Play Attention | Practising Attention is a pathway designed to foster in participants a state of possible attention and listening through simple bodily exercises and a number of video, verbal and image-based supports. It is an attempt to interest children in the practice of Portuguese choreographer João Fiadeiro’s Composition in Real Time. Play Attention is an invitation to wait and to play in silence. With our body we experience shared responsibility and take time so that something that no one had expected can emerge, discovering that “within the square you are the centre of attention, which is different from the periphery” and that “improvisation is changing your mind when you meet someone else”, as two nine-year-old children remarked in the course of a workshop.

 

Alice Ruggero (Bologna, 1985) is a dancer and performer. Over time she has become convinced that dancing means moving in the world and among others. She considers border areas to be fertile and loves to find herself out of context, to reshuffle the cards. Her research feeds on work for and with children in the theatre (Volumi, 2019, with Tommy Ruggero; BiancaNera, 2012, with Bintou Ouattara), in schools and at PianoTerra, the seat of QB Quanto Basta of which she is a founder member and for which she has curated several projects, including the retrospectives FOP! | Piccoli passi da gigante (2018-2019) and Lapilli | Momenti per crescere insieme (2021-2022). In parallel with all of this, she pursues her artistic research and creation (Morsetto/Come un pezzo di pane, 2019-2021, with Leo Merati; Rivoluzione, 2018, with Lucia Palladino) and collaborates with other companies on various different projects (Aporie, 2020-2022, with Dehors/Audela). In the summer she works in alpine pastures where she learns from the animals that teach us unwittingly and where she manages to separate the truly pressing from what we simply feel pressured into doing.
