Workshop on bodily expression for teens aged 13 to 17 6 October – 3 November 2023
The workshop lays the foundations for body awareness work, a fundamental tool for getting in touch with your own physicality and emotions. It also enables you to acquire tools for listening to yourself and to others, both in a personal and spatial dynamic. Through exercises of listening to yourself and others, improvisation activities, at both individual and group levels, and
the study of gesture sequences, we will try to detect the bodily identity of each participant, the movement distinctive to each one, his or her means of expression, and then put everything into a dialogue to be held with the rest of the group in the specific workshop space.
A final performance is planned with free entry to the public.
In collaboration with Lara Riccio
