AND WHAT CHARACTER ARE YOU?
What is hidden behind a story? What can you create with imagination? And with your body, hands and voice? Annachiara Zanoli guides the participants in theater techniques to enact the fairy tales of traditional storytelling (filò) in Lessinia. We will find out who the fade are, understand if orcs are really scary, and if angels can come down from heaven. During the workshop, the children will build their own puppet with recycled materials to stage their own drama and to see how a fantastic world can be built, from nothing.

BREEDING GOOD BACTERIA
Bacteria, the good ones, can be eaten to rebalance the immune defenses, used to leaven bread and are useful in cleaning the house, as well as for fertilizing the garden. This is a mini course on the breeding and conservation of bacteria through the fermentation technique which will be addressed in both its theoretical and practical aspects. Each participant will produce their own bacteria using wild herbs and fruits present in Lessinia under the guidance of Paolo Oggiano, chef and expert in Thai Buddhist fermentation.
