AB, which began as a project on paper, has now expanded into 3-dimensions at Nomas Foundation in Rome. The AB book has been used as a boomerang, which has in turn created the complete circle of dimensions. Maybe more than three.
 
Using the original travel mates of the journey, and other hitchhikers along the way, a map has been generated. Artworks become orientation points in the space; landmarks used to navigate courses of thoughts in the exhibition. The installment and the production of a rhythm of an exhibition are equatable to the contours of territories on an atlas…
 
…And if you don't have a boomerang just use a hat.

the Turkish  Birgul Erkani and the Mexican Laura Figueroa talk to each other on the common love for the horse, animal free-spirited and a symbol of strength and passion.
 
“In Anatolia, where I come from, in ancient times, it's beleived that horse is the hope, it’s breath is the heal; it brings goodness to people. And with that breath we came to Rome...” Birgul Erkani
 
“Los caballos son mis maestros, viviendo con ellos que son parte de ellos y toda su elegante movimiento hace que me emociones fuertes, y me dio la inspiración para crear mis obras, todas ellas basadas en los movimientos de este noble animal ...” Laura Figueroa

Common Archive School is an open workshop, which will activate an education process involving people of different age and background, the disciplines that will be addressed span from illumination to writing, with a focus on the relation between theatre and cinema dramaturgy.
 
Common Archive School is a branch of The School of Narrative Dance a nomadic school, proposing a didactic system based on emancipation, inclusion, self-education, that aims at rethinking social structures and organization, founded by Marinella Senatore in 2013.
The school is based on storytelling and is rooted in a variety of languages, from cinema to performance, stage techniques, poetry, oral history, and offers the occasion to its participants and communities to share individual skills and acquire new knowledge. The School of Narrative Dance involves activists, academics, workers associations, teachers and whoever is interested, in the attempt to foster education, sustainability, and the transmission of practical knowledge.
 
Common Archive School will involve external tutors as well as professionals formed in the course of the educational programme of Teatro Valle Occupato and aims at creating an archive of collective memories, shared narratives and stories.
 
Marinella Senatore was born in 1977 in Cava dei Tirreni, Italy. She lives and works in Berlin. After graduating from the Accademy of Fine Arts in Naples, she continued her studies at the Experimental Center of Cinematography in Rome, where she learned about the light, its effects and its narrative potential. As an artist and filmmaker, in her projects -often developed in collaboration with institutions, museums and universities- she involves entire communities. The public participate as co-writer, actor and director of the entire creative process.
