\nRegistration here<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nA few years ago, Improv\u00e1vel Produ\u00e7\u00f5es, founded by choreographers Marcela Levi and Luc\u00eda Russo, set out with a series of questions that call for work to be done: how to embody, that is, materialize, in conversation with the poet \u00c9douard Glissant, the desire for \u201ca world of many worlds\u201d? What strategies are needed to disrupt the frontal architecture and unidirectional visuality of an Italian stage? How can we bridge distances without crushing the gaps, that is, how can we coexist with differences in a non-separatist way? What strategies are needed to sustain the continuity of collective research work, that is, how can we gain time?<\/p>\n
Loaded with these questions, in a gesture that seeks crossovers, we will share some fundamental aspects of the artistic issues that (dis)orient our research.<\/p>\n
In the first part of this workshop, aimed at professionals and students of the performing arts, we will practice the multifaceted nature of the body through the multidirectional conduction of bone masses (skull, pelvis, ribs, shoulder blades, calcaneus, and metatarsus), activated by the force of thrust and the pull of magnetization forces.
\nIn a second moment, we will dedicate ourselves to searching for and fabricating connections between subjects distant in time and space. Recognizing resonances and echoes, in the search for commonalities between distinct visible and invisible subjects, will help us weave this field of forces in tension. Assemble, disassemble, reassemble, disassemble, reassemble\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nMarcela Levi e Luc\u00eda Russo<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\nIn 2010, choreographers Marcela Levi (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Luc\u00eda Russo (Patagonia, Argentina), who have been active in the field of dance research in Brazil and abroad for over 30 years, founded Improv\u00e1vel Produ\u00e7\u00f5es in Rio de Janeiro, a platform for training, research, and creation. Levi & Russo are committed to a polyphonic direction in which different inventive positions intersect in a process that welcomes deviant lines, dissent, and internal differences as a constructive critical force, rather than as mutually exclusive polarities.<\/p>\n
With a repertoire that crosses dances, music, voices, and thoughts from different times and places, Improv\u00e1vel affirms contemporary dance as an expanded field of coexistence and critical thinking. Among its creations, c h \u00e3O, 3 contra 2: Psico Tr\u00f3picos, Fora de Quadro, and o que \u00e9 o coro. coro stand out, the latter commissioned for the 32 dancers of the Bal\u00e9 da Cidade de S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n

\nRegistration closed<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nIn this immersive workshop, you are invited to step into the liminal space where the body is an oracle, and movement a conduit for unseen forces. Drawing from somatic practices, improvisation, energy work, and divinatory traditions, Oracular Bodies explores how we can receive, interpret, and embody transpersonal messages beyond language.<\/p>\n
Through guided improvisations, trance states, and collective lucid dreaming participants will playfully engage with movement as divination-channeling impulses from within and with each other. We will experiment with energetic transmissions, vocal resonance, and spontaneous composition, using the body as a site of revelation.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nMeg Stuart<\/strong><\/p>\nChoreographer, director, and dancer who lives and works in Berlin and Brussels. With her company, Damaged Goods, founded in 1994, she has created over thirty productions, ranging from solos and duets to group pieces, video works, site-specific creations and improvisation projects. Stuart\u2019s work moves freely between the genres of dance, theater and visual arts, driven by an ongoing dialogue with artists from different disciplines.
\nThrough fictions and shifting narrative layers, she explores dance as a source of healing and a way to transform the social fabric. Improvisation is an important part of Stuart\u2019s practice, as a strategy to move from physical and emotional states or the memory of them. Meg Stuart has received many awards for her work, notably the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Biennale di Venezia in 2018, and she was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2023.<\/p>\n

Calling on his prophetic forebears Gustav Landauer and Octavia Butler to renew dance, Hennessy poses the questions: what inspires or prevents you from dancing more freely, especially with other bodies? What activates or impedes your healing potential? How is your body responding to the new wars, precariousness and bodily traumas? How can dance be activated as an anti-capitalist strategy, as a new ethics of relationship, pleasure and shared power?<\/p>\n
