Bipod gives you the opportunity to attend a workshop by choreographer and dancer Francesco Scavetta. He studied at the National Academy of Dance in Rome. He currently leads, together with Gry Kipperberg (Norway), the dance company Wee, that, established in Oslo in the 1999, has become one of the leading companies of the Norwegian scene.The latest performances can be enlisted in the creative line of the post dramatic theatre, where the dance and the physicality exist on the same level, and with equivalent valor, with text, visual elements and sound installations. Parallel to the work with the company, he has been holding a teaching project, titled \u201cA surprised body\u201d, based on release technique and contact-improvisation, influenced by his experience as a dancer and choreographer and by his practice of tai chi chuan.<\/p>\n
Special Formula:<\/strong>The physical training aims at awakening our awareness and sensitivity and at creating occasions for discoveries. The workshop, after a first part dedicated to ground the principals of the work, will articulate through a series of investigations on the movement and structured improvisations, intended as a conceptual, but also physical and mental, challenge and connected with the process of the performance “Surprised body project”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bipod gives you the opportunity to attend a workshop by choreographer and dancer Francesco Scavetta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":362847,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-14993","directory","type-directory","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-workshops-and-classes"],"yoast_head":"\n
The basic class concentrates on centering and gravity. Activating the center, as engine of the movement, we will aim in letting the movement to cross freely, throughout the body, with isolation in the limbs. Harmonizing the movement with our breathing, we will release contractions in the joints, allowing the sense of the gravity to be a constant part of our awareness. We will work on emphasizing antagonists to our movement, to explore the suspension in the fall or the extension in the reaching, and to wide the transformations of the central body and the shifts in the dynamics.<\/p>\n
