25 – 27 June – A Surprised Body by Francesco Scavetta
Francesco Scavetta proposes a personal approach to contemporary dance, based on release technique and contact improvisation, influenced by his experience as a dancer, choreographer and as well by his practice of Tai Chi Chuan, that links a deep transformation of the body to delicate poetic of movement. A Surprised Body workshop focuses on centring and gravity; on awakening the internal and external supports, while allowing isolation in the limbs and flow in the movement. The research that led to the creation of the Surprised Body Project (the project that since its premiere in 2010 has been successfully presented in 27 countries) will ground the workshop.
Francesco Scavetta has developed a reputation on the international dance scene for his wildly inventive work, playful humour and subversive intelligence. In 1999, he co-founded the dance company Wee in Oslo with Gry Kipperberg, producing 22 performances and touring 37 countries. He has been leading workshops among others at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels and Impulstanz/Wien. He is the founder of Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts. https://wee-francescoscavetta.no/
