The meetings are open to anyone who wants to bring their own experience of movement to the stage.

A work on composition as well as exploration and improvisation.

A process of deepening the dance gesture to discover its profound expressive potential.

The meetings will explore themes proposed by the choreographer and participants.

The work combines dance and theater, creating a unique style reminiscent of Pina Baush’s dance theater, where value is also given to the elaboration of everyday gestures, rendered as dance through rhythm and repetition.

The aim is to recover and enhance poetic value through precise and powerful movement dynamics.

Led by Paola Campagna, who has focused her attention and training in the arts for many years as a dancer (contemporary dance, Argentine tango), performer, and choreographer.

She continues her research into dance movement in different fields: as a choreographer, she has been working for years with her own group; as a teacher in several academies for professional actors and dancers (Cassiopea, Beatrice Bracco, Accademia Nazionale di Danza); and as a dance movement therapist and somatic educator, she works in clinical settings (mental health services, communities).

Her research revolves around the controversial theme of improvisation, which has developed over the years, contaminating clinical and artistic territories that complement and enrich each other in the development of a moving thought process regarding human expression. Furthermore, the choreographer’s gaze, through her compositional work, becomes the tool with which to read and transpose everyday reality. Her work on improvisation is further enriched by collaborations with jazz and baroque musicians.
