The roots of a Practice - to peace-warm up the soul

The Roots of a Practice - classes with Alessandro Rivellino, to warm up the soul, at Siam, KPG, Thailand. 15, 16 of February . . . . . Description: What are the bases of this practice named Contact Improvisation? What works for me to take a step aside in order to dance and life forces be able to show its entanglement? . Gravity, how to embody this force? It relates with falling-flying, with yielding, with parasympathetic systems, with weight, direction, piezelectric muscular system and skeleton system? Momentum, how I join gravity and let it empower my movement? Listening, can i tune with other and have same mind, or attention, for a moment? Body, what a body can? Time, is that thing we measure with a clock? Or instead, it is rhythm, pulsation, movement, perception? Space, where it begins and where it ends? Where is the sound I listen? With this, and the mystery, with attention and what is behind it. Through myself and others and the environment, can i empower the presence by landing my attention with it? Do I dance or am I danced? Does it matter? ... And then... How to open the field for dance to teach us and take us, with trust and safety, into the unknown? Lets keep these questions alive at this intensive, and enjoy our process in between past and future. . . . 15, 16 February 2025 10 am to 1pm Contribution: 2330 BHAT Limited spots : ) registration: [email protected] BIO My name is Alessandro Rivellino, to recognize myself as this name would be too limiting or not enough. I will be in the role of teaching, so I know that I have a response ability to share and hold space for others to learn. I believe in what I do, which means that I do something inspired by something else with no name for it. You are welcome, as you are, with whatever is happening in what you could call yourself, today. That said, I will go for what I mean (making mine the words of a master of words): "Listen to me, listen to my silence. What I never say is the thing that I do say and also another thing. Grasp that other thing which I really said, because I myself cannot." (Clarice Lispector) 🙏🩵 . . . . . . . . . Well, if you have time and wish to continue reading: It is already 20 years that I have worked with this thing of writing a Bio... I think the most significant ones was those who made clear that is not about myself, exactly. I keep asking and forgetting. What should I say there? That I wish to be human enough to be able to listen to the others? That I am interested in the lifts of the corners of the mouth? That I dance and teach, and I am danced and I serve as a vessel, that I trust in something that could be called the Big Mystery? Or... That I have experienced enough to start with not knowing with certain quality? That I had wonderful teachers and colleagues with whom I learnt? And that I devote my life for teaching and dancing? That I have awards and nominations, a master's degree, that I have thought in more than 30 countries for hundreds of people? That I have studied a bit of: BMC, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, Antigimnastics, Craneosacral Osteopathy, modern dance, contemporary dance, choreography, performance studies, sitespecific, Authentic Movement, zen buddhism, ancient technologies of the sacred; and a lot of Contact Improvisation? That the most significant experiences in life I just cannot write over here? Or... That I believe in something called friendship? That I don't have kids, so I know nothing about life yet? That I am passionate now as I was when I first got in touch with dance in this life? That I still write but I listen to what is beyond, before, and behind words? Or even... That I really hope that through this illusion of you and I being separated, we can drop it, and go beyond our hanging names to explore the in-between field of existence to dance and be danced with and through the visible and invisible forces entangled at each single moment and find the way to be at the arch of beauty? Or instead, maybe I could simplify and say: "The dance is the teacher, the teacher points to that" ? (Steve Paxton) . . . : )
