Title of the voice and movement workshop: “the power of the voice”
My research on the relationship between sound and body, between movement and vocal emission is focused on the discovery of the vibration of the internal spaces of the body, on the connection with the skeleton and muscles and on free vocalization during movement.
In a first phase of individual contact with the energy center through the breath and stabilization of posture and points of support for the emission of sound, the connection between internal vibration and emotions is explored with the aim of removing blockages and to achieve maximum spontaneity of voice and movement.
In a second phase of collective exploration of the circulation of sound in space and in the group, directionality and exchange are explored through improvisation with the aim of activating collective energy.
At this point the whole body vibrates, participates and rejoices in the act of vocal emission.
It is a work of body and voice on energy, on spontaneity, on listening, on the connection of skeleton and muscles and on the freedom to act in a global way.

Tema del laboratorio di Ippokratis: Making the unknown known – Esplorando l’inesplorato
In the past years, during the Jams I have observed that often the mind and the body find themselves in the situation of responding to the various stimuli in more or less the same way and being in a “comfort zone” with difficulty going further and experimenting with new ideas and new answers to the stimuli during the improvisation.
In this workshop, through exercises and games, we will explore various bodily, technical, spatial, emotional and sensory approaches to be able to get out of our habits and mental patterns towards greater freedom, creativity and rediscovery of ourselves through the renewed possibilities of moving, communicating , by re-knowing and re-exploring oneself through contact improvisation.
Laboratorio di TANTSU con Claudio Jalesh Petrassi
Tantsu combines the benefits of two ancient oriental therapies, Tantra and Shiatsu, with breathing techniques and with a deep listening to the body and its vital needs.
It is a global, gentle massage that stretches the muscles, massages the organs and strengthens the circulation of vital energy, restoring well-being, quiet, and true joy.
Tantsu brings back to earth the nutritive containment and movement associated with the breathing of watsu (water shiatsu), this practice gives the opportunity to enter into a shared meditation, through the dance that takes place between the body, the breath and the soul between who gives and who receives
