SYNOPSIS
This residency concludes a seven-month program with 18 participants of varying ages, from diverse backgrounds, and working in contexts outside the world of conscious movement or dance in the strictest sense.
Photographers, osteopaths, teachers, translators, managers, winemakers, doctors, chefs, set designers, therapists, copywriters, and coaches have engaged in a journey of embodiment, a process of body awareness, to bring greater presence, care, attention, nourishment, vitality, and acceptance to their bodies. The body, intense as matter and as energy.
The physical body we inhabit and the energetic body we occupy.
Throughout these months, they have worked with various teachers of different conscious movement practices and have learned to expand their vocabulary of expressive, free movement. They have learned to sense space, occupy space, and move within space. They have learned to pause and move when impulses arise.
They have learned to be in their own intimate landscapes, but also in the landscapes of relationships. In a pair, in a group, and in connection with everything that is larger than us and that includes us.
They worked on welcoming and seeing the parts of themselves that are most dormant or ignored. To notice how their breathing moves.
The three platforms they worked on were: Pause Presence, Orbit Orientation, and Echo Inspiration.
Each participant then chose one of these platforms to present a personal project in this residency.
How Embodiment, and in particular, how one of these platforms they worked on, has produced a real change in everyday life. How all this bodywork has had an impact on life off the dance floor.
Working on awareness makes sense for this work to be carried out. Into everyday life. What is that moves us in the dance studio also moves us in the kitchen, in the park, in the office.
In this residency, we will attend the presentation of these 18 projects.
Each participant has maximum freedom, only a strict time limit: 15 minutes.
The interesting aspect will be the personal creativity each participant brings to this project.
After receiving similar input, I will develop it according to my own personal feelings.
The embodiment training was created by ConsciousDanceItaly, an Italian association that promotes and disseminates conscious movement practices rooted in the 5Rhythms created by Gabrielle Roth.
