I can not understand with the personal resentment Fofi wanted to express a clear personal grudge against the university studies and music show, known as DAMS.
I speak of personal resentment, because the just criticism that can be made to the dams, they become an outlet where are restricted to the naive Dams, instead of broadening the spectrum and how to recognize the problems of a similar course to invest throughout much of the public university.
Fofi about a course of study was born as a bet intelligentsia '70s to modernize the education system that traditionalist who did not come to terms with the modern world. Too bad that even his sensible opinion on the failure of this bet will be led astray by the blind hatred:
" How is it that despite the good faith of the pioneers and energy of so many deserving teachers and artist-teachers, these schools have proved over time, a bluff? Their failure seems no doubt in terms of career opportunities: today Dams are one of the busiest factories unemployed or precarious. "
The failure of Dams does not reside here. What about the opportunities offered by a degree in Physics or Mathematics, or, to remain in the humanities, with a degree in literature, ancient or modern, which are, or even in philosophy? Why point out the disciplines of music and shows and skip the discussion on employment in other fields? The absence of a realistic chance of employment is only a consequence of a problem that is upstream and which is the true intent of the defeat of the Dams, to want to bring the university into contact with the contemporary world.
I leave you to read, in this regard, part a comment posted on the website of the Unit in response to altercations between Fofi Barilli and that, as expected, unleashed a flurry of excited reactions on other newspapers. A comment is Alex, a teacher and theater director Dams:
" I believe that the very structure of Dams has limits in its terms of purely theoretical. There is a problem of separation between theoretical and practical study. [...] I teach theater history as well as the Dams, including the Academy of Fine Arts, the course setting. Students of the Academy of Dams and those from an identical starting and colossal ignorance [...]. But the notions of history and history of the theater fell on a different terrain in the academies. There, the students know that one day will set design for film, theater or television, or at least tries. There, I know that they are there for this. Everything starts to become clearer. Attention, clearer, not easier. The complexity of the knowledge that I try to capture the students is the same, but the clarity on why they acquire it makes less empty words. The history, the images of the past connect to concrete materials and acquire knowledge of another reality. Even those who would appear to be related to these practical knowledge. In Dams often not the case, sometimes even the leadership of the University is doing everything because it does not, because there are no obstacles in labs. But the problem is not so much to do labs. Universities often organize them, but the knowledge exploded, not addressed, not connected with any product development, working of these laboratories Dams makes too disparate, non-organic ingeneranti confusion. Probably because the formation of the Dams to be more effective, it should find systematic connection with schools of art, with the Conservatives, with the schools of theater ... ".
The real problem the university and courses that claim to be modern as the Dams is failing in that they should get better, or make a bond with the company and the world of work. And I say this as a student of science of the show, by a scholar who has toyed with the confusion that inevitably generates in wanting to analyze a performance while ignoring how it is constructed. The clear distinction between practical and theoretical, and between College and University, has no meaning other than to fuel a substantial ignorance and alienation on both sides, than to continue to produce citizens and individuals essentially one-dimensional .
What I learned in all my years of study at the Dams in Lecce for three years, as in that of Rome to the Adriatic, is that the achievement in this field depends on education as a personal awareness of the teachings, initiative and the like. Ultimately the creation of a path on the fringes of the university that no one teaches you, but that is the way to the profound maturation of what you've learned, for me it is a road that began with the avant-garde movement of net.futurismo .
Only at this point I grabbed the complexity of these studies in the university remained know a charming but detached from any context. E 'was when I came into contact with the reality of artistic net.futurismo that the study has since acquired new depth has allowed me to fully understand the speech tests carried out garde.
