During her studio classes we will focus on the principals and techniques of contact improvisation and how they lead to playful physical co-creativity in duet, trio and group situations. We will create a respectful environment to deepen our understanding of skilful touch, proximity and degrees of weight exchange to (further) clarify and deepen our joy and interest in improvised dance. Francesco‘s teaching is based on principles from Aikido, Tai Chi – Push Hands, Chi Kung, contact improvisation, partnering, instant composition and body work. During his studio classes we will focus on the practise of partnering starting with basic Push Hands Tai Chi. We’ll practice grounding, spirals and flow into movement, intention, connection centre-extremity, moving without effort, exploring different kinds of touch and weight, tuning with partners and environment, energetic massage, enjoying the unknown. During outdoor sessions we will focus on our relationship to the natural landscape of Itria Valley / Trullo’s valley: ancient olive trees, rocks, Apulian red earth, the sea, wind, light and shadow. We open ourselves to a different sense of space, time and relationship and explore how that can be a resource for our dancing. Some evenings we will perform for each other to share our practices and findings of the workshop. It will be a week of intense artistic study in the studio and the surrounding land & a sunrise trip to the sea. To fully appreciate the beauty of this part of Italy at the end of summer we recommend to add a few days of holiday somewhere around Itria Valley or at Casina Settarte itself.

Durante le sue lezioni in studio ci concentreremo sui principi e sulle tecniche della contact improvisation e su come questi portino a una giocosa co-creatività fisica in situazioni di duetto, trio e gruppo. Creeremo un ambiente rispettoso per approfondire la comprensione del tocco sapiente, della vicinanza e dei gradi di scambio di peso per chiarire e approfondire ulteriormente la gioia e l'interesse per la danza improvvisata. L'insegnamento di Francesco si basa sui principi dell'Aikido, del Tai Chi - Push Hands, del Chi Kung, della contact improvisation, del partnering, della composizione istantanea e del lavoro sul corpo. Durante le sue lezioni in studio ci concentreremo sulla pratica del partnering partendo dal Tai Chi Push Hands di base. Praticheremo il grounding, le spirali e il flusso nel movimento, l'intenzione, la connessione centro-estremità, il movimento senza sforzo, l'esplorazione di diversi tipi di tocco e di peso, la sintonia con il partner e l'ambiente, il massaggio energetico, il piacere dell'ignoto. Durante le sessioni all'aperto ci concentreremo sulla nostra relazione con il paesaggio naturale della Valle d'Itria / Valle del Trullo: ulivi secolari, rocce, terra rossa pugliese, mare, vento, luce e ombra. Ci apriremo a un diverso senso dello spazio, del tempo e della relazione ed esploreremo come questo possa essere una risorsa per la nostra danza. Alcune sere ci esibiremo l'uno per l'altro per condividere le nostre pratiche e i risultati del workshop. ___ Bio Francesco Zita, founded Casina Settarte with Germana Siciliani in the early 90’s.
