Outcome of the dance workshop in the TRAJECTORIES/RECREATION program
Between choreographic and paedagogical research, the audience is invited into a space for experimentation where learning, exchange and creativity come together in a single practice.
An opportunity to draw closer in concrete terms to the work of choreographer Marco Torrice after five days in a workshop with a mixed group of professional and amateur dancers and actors.
Taking its cue from "Melting Pot", a practice of movement developed by the choreographer himself focusing on rhythm, combining different styles of dance and approaches to performance art, the workshop explores the idea of individual and collective “imagination”, and the various possibilities of sharing and participating in this imagination, through movement.
What is an imagination and what is its power?
How can one share, invite or guide others towards an “imagination” through the body and movement?
How can one follow, or participate, and support the imagination of another person or culture?
