Humanity has unquestionably one really effective weapon\u2014laughter. As soap is to the body, so laughter is to the soul.<\/em> \u2014 A Jewish Proverb<\/p>\n \u201cTO DIE LAUGHING\u201d is an international educational forum for scriptwriting, which will take place in Bozhentsi (Bulgaria) from July 29 to August 9 this summer. The village of Bozhentsi is a traditional Bulgarian village and an architectural reserve. The participants will be housed in traditional 19th century houses. Other locations of the Camp will be Sofia, Gabrovo and the world famous abandoned monument of Buzludzha. <\/p>\n The forum is destined to students and young professional of all artistic fields and creative industries interested in developing their skills and knowledge in writing scripts for theatre, cinema, contemporary dance, and other cross-disciplinary and cutting-edge art forms. It will also allow the participants to meet future friends, partners and collaborators from all around Europe.<\/p>\n As the famous American comic actor and writer Sid Caesar said \u201cIf you have no tragedy, you have no comedy. Crying and laughing are the same emotion. If you laugh too hard, you cry. And vice versa.\u201d In the practical workshops of the program of \u201cTo Die Laughing\u201d the participants will explore the meeting point of the comic and the tragic.<\/p>\n Starting point of the practical work will be the visit of Buzludzha monument (often voted \u201cthe most surreal and weirdest abandoned place on the Earth\u201d) and the lecture and the exhibition curated by the Serbian philosopher and art historian Marko Stamenkovic in Gabrovo\u2019s House of Humor and Satire. The exhibition is called \u201cTo Die Out Laughing\u201d and it is a word play on the expressions \u201cto burst out laughing\u201d and \u201cto die laughing\u201d. It draws from a selection of visual materials from contemporary art across the globe and it addresses historically and culturally diverse interactions of seemingly unrelated phenomena with the aim to contest what is considered legitimate forms of knowledge. This visits and lecture will give material to work with during the workshops that follow: scriptwriting for theater, for documentary movies and for a physical approach to writing. The lecturers and the mentors are renowned and innovative practitioners from all around Europe who have been carefully chosen for this event.<\/p>\n The program of the forum will be open to foreign participants as all lectures and workshop will be in English.<\/p>\n One of the main goal of the \u201cTo Die Laughing\u201d is the materials created during it to become a base for future collaborations and productions in theater, cinema, dance and all sorts of possible cross-disciplinary projects.<\/p>\n The open call for participant is now on. Organizers<\/em>: Arte Urbana Collectif \u2013 Sofia, Museum of the Architectural Historical Reserve \u201cBozhentsi\u201d and the Municipality of Gabrovo.
