and other fine artists and Italian linguists who will create International Opera Theater 16th world premiere Italian opera-
a fully staged, fully costumed and lit new opera in 1 month- something that usually takes more than 1 year to accomplish.
We are the only opera company in the world able to create such a project in so short a period of time.
We are able because we use "ausstrahlung" (emanations- charisma) as the basis for our movement based communication model- working onstage through exercises I have developed over a period of 50+ years- with processes which empower operatic performers to self-organize onstage and be expressive physically and vocally, while remaining in harmony with nature-
to increase intercultural sensitivity, empathy, intuition, the primary impulse (meaning to be able to act before cognitive thought), mirror neurons and instinct- abilities necessary for our global peacemakers and the most brilliant musicians.
August 1-31, with performances August 29,30,31 with orchestra.
