| WFF FESTIVAL 2007 SPEAKING OF LOVE |
|
“Do you want me to tell you something subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.”
Erica Jong
Love in all its guises and permutations. Sex, passion, romance, bittersweet solitude, sweeping, gripping emotions.
The Fourth International Women’s Fiction Festival in 2007 focuses on fiction with a heart, stirring novels that inspire hopes and dreams, a journey into the soul of women’s fiction...

BODY OF LOVE
The theatrical poetry laboratori ‘Body of Love’, is another course offered by the Women’s Fiction Festival together with the CINEFABRICA Association of Matera. This course is a welcome addition to the other courses, in order to round out the forms of expression of gripping emotions. Body of Love is a voyage into forms of theatrical expression using the body and poetry as the media to explore space and emotion and as a way to learn to work with others to learn to move your body in harmony with other bodies. Movement becomes words and words become movement. Poetry is expressed by gestures, actions and movements, imagination brought to life. |
