An elegy, a prayer, a liturgical song for all that is returning to the Earth, to be transformed. A communion with the spirits, an elemental way of being in the body. Whatever I am / let it be seen takes up the experiential dimension of dance, the central importance of what is ephemeral and cathartic. At a time when we are called upon to feel more than ever the crushing weight of what can no longer be, the artist turns to the body and its experience, anchoring a sensitive and necessary, transformative perception and starting with dance as an inexplicable, unjustifiable, perceivable and liveable and traversable practice. The work invites the audience to do the same: to traverse the exact moment of the performance by welcoming its offer of release.

Giorgia Ohanesian Nardin is an Italian artist of Armenian descent who practices in the contexts of dance and live performance. Her work manifests in video movement, text, choreography, sound, and gatherings and deals with the relationship between dance, divination, and writing; with geography and the opposite of belonging; and with the fetish for language, its politics, and its many frictions. Since 2018 he has regularly held Pleasure Body, a space for facilitating practices and conversations related to pleasure and rest.

A research that encourages seeing in intersections and pauses, pouring the invisible into the visible and playing with randomness. A project that brings in practices to train the right side of the brain, a reflection on gaze, visionarity and suspension proposed in the form of a hallucinated choreographic/performance device to confuse agent and acted, to overlap sight and vision. A system to put bodies at rest and discover alert minds, a call to exercise the capacity to imagine beyond, to gush futures. The dramaturgy flows intimately, unpredictably, without morality, without prejudice, without censorship, and is composed as reality and fiction flirt.

Michela Depetris trained between Italy and Spain in contemporary dance and visual arts. She works in performance contexts as performer and as author, situating her research in an open field in which every medium always leads to bodily practices and an expanded vision of choreography. She works with the poetics and politics of the body in the folds between performance, writing, sound, choreography, installation, video and more. She loves to design visionary and immersive environments where perception is activated and all bodies are at the center.

Fucking Pure is a solo, choreographic and performative object that defines its premises around the study of the saraband in danced and set to music form.The study of the two art forms does not take place by finalizing their staging and scenic form, but on the contrary separately and independently of each other. From the crawling step, typical of the saraband, to the basso continuo as a compositional detail, all elements are used for the creation of a danced and embodied tempo: not a reworking of the historical saraband, but a new dance of power.

Vincent Giampino, choreography-maker and performer, trained between Italy,Germany and Holland. His early works are shown in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands and, since 2018, also in Italy, where he presents his creations in theaters and festivals including Fabbrica Europa and Teatro Florida in Florence; Gender Bender in Bologna; Short Theatre, Teatri di Vetro and Buffalo in Rome. In 2021, he participated in the open field settlement of Live Arts Week X in Bologna. She has collaborated with artists, choreographers, musicians including Greta Francolini, Cristina Kristal Rizzo, Edoardo Ciaralli, Lady Maru.

Vasta is the research for the piece “Unravel,” by and with Lina Gómez, which delves into the power of ancestral and fictional heritage by vibrating through the voices and bodies of women of different generations. Lina Gómez returns to the stage after fourteen years with this work in which she reflects on cultural and dance practices and the persistence of the body in history. Inspired by her background in Colombian Afro-Brazilian traditions, Lina Gómez invites the audience to connect with this legacy and reflect on how it can once again create community and identity today.

Colombian-born choreographer, dancer and teacher Lina Gómez studied dance and theater in São Paulo and Berlin, where she currently lives and works. Her group piece “A Passo di Mulo” debuted at TanzfabrikBerlin in 2018 and was staged again the following year. Her work “Restraint” was presented in various spaces in Europe and was part of the European dance platform “Aerowaves Twenty19.” Recently, the development of her group work “Träumerei des Verschwindens” (2022) and the premiere of her latest work “Vagarosas” (2023) were hosted at Radialsystem in Berlin. As a dancer and performer, Lina Gómez has worked with Tino Sehgal, Yoshiko Chuma, Edson Fernandes and Jorge Garcia, among others. In addition, since 2015, the Goethe-Institut has supported her research residencies in Uruguay, India, Chile, Turkey and Japan.

Research project that aims at the overflow of individual processes within the margins of others’ processes, mixing, hybridizing and bastardizing subjects and authorships. The intent is to create a horizontal zone of analysis, confrontation and reciprocity where choreographers exchange materials, research, practices, works and objects of interest. The aim is to give space for a process of homogenizing the knowledge and perception of each other and their work, to grasp and name the foundational pillars and strengths of individual choreographic processes and artistic discourses. Foundational to the work is the operation of boosterage, i.e., dismemberment and relocation of different authorships in a fortified, empowered, exploded meaning.The attitude of exchange is one that defines the “how” and not the “what.” From an alliance perspective, one wants to grant oneself a space of self-curatorship, defined in boundaries of closeness, friendship, assonance. This apparatus arises from proximity and offers itself as a basis and support for the flourishing of new frequentations, connections and relationships in a shared and expanded temporality.

temporale is a performance project that investigates subtle phenomena, on the brink of perception, and materializes the restlessness of this present time. The dramaturgy is composed of emotional movements and meteorologies. Can a change of mood move the air, shift a chair, change the landscape? temporale is an ongoing search for transitions, for shifts. In a time dominated by full HD, low-definition entities – ectoplasms, condensed humors, gelatinous and sticky bodies that multiply over the duration of the performance – and backrooms are preferred: environments that exist only in the web, quasi-places that do not exist. In these endlessly repeated yellow rooms, something happened. But we don’t know what.

Calderoni-Caleo met in 2012 and began a joint project between art residencies, research ateliers and performances. Since 2017, they have been teaching at IUAV Venice in the Visual Arts Workshop. Starting with the Biennale College Teatro 2018 workshop, they gave birth to KISS (2019). For the Queering Platform of the Freespace West Kowloon in Honk Kong, they conceived the nomadic project SO IT IS. In 2021 they were part of Flu水o, for which they created the performative action thefutureisNOW? (Milan, Seoul, Shanghai). In 2022 they created the installation Pick Pocket Paradise for the exhibition “Espressioni confrazioni” at the Castello di Rivoli – Museum of Contemporary Art (Turin).They are associate artists of the Italian Pavilion of the Architecture Biennale 2023. In 2023 their latest performance work The present is not enough debuted in Hamburg.

A broad inquiry around and toward pleasure. A tendency, an inclination to search for a condition of openness, connection, rest, bliss and enchantment that can foster Pleasure toward self and others and question the situatedness of our bodies and their positioning in the world. In Placebo Dances we seek postures that are shaken by desire, that gently disrupt bodies and make them waver, to find an erotic closeness of our being in the world. Pleasure is here salvation in times of catastrophe.

The research of Flavia Zaganelli, dance artist and performer, is cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary. Her performance works investigate the mechanism of relationship in its changing facets. In 2021 she debuts in Danza Urbana with The Game We Play and creates INVISIBILIA thanks to the award of the Bando Abitante of Compagnia Virgilio Sieni. In 2023 she debuts with electrica /ecosi’stɛma/ at Spazio Kor. She is an artist selected for the Boarding Pass Plus Dance 2023 call for proposals for her new research Placebo Dances, hosted at Moving in November Festival (Helsinki) and Graner (Barcelona) in collaboration with Santarcangelo Festival.

The workshop starts from the research behind Missing Outs, a performance that addresses the theme of contemporary neurosis over what we consider “missed opportunities”: what we could have done, wanted to do or should have done, but for one reason or another did not come to fruition. The theme will be approached through the collective writing of texts, using as a semantic grid: the right answers not given at the right time, the hypothetical third period and uchronic stories. The medium of film dubbing will also be experimented with as a metaphor for attempting to take voice in a projection that is nevertheless not reality. Collectively it will be decided what, of the various experiments experienced, can be presented to the audience.

Performance:

• Thursday, April 17, h 21.00, Cinema Lumière in Pianezza (TO), as part of Progetto Zoran’s “Sguardi” season;

• Friday, April 18, h 21.00, Movicentro ZAC! in Ivrea (TO), as part of the “Morenica_NET” season curated by Tecnologia Filosofica and Associazione Andromeda.
