Activities |
|
The
activities will be attended by adults and children. Going to
workshops with your own children and their friends is a pleasant
way to spend some time in the open air, away from the polluted
thoughts which accompany us in every day life.
The
days will begin with breakfast at your accommodation, you will be taken
with the other participants, a member of Naucrates and an
artist, to the olive groves on the hills where you will be able
to walk and learn about the local flora and fauna. You will be
invited to collect some elements and to analyse colours and
shapes of nature.
There will be a special
class for children
to learn to sketch alive farm animals.
|
|
In
the second part of the day each team will create a model of a
scene,
using a cardboard box as the theatre and the elements collected as
protagonists, and finally painting it with the colours seen in
nature. Each team will enter the
Oscar Stage Design
competition for the best scene. The price will be given at the end of the course.
The stunning
view from the hills, the details of secular olive trees, the
wild flowers, the colours of sun bleached hills are examples of
what you will be able to portray.
During the
evenings you will be able to taste succulent dinners in local
restaurants and enjoy traditional cucina corese and vino . |

Italian countryside where
agricultural landscape dominates the flat land located near
the Thyrrhenian Sea. A land of olive groves and woods in the
Lazio Hills, about 20 km from the Sea and 40 km south of Rome.
Accommodation will be provided in
Cori, a small village
nestled on a hill and still supported by the original ancient
cyclopic walls, where remains of temples, ruins and churches
accompany the visitor through to the 20th Century.

A place of mythology (Jason and
Argonauts, Ulysses), the site of numerous battles (first with
the Volsci, Latins and Romans and later as a refuge for Lucio
Silla during the war with Mario), and currently divided into
three Rioni corresponding to the three accesses into the town.
To the present day a traditional horse race (Palio delle
Contrade) and a costume parade is held during the summer months,
which makes Cori an enchanting place.
