As duets we will work on: finding and moving in space through the common axis, the centripetal and centrifugal dances, accepting and enjoying the challenge of the common out of axis, creating small “flights” using the out of axis movement of the duet.
The focus of the workshop will be on how to enrich our dance, enrich our creativity and dance in a more playful way.

Barbara Lucarini. I discovered Contact Improvisation 27 years ago while studying in Vienna with Randy Warshaw and Andrew Harwood, who I followed for a few years.
Since then, I was studying and been inspired by master such as Nancy Stark Smith, Julian Hamilton, Martin Keogh, Ray Chung… just to name a few of them.
LThrough out my career as a performer and teacher I have been integrated CI into my work.
My career as a dancer started 30 years ago while living in NYC, where I was introduced to Release Technique and Klein technique. I have been dancing with a few modern companies such Senza Nemo Dance, Linda Diamond among others
Coming back to Rome I founded “Komic-Co dance company” where I was able to develop my own work, creating full length pieces such as Duetti per Colazione, Lamore Ballordo , Viaggio Indiscreto, Tra me e me.
The multiple sides of Contact Improvisation are what makes it so attractive to me.
The form itself brings a sense of completeness within my own research in life as much as movements and awareness tools as a different way of communicating and relating instantaneously into the moment. The ability to be in the moment, to be sincere and true to yourself, the awareness of the other and what we create together is what makes the improvisational aspect of it, deeply interesting and foremost challenging.
I have been teaching CI in Italy for the past 25 years.
Co-founder of RomaContact, which is a collective of dancers whose aim is to promote the practice of CI through workshops, jams and performances. I have been organizing international Jams in Rome.
I was invited to theach in many European festival.
In the meantime I became a dance therapist and a psychologist and I started to work with the organization call CeIS which runs a recovering program for drug addicts.
Within this program I operate as a dance therapist using also CI as an instrument to develop awareness
Theme of the workshop of Barba Lcarini Creativity in the present moment
How to be truly present? How to make each dance unique? Every encounter fully aware?
In this class I would like to deepen on the practice of listening to ourselfs and the “others”.
Through exercises with eyes closed that allow us to extend the perception of the sense organs, I would like to focus
the attention on the quality of the touch, on the use of space, rhythm and imagination. We will work in pair
and in trios, we will be the observers and be observed, giving life to a conscious and creative dance in continuous evolution
