Marisa’s theme workshop of 30 December – 2 January event:
From Sensoperception of movement to expression.
Developmental Patterns are part of Somatic Movement research field. These patterns weave the entire framework that sustains our body and movement. They develop from pre-birth, birth and throughout childhood. During the entire adult life we have the 
opportunity to revisit the quality of each pattern, to give our movement and dance greater functionality and therefore a more solid base for our expression.
We will embody and explore all these movement patterns to move till arriving at the spiral and the expression of the three-dimensionality of movement in space. Precision, clarity, playfulness and communication will be our tools to create dance with an open, creative and available body.

Marisa’s theme of the workshop of 5-8 January event:
Somatic Movement: the clarity of the dance
Starting point, direction of movement and quality of muscle tone are three of the elements that define our dance. We will start from the principles of somatic movement, focusing on the explore and self-knowledge of our structure. We will use exercises in duets, trios and other group formations where the contact will help us to clarify our movement. We will define points of departure, direction of movement and intention transformed into tone. All that will give a spatial and temporal quality to our movement. We will develop these elements with clear structures and guidelines. It will serve us not only as a pedagogical and explorative tool to expand the possibilities of our movement, but also as compositional scores. We will thus enter the field of Instant Composition, developing our creative and expressive qualities.

when is useful become light and when become heavy and how much heavy?
Wich is in every moment the proper way to use the gravity?
The objective will be to learn how to use the weight of each other to move together organically and effortlessly and how to create a fluid movement, enjoying a joyful and sparkling dance.
Theme of Ippokratis workshop of the 2-5 January event: “are you in axis?”
In this workshop we will explore a very important principle of dance and of Contact Improvisation, the use own axis and the axis of the duet.
As singles we will work on: Been in axis and centred, use the dynamics of been out of axis dancing with an out of balance movement. As duets we will work on: finding and moving in the space through the common axis, centripetal and centrifugal dances, enjoying the out of axis challenge, create small “flights” using the out balance duet movement.
The topic of the workshop will be about how to enrich our dance, enrich our creativity and dance in a more playfull way.

Theme of the lab of R.Bellatalla: “Found objects: workshop of sonic reinterpretation”
Bring an object with you that produces a sound (a bunch of keys, a book, a plastic bag, a jar) or we will find it on the spot. In the workshop we will be encouraged to listen with attention objects chosen randomly creating ways to play based on ergonomics, gestures and structured experimentation. Everyday objects transformed into sound objects. The sense of sound is related to interiority and is therefore able to evoke an instinctive and profound expressivity and an instant creativity. If you do not want to bring an object then you’ll be the object item-body. The trial will be accompanied by simple exercises and practices of movement, voice, spatial orientation, imitation and literacy.

Oscar Bonelli is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, conducts workshops of energetic singing and meditation on sound. He began his musical research 25 years ago with the approach to African dance.
Through the percussion he strengthens his contact with Mother Earth, planting his musical roots, from which he soon rushes towards a search for higher and subtle tones.
Along his journey he meets many masters (Francesca Cassio – Indian song; Nela Bagawath – Mumbay, Indian song; Tran Quan Gai – Vietnam, harmonic singing; Roberto Laneri – harmonic singing; Riccardo Misto – Nada Yoga; Giovanni Imparato – drum circle, etc.) from which he learns the 
techniques that, thanks to his strong artistic and soul sensibility, puts at the service of spiritual research. Oscar expresses his talent through his concerts in which he magically plays musical instruments that come from all areas and cultures of the world. Rare instruments that Oscar presents to us by fusing the sounds, with great skill, in a song that becomes prayer and momentum towards the divine.
