailties. The aim of the project is to promote the autonomy of people with disabilities through a path of laboratory meetings aimed at guiding the process of knowledge and enhancement of the representative places of a territory, through narration and performative action. It consists of a series of workshop activities open, in an inclusive perspective, to people with disabilities and to those who take care of them professionally and family and provides for the return of work in the form of walking and itinerant performance on the territory. Culture, social, sport, participation and territory are linked in a continuous exchange of knowledge and enhancement.<\/p>\n

Where did it originate<\/span><\/h2>\n

The idea was born from the union of knowledge and skills of professionals who come from the cultural, social, environmental and landscape enhancement world, with a view to enhancing good practices and the results of experimental projects carried out since 2017, with Assistance centers for people with disabilities, "La Ginestra" and "Villa Balli", and with the association "Senza Barriere Onlus", all realities operating in Castelfiorentino.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the joint work with professional operators \/ educators and volunteers of the local associations, two different cycles of laboratory activities were co-designed with the aim of telling, through short collective itinerant performances in the area, the most representative places of the town of Castelfiorentino, their history, traditions, curiosities. The return of the workshop activities took place in a public way with the realization, within the annual event of "InCanti & Banchi", of a walk, open to all citizens, conducted and animated by a group of people with and without disability.<\/p>\n

During the annual event held in Castelnuovo d'Elsa for the knowledge and enhancement of the Via Francigena, the outcome of the workshops that led to the realization of the walk-performance "I also walk the Francigena" was also presented. , a circular route along the streets of the historic center of Castelfiorentino, told by an inclusive group of 25 people who took turns in storytelling activities, group guide, and animation of the places.<\/p>\n
