March 27, 2011, in search of what 'THAT MAY' NOT join those that already 'divides us Dear friends and colleagues,
the "national day of protest by the Italian children's theater" is taking shape, it is not easy to combine a world unfamiliar to her nature to be social status, within which live very different situations and also distant (not just geographically) between them, we are trying, whereas perhaps the first time you attempt such an operation, we can not be satisfied with the results achieved so far.
have given their support so many companies, but also theater, circuits, and people are still five months from the day of protest.
We have collected the views of all those who have believed appropriate to send, there was too much confusion, inappropriate mail rounds, forcing ideas and all that in a first time we can stand.
We tried to create a broad platform, in which many people could recognize, in an attempt to remove mistrust, fences and walls that have always lived in our world, with the aim to gather around this day the largest possible membership, because we are still confident that you can do to get the voice of a meaningful world on the desks of the decisions and still we are more certain about the contribution that this item will bring.
We know that ours is not an easy class, if any, that union has no history behind it, who has never fought a single battle, which we do in ten hundred voices, everything we know but an attempt was even made and here, at the time, everyone will be able to draw their own conclusions.
Attached you will find the outline of two posters that accompany the day of 27 March (or what you decide), were designed by Sara Maioli company's Plant and Drama by Richard Galeati Agency (Image Ravenna), we call them white poster manifest and black.
start with the simplest, white poster bears the names of all those who have joined and will join the initiative in the future, nothing outside of this. Put everything in a single print would have been impossible, the names would become unreadable Graphically we had a mess. It is so to divide de things, to make a double poster to be presented in the form of course side by side.
Black Manifesto, here are briefly described the reasons of the day, closed at three points deliberately wide:
IN DEFENCE OF FUS . We put it first because we believe it is important to him to open the series of things that we're going to ask. It is obviously aimed at the Ministry and the Minister himself. And 'we believe self-harm require the removal of this tool, we can certainly discuss the criteria that determine it, but if it were eliminated, as stated in the governo, avremmo ben poco da dirci. Il FUS è stato e può essere ancora uno strumento importante di sostegno alla nostra categoria, sappiamo che ci sono tante compagnie escluse che covano una sorta di “vendetta” verso questo fondo e che trascinate da una ingenua forma di “invidia” abbreviano il percorso cercandone l’eliminazione. Crediamo che sia un atteggiamento sbagliato, il FUS è un patrimonio nazionale che va salvaguardato, che forse deve cambiare, smettere di essere un elemento discriminante per diventare una casa in cui molti possono entrare senza sentirsi estranei, ma come si dice, tutto questo avrà senso se il FUS esisterà, altrimenti sarà aria fritta.
Il fatto che le maggiori compagnie che usufruiscono del FUS siano assenti da questa piattaforma la dice lunga sulla diffidenza che c’è tra chi è, e chi non è dentro il fondo. Difendiamo il FUS anche per loro, è un atto di grande significato.
(Per dar risposta all’eventuale e famosa domanda “da che pulpito viene la predica” e a scanso di equivoci, comunichiamo che la nostra struttura riceve dal Fus € 8.650,00 all’anno, su un bilancio di mezzo milione di euro e che l’eventuale scomparsa del fondo non ci recherebbe certo disagi insormontabili, se aderiamo alla sua difesa non è dunque per mero interesse personale ma per i motivi sopra riportati.)
AGAINST CUTS OF GENERALIZED REGIONS AND PROVINCES.
I believe this is the aspect of the platform that everyone should rewrite sewed on the dress of their territory. As we know every Italian region and province has undergone a drastic cut in transfers from the state, cutting each distributed differently on their balance sheets, though, hearing colleagues from various parts of Italy, the one that is made is a bleak picture slammed anywhere in the field of cultural activities. One can not generalize, however, everyone will understand the situation in their region and that will be adjusted.
Here, the Marche Region, said that the horizontal cut for 2011 will be 67.8%, also reported that the transfers to the provinces will be reduced from 90 to 30 million euro. It 'clear that faced with a scissor that moves with no one to oppose this violence if they do not put anything in the street its own workers.
in our region we will oppose the logic of the horizontal cut, we will go by the Culture to say that we are the area of \u200b\u200bgreatest cultural export in the Marches, that our companies have over thirty years of uninterrupted activity, which play a highly society and which can not be put on the same horizontal plane of the four money we receive each year with millions of other initiatives that we can not bring our thousand euro a month to hundreds of thousands of euro in regional opera artistic director, that the cut should take account of this otherwise we will study specific forms of protest. This
're going to say and we will do with the strength that comes from all of you who have subscribed in Italy and sign this historic first day, I guarantee you will not be the same. Each
regionalizzerà this aspect of the platform and then agreeing with the companies within the same territory.
RENEWED FOR A PACT WITH THE SCHOOL.
How many of us know, besides the cuts public, we are fighting a tough battle parallel with the school to turn to private resources and teachers. Many are no longer at the theater for the lack of presence and so on.
In this case the action must be twofold, first we should seek a meeting with the Minister for Education to be written so that a memorandum of understanding between schools and Children's Theater, where the theater is considered an indispensable tool in the training of young generations and included in the planning stage practice teaching as a high moment in all respects. The same procedure should be done with regional institutions of the School, you should sign Memoranda of Understanding and to children should be left the chance to meet the adventure of the theater, and overcoming bureaucratic obstacles casts of any kind.
SUMMARY
The steps and timing that will lead us then to the day of the March 27 (or what will be) are:
1) At the end of January 2011 will close the accessions the day of protest.
2) Send the file to all members so that each of the two posters which results in the number as it deems appropriate.
3) Each, for what you can, try to interest the national press informing the project.
4) Each press conference will convene in their town or, in agreement with other companies in its territory or regional level, explaining the reasons for the national day.
5) Any attempt to emphasize the initiative as possible by whatever means it deems appropriate. In theaters where that day's show will be before the start, given motivation and explanation of the day.
6) will be happy for each initiative of interest to the Departments of Culture of its regions and provinces, and the bodies of the school with them and try to open a table for discussion and negotiation.
For the moment, thanks for your attention.
IMPORTANT - It is difficult to bounce the ideas that come to us to others, there are various types, all of course to read and share. From now on we move the discussion on a blog we created specifically and which can be found at:
http://teatroxragazzi.blogspot.com
A recommendation, we're in sterile polemics that lead nowhere, we enter on the day, when fix (some say that March 27 is too late because then the games will be already done), how to make it effective and make it reach the national news. There is also to write a letter on behalf of all the Bondi and a Minister for the Minister Gelimini, who wants him to come forward.
