A Nomadic Book

A Nomadic Book expands and celebrates the first five editions of the Nomadic School. Created in 2020 by Office for a Human Theatre [OHT], the Nomadic School takes place every summer at an altitude of around 2,000 meters in the Alpine region, with the aim of developing—as the book’s curators Filippo Andreatta and Sarah Messerschmidt write—”a program of alternative pedagogy rooted in artistic creativity, practicing horizontal learning and pedagogical openness.”

The Alps cease to serve merely as a backdrop and instead become worlds in themselves, places to rethink the very notion of theatre, as a “multispecies art form” and “a site where different organisms can interact to produce unexpected and surprising connections.”.

Starting from reflections on contemporary performing arts, investigations into practices of coexistence, and analyses of the relationships between environment and architecture, the 22 contributions collected in A Nomadic Book explore the interconnections between the practices and knowledges that drive the Nomadic School.

With contributions by: Annibale Salsa, Lucia Pietroiusti, Sarah Messerschmidt, Prathima Muniyappa, Filippo Andreatta, Gianni Laneri, Rosario Talevi, Veronica Franchi, Enrico Malatesta, Michael S. Bekele, Christian Casarotto, Annamaria Ajmone, May Abnet, Miriam Daxl, Elisabetta Filosi, Studio Folder, Dehlia Hannah, Lilian Fraiji, Victoria Bjork, Giacomo Lorandi, Giacomo Bianco.
