ABSTRACT

At the heart of these fonds are the work journals that Roberta Carreri started writing in 1974 when she arrived at the Odin Teatret. There are also other interesting documents, work material for the performances and Roberta Carreri's organizational and teaching activities. Carreri's diaries in Italian are not simply notes; they convey the vivid and detailed story of a very special professional life. They include descriptions of improvisations and Carreri's thoughts during the improvisations. Roberta Carreri was born in 1953 in Milan where she received a diploma in advertising design and also studied History of Art at the Statale. The work demonstration Traces in the Snow. It mainly contains administrative documents, contacts and contracts between Roberta Carreri and theatres or institutions that hosted the work demonstration, some "warm letters" and messages from spectators with their impressions.
