Unknown is a Good Thing. Contact Improvisation workshop W Alessandro Rivellino

How to remember what we don't know? Ancient people says that what manifests already exists in Dream. The invitation is to assume this part of life, which each of us is, and meet for dancing. How to offer a workshop where the dance is the master? We will share some guidance, in a way, bring alternatives, present material where the refreshed ongoing inspiration can tell us more. It is possible to invite ways, but to feel it, fully and completely... How to teach that? I invite us to bring our wholeness for the practice. Some people talk about weight. We can understand it as a force, let's say the relationship of the mass with gravity. So it is a relation, a meeting, like everything else. Physics says that the field tells the particles how to move, so we intent to open the field for dance to happen. Somatic cells, open senses, falling, flying. Is the same body who ate the breakfast the one that will be bowing to the floor before the practice starts? But then, something happens. Breath, flow, adventure, inner space, outer world. Enjoy, take care, forget what is already past, take yourself by the hand and let your feet come out of the social body, come to dancer body, synesthetic ways of learning and unlearn. One is more than one, two are more than two. I want to be with your bones, fascia, fascination, skin. We develop from there. ABOUT ALESSANDRO: Where is the intersection of dreamland and awaken realm at this big reality called Dream? Alessandro Rivellino? What to say? I have been living dance and contact improvisation in a surrendered way as a dancer for 17 years and as a teacher for 12 (if i do not count my childhood experiences) and I had the opportunity to travel to 15 countries, offering and having classes, intensive courses, workshops, residencies and Jams with different and experienced colleagues, which probably gave me a good "floor" to start with 'not knowing with certain quality' ... I have also organized, with more people, different meetings and festivals of this beautiful practice, in Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Denmark and Mexico. I come from different dance schools at the somatic level and movement research.Today I see that I have danced and taught a good part of my life and yet I feel that I have just started. In my practice I have been integrating various techniques and bringing the potential of dance to life. If I ask myself between my name and my body, the second one is the dearest, and if you ask about my deepest interest in dancing and teaching the answer would be around living questions related to dance itself, to the presence and to the Big Mistery. I Hope 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.
