Theatre No Theatre began the year in Milan, Italy, with “Percorsi Nomadi,” featuring presentations, closed sessions, workshops, and discussions throughout February and March. Closed sessions with Regula Contra Regulam and notable figures like Marco De Marinis and Eugenio Barba enriched the experience. Additionally, meetings with students and teachers from the Accademia dei Filodrammatici and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera were held, as well as a Round Table Discussion on "Percorsi Nomadi” which included Thomas Richards and other esteemed guests.

 

In February and March, in between the two editions of “Percorsi Nomadi,” Theatre No Theatre traveled to Wrocław, Poland for a creative residency which focused on the development of The Inanna Project, holding an Open Rehearsal. Concomitantly, the general public was invited to Open Singing Sessions.

 

From April to July, the first phase of “Across-Asia: Voices Unveiled” (2024-2026) was completed. This year's segment, “Exploring Artistic Landscapes: Resonant Voices,” was met with enthusiasm, participation, and support. Theatre No Theatre toured Macao (China), Hong Kong (China), Singapore, Kajang (Malaysia), Chiang Mai (Thailand), Taipei (Taiwan), and Seoul/Ansan (South Korea), where artists participated in masterclasses, workshops, and the general public attended presentations of The Inanna Project, Just A Little Too Much (in preview), and Songs.

 

Upon returning to Pontedera, Italy, in July and August, Threads of Creation, the summer intensive workshop, was held with 30 participants from all over the world.

 

Throughout the year, Jessica Losilla-Hébrail continued to lead workshops entitled, "Il canto vivo" in Milan – 6 in total! – culminating in an Open Rehearsal showcasing works in progress by participants, which was organised by Zero Teatro at Slap in October.

 

Throughout the first phase of “Across-Asia: Voices Unveiled,” new partners from various Asian countries emerged, and at the requests of these new partners and other long-standing partners, Theatre No Theatre formed and conducted a spin-off project in Asia, which ran from October to December, and was extended through January of 2025. Han! and The Inanna Project were performed at HKPAX – Hong Kong Performing Arts Expo in Hong Kong and at the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, respectively. The Inanna Project was also presented in Taipei, while Han! was presented in Beijing, Just a Little Too Much in Hong Kong and Beijing, and Songs in Hong Kong. Performances were often accompanied by a talk-back. In Hong Kong, Blank Space Studio organised Open Rehearsals of creative works in progress of artists who are participating in “Across-Asia: Voices Unveiled,” after a series of Theatre No Theatre workshops. All these activities are expected to lay the groundwork for the next phase of “Across-Asia: Voices Unveiled” (2025) entitled, “Confluence of Creativity: Nurturing Artistic Growth.”
