In 2018 the Centro Maschere e Strutture Gestuali and Museo Internazionale della Maschera - Amleto e Donato Sartori started a collaboration with Manifesto Poetico where our students and contributing artists can access a scholarship at the Sartori's International Workshop: ART OF THE MASK IN COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE.

Sartori’s work has been a major influence on Carlos, who was inspired by their initial encounter in 1999 to begin his exploration of the Architecture of Gestures and the Anthropology of the Mask.

Carlos has collaborated with Donato Sartori as a movement teacher, actor, and translator at conferences and festivals internationally. He has also served as Laboratory Assistant for Donato during the annual seminar: Art of the Mask in Commedia dell’Arte.

CENTRO MASCHERE E STRUTTURE GESTUALI

Directed by Sarah Sartori

The Centro Maschere e Strutture Gestuali was founded in 1979 by Donato Sartori, the scenographer Paolo Trombetta and the architect Paola Piizzi. The CMSG is constituted as a multidisciplinary research group that engages in the study of the various ethnological, anthropological and spectacular aspects that involve the reality of the body mask or gestural structures, the mask of the environment or urban masking. The Center organizes seminars, exhibitions and performances in the United States, Canada, South America, Japan, China, Russia, Africa, Indonesia and throughout Europe. It also organizes the Seminar - International THE ART OF THE MASK IN COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE, a unique training opportunity for students from different countries, creating opportunities for cultural promotion of the territory.
