This module focuses on the performance Hot and cold, an interactive performance exploring themes of global warming, sustainability, and the interplay between opposites through artistic and bodily experiences. It aims to provide an inspiring and engaging experience for groups of 60 young participants. Working on opposites (hot and cold) provides actors and spectators with clear, shared, but also interesting, material in its possible nuances and combinations of contrasts. In the following notes you will find a detailed theatrical/sporting method to practically reflect through a bodily experience, in the belief that physical experience is the best vehicle, especially for young people, to reflect on reality.
