IN SCENA! ITALIAN THEATER FESTIVAL NY is the first Italian theater Festival to take place in all five NYC boroughs. It was created by KIT - Kairos Italy Theater – and KIT Italia together with Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimo’ at NYU in 2013, the official Year of Italian Culture in the United States. In Scena! presents – each year – a survey of the best Italian Theater, from Italy, in New York. It features full productions that have already toured in Italy as well as readings of Italian plays in translation, workshops, lectures and exchanges between Italian and International artists. Its goal is to promote greater awareness of Italian theater and Italian artists among New York theatergoers, and to build a bridge between the artistic scenes in Italy and New York, so that they may each support and inspire the other. Over the years, In Scena! has been supported by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of Italy in Washington D.C., the Italian Cultural Institute in New York, in Los Angeles, in Toronto, The Consulate General of Italy in Detroit, Bernie Wohl Community Center at Goddard Riverside, the Calandra Institute for Italian American Studies, BAAD-Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, Culture Lab LIC, Casa Belvedere Italian Cultural Foundation, Snug Harbor Cultural Center and the College of Staten Island – among many other partners and institutions.

Presents: ATTENTION LAB

FEBRUARY 17, 1-4PM, @Last Frontier NYC

The Attention Lab is a workshop on collective strategies for the liberation of human attention. Through group attention practices and guided discussions, we explore collective responses to our shifting attention ecology, with a curriculum that draws on a wide range of visual arts, performance, scholarly, political and spiritual traditions. Since 2022, we have facilitated Attention Labs for over a thousand participants in the United States, Spain and Brazil.

Labs are free, but require registration.
