MusALab – Museo Archivio Laboratorio Franca Rame Dario Fo (ITALY)
https://www.comune.verona.it/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=54145&tt=verona_agid
http://www.archivio.francarame.it/
Inaugurato il 23 marzo 2016, il MusALab è ospitato negli spazi dell’Archivio di Stato di Verona e costituisce un patrimonio di straordinaria rilevanza che ripercorre oltre novant’anni della storia del teatro e della cultura italiana, composto da copioni, manoscritti, disegni, fotografie, dipinti, manifesti, libri, articoli, costumi, pupazzi e scenografie. Di arti e mestieri del teatro, del cinema, della pittura, della televisione, della radio e della canzone, sono conservati materiali raccolti dalla “Famiglia Rame”, antica compagnia di giro da cui nacque Franca Rame. Grazie a lei, si è protratta ad oggi l’arte di conservare e comunicare materiali che, in prima istanza servivano agli stessi artisti per il loro lavoro, ma che costituiscono oggi una ricca testimonianza di uno spaccato della storia dell’Italia. Le finalità del MusAlab perseguono, secondo le parole di Dario Fo, «[…] un’arte diffusa che arrivi ad aprire le porte di ogni città, usando il teatro e lo spettacolo per l’incontro e la conoscenza». MusALab intende far rivivere questo patrimonio attraverso attività e iniziative dirette soprattutto ai giovani delle Scuole di ogni ordine e grado fino a raggiungere Università e Accademie.

CENTRE (CEntre de Recherches sur les Cultures et Littératures en Europe), Université de Lorraine (FRANCE)
http://cercle.univ-lorraine.fr/contentId%3D8668
L’activité du CERCLE, installé à l’Université Nancy 2, initialement consacrée à la recherche comparée sur les littératures d’Europe centrale et orientale, s’est élargie. L’équipe s’est élargie en affirmant sa vocation pluridisciplinaire et en intégrant à ses travaux des historiens, géographes, spécialistes de théâtre, de cinéma ou de musique. Le GREC (Groupe de recherche sur l’Europe centrale), prédécesseur du CERCLE a eu un rôle pionnier dès les années 1980. Il a lancé l’idée d’Europe médiane et a largement contribué à ce que les dimensions politiques, historiques et culturelles soient associées. Le CERCLE a affirmé sa vocation pluridisciplinaire et devient de plus en plus un Centre de recherche sur les cultures et littératures d’Europe centrale et orientale plutôt que sur les seules cultures littéraires.
Centre National du Costume de Scène, Moulins-sur-Allier (FRANCE)
www.cncs.fr
The National Center of Stage Costume is the first preservation structure, in France or abroad, to be entirely devoted to the material heritage of theaters. The project originated in 1995 when the Ministry of Culture and Communication solicited the major national institutions, the National Library of France (Performing Arts Department), the Comédie-Française and the National Opera of Paris to constitute the first collection made up of 8500 costumes for the opening of the CNCS. Even if stage costumes represented a most important heritage in terms of expenditure and property for the theatres, there had never been a real policy of protecting them until the creation of the center. CNCS mission is the preservation, study and valorization of a heritage collection of 10,000 theater, opera and ballet costumes in addition to painted stage sets, provided by the three founding institutions of the center, the National Library of France, the Comédie-Française and the National Opera of Paris. The center has also received numerous donations from artists and theaters. The National Center of Stage Costumes and Scenography houses a collection of painted canvases, decorative elements and stage machinery (chassis, lifting equipment, masts, praticables, tools) dating from the middle of the 20th century.

Russian State Institute of Performing Arts (former name Saint-Petersburg Theatre Arts Academy), was established in 1779 and is the oldest and largest institution of its kind in Russia that trains and educates every possible professional needed in the field of contemporary theatre. During over two hundred years of history, the Institute evolved from realistic traditions of the Emperor’s Theatre School to Vsevolod Meyerhold’s workshop, world renowned stage director and faculty member of the Institute in the late teens of the XX century. Nowadays the Institute’s principal approach is mainly based on Stanislavsky System, especially Method of Physical Actions and Method of Action Analysis; system of actor’s training also includes Meyerhold’s Bio-mechanics. Thus, with true respect for classical school – a distinctive feature of Saint Petersburg’s cultural landscape overall – the Institute manages to combine it with contemporary innovations based on main achievements of the Russian theatre in the 20-21st centuries.
