BUTOH, ECOSOMATICS, AND AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT
We are two Italian artists and performers, Concetta and Alessia, coming from different disciplines and united to generate a common field of exchange and to forge a shared platform of creativity. During the walks, we will facilitate somatic experiences inspired by Butoh, ecosomatics, and authentic movement. We will be in dialogue with the natural environment that will welcome us. We will explore the sensation of being inhabited, of incarnating, of being moved by. We will value and create space for silence.
Throughout the days we will propose to explore how we are interconnected with all the rest of the living. Through somatic and movement practices we want to open dialogues with natural elements and their embodiment. To inhabit and to be inhabited, to move and to be moved. This experience is also an invitation to share inquiries, discoveries and insights, fostering a supportive and collaborative community. Through shared movement explorations, we invite participants to reflect on their contributions and aspirations for this collective endeavor.
You’ll also have ample leisure time to explore the mountain’s enchanting vistas, and serene landscapes at your own pace, enjoying the sparkling streams near by. Letting the Alps’ echoes guide our movements, we invite ourselves to slow down, listen, and truly feel the pulse of our shared experience.
There will also be free time to explore the mountains at your own pace and enjoy the sparkling streams and stunning landscapes. Note that during the workshop we will be mainly working outdoors, plus having one spacious hall to work indoors.
Additionally, there will be moments to cultivate your creative space. At the end of our journey, we will host ritual performances: a sharing and offering of our personal experiences with the group, as well as an offering to the mountains, the streams, and the land that hosted us.
