DESCRIPTION 🥰

Two becomes One

Connection, listening, adaptation as tools to create a dance in which the couple becomes a unique, creative and stimulating being.

A workshop focused more on the 'What to do' than the 'How to do it'.

Fascia and nervous system have a fundamental role in contact, listening and improvisation processes. The awareness of how these two systems manifest themselves in dance can bring new impulses and stimulating visions to enrich and make CI more interesting.

Creating a strong connection to perceive the couple as a unique, new and creative being, capable of suggesting and guiding individuals in a surprising flow will be one of our goals. The proprioceptive system will be our guide, our inner teacher, the wonderful river in which we will immerse ourselves in these two days.

In the workshop the contents developed in these articles will be examined from a practical point of view: LA CONTACT IMPROVISATION E LO SCALINO MANCANTE, “COSA FARE” E “COME FARE” NELLA C.I. and FASCIA E CONTACT IMPROVISATION.

BIO 🧬
Michele Marchesani

He began his work on the body in '96 through the study of Shiatsu, of which he is currently operator (www.fisioshiatsu.com) and teacher (www.shiatsu-shintai.it),

He taught with the Shiatsu-Shintai School first in Bologna and then in the offices of Orvieto (TR), Vasto (CH), Padua, Merano. Subsequently he deepened his technique studying ShinTai, the bands, the Chakras and the Activation of the Light Body (Light Body Yoga)

Satisfying his interest and his curiosity for holistic systems he approached with passion different disciplines connected to the body / mind.

In 2003 he synthesized the "Deep Touch", a body technique of movement and perception (www.tattointerno.com).

In 2004 he met contact improvisation, which he followed as a student, event organizer and in recent years as a teacher.
