• W778240627 abstract "A quick survey of English literature on contemporary Italian theatre directors, including the most recent English-language History of the Italian Theatre (2006) by Joseph Farrell and Paolo Puppa, yields a long list of noteworthy names, including internationally known practitioners. Astonishingly, not one Italian woman director is mentioned. Among the dozens of Italian women directors excluded from English-language records, we find director/ deviser and actress Emma Dante (b. 1967), a major contributor to contemporary Italian theatre who has slowly risen to fame over the past twenty years.A native of Palermo, the capital of Sicily, Dante developed a fascination for the theatre as a teenager. In 1986, at the age of nineteen, she left Sicily for the first time to study acting at the Accademia Nazionale di Arte Drammatica 'Silvio D'Amico' (the 'Silvio D'Amico' National Academy of Dramatic Arts) in Rome. After graduating in 1990, Dante worked professionally as an actress for theatre, cinema, and television. In 1995, Dante briefly returned to Sicily following the death of her brother. She went back to Rome, where she spent the next four years working as an actress while participating in experimental theatre workshops with directors such as Cesare Ronconi.1 The years from 1995 to 1999 were the darkest in Dante's career, filled with personal and family-related hardships-culminating in 1999 with the death of her mother-experiences that led the Sicilian director to question her career choice. However, the experience of leading an experimental theatre workshop for the La Zisa cultural center in Palermo revived her passion for theatre arts, channeling it towards directing rather than acting. Soon after, Dante established her own theatre company, Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale (South Occidental Coast Company), together with actors Manuela Lo Sicco, Sabino Civilleri, and Italia Carroccio. The company, which today consists of Carroccio, Carmine Maringola, Daniela Gusmano, and Lisa Pugliese, is carefully named to reflect its commitment to putting the South of Italy (sud) at the forefront of all its artistic endeavors and to letting the geographical area that houses the company (the west coast of Sicily where Palermo is located) inform the content and aesthetic of the work it produces.Dante and her company put down roots in La Vicaria, a basement formerly housing a shoe factory turned theatre in Palermo, a city that has traditionally held a lower cultural status than cities in central and northern Italy such as Rome and Milan. From this geographically marginalized position and without governmental subsidies, her company produces extremely physical, experimental new works that are beautiful and violent, colorful and dangerous (Bozonnet), and that speak to and are inspired by the people of Southern Italy.[The] encounters and events that have taken place at La Vicaria have freed that place from the official insignia of high culture theatre. It is not by chance that those who take part in those activities are mostly common citizens (and, therefore a 'real public') instead of people who belong to the theatre world. (Emma Dante: Sito Ufficiale)2Foregoing the Italian canonic high culture theatre for an experimental theatre that speaks to the people of Palermo, devising new works, and acting as the literary and directorial heart of her company, Emma Dante has managed to slowly stir up the Italian theatrical scene. From the inception of Sud Costa Occidentale, Dante moved towards a theatre laboratory of Grotowskian inspiration and Kantorian principles. The company's way of creating new works calls for a long rehearsal processes, often spanning over the course of a year or more. This process is geared towards devising productions that eventually feature the same actors who have originated the piece. Half of these productions are then published as play scripts inclusive of detailed, descriptive stage action, available in printed form. …" @default.
