Teachers/School staff Testimonials:

• Laura Alici and Roberts Concettoni: “Thanks to the Perfect project, extracurricular topics in the arts, humanities and dance are treated with greater attention and involvement. Students are stimulated to find useful sources for a final product and collaboration between teachers and students is promoted. Each work, be it a text or a painting,  is integrated with dance.”
• Alba Tiberi: “Proposing and planning activities in line with the educational and didactic function, but alternative and fruit of comparison between Nations, arts, and cultures, has been truly stimulating for me and my students. We tried to listen and observe in a different way to focus and activate concentration and intention through the performing arts.”
• Valeria Baresi: “Creating a cultural product from a comparison of different countries, cultures, and histories helps not to take for granted what one has imagined and at the same time not to stop at the first intuition. The work in progress, the possibility of reshaping what is outlined over time is a challenge that is stimulating and productive on a creative level.”

Students’ Testimonials:

• Emidia Cacciani: “Until now, I had never done an Erasmus project and I didn’t think it was so interesting, innovative, and curious. Having the opportunity to express myself and to relate to people from other countries has been like travelling without having travelled”
• Viola Pollonara: “I have really enjoyed this experience, especially because starting from the simple characters represented in the paintings, we went beyond the action they were performing by imagining a real choreography inspired by them. It was like seeing a work of art come to life.”
• Alisia Businaro:“Learning to observe was a nice challenge. Creating a performance to bring characters to life so not only interpreting but also devising was a totally new, fascinating, and very liberating opportunity.”
