The workshop proposes research into expressive movement starting from the qualities of presence. Through improvisation we will explore the infinite potential of the body to grasp and develop impulses and its multiple expressive possibilities in relation to a space constantly to be defined and a time to be mastered. Work on the dramatisation of movement will guide us in the creation of compositions that have meaning and tension, that are legible and capable of communicating with the spectator on a physical, emotional and intellectual level.

Participants will have the opportunity to work on their own narrative framework, even a pre-existing one. The workshop is aimed at actors, dancers and performers with any level of experience and also offers the opportunity to learn more about the training offered by the Dimitri Academy.
