Traditional Dance Workshop of Central and Southern Italy

Teatro del Mediterraneo

Workshop on Traditional Dances of Southern Italy, Teatro del Mediterraneo

To explore the diverse expressive forms of traditional dances from Central and Southern Italy, identifying shared elements linked to the heritage of the tarantella. From the dances of the Gargano to the salterelli of Central Italy, from the music for dance in southern Calabria to drum-led dances in Campania, the workshop brings different traditions into dialogue, allowing a common ground to emerge.


The event is part of Urban Regeneration, a three-year project developed within the “Welfare a KM Zero” program, promoted by Fondazione Caritro and Provincia Autonoma di Trento, in collaboration with the Consiglio per le Autonomie Locali and Fondazione Franco Demarchi.

The project involves Oriente Occidente, OHT (Office for a Human Theatre), ATAS, and Gruppo78, with the support of the Comune di Rovereto, the Comunità della Vallagarina, and partner Maffei Service.
