Visioni del corpo: understanding contemporary art through auteur dance.
A “dancing encyclopedia” that speaks about the world through dance, placing the body at the center of humanity. A series of six cultural dissemination events that connects arts, movement, and current affairs, to address themes of psychological well-being, the relationship with the city, the future, and ecology, through an experimental cultural medium.
Nicolas Ballario, journalist, curator, and cultural disseminator, introduces the theme of the debate, which, moving between dance and contemporary arts, reflects on the body from a different point of view each time. Each meeting is divided into six moments, dedicated to the works of six artists chosen to explore the main theme: renowned faces of contemporary art, well known to the general public. Each meeting will be interpreted by a choreographer from the contemporary scene, who will translate the suggestions of the discussed works into dance with an original performance, specifically designed for the project.
Fifth appointment: Friday 15 November h 20.30 at Fonderia
Il corpo e l’altro (The body and the other)
Talk with Nicolas Ballario and Pablo Girolami
Choreographies by Pablo Girolami
Focus on Marcel Duchamp, Georgia O’Keeffe, Yayoi Kusama, Louise Bourgeois, Sylvie Fleury, Francesca Woodman
Pablo Girolami is a young choreographer who blends the imaginations and traditions of his various countries of origin and study (Switzerland, Spain, Italy). He will be entrusted with exploring the interaction between movement and material objects, substances, and different textures.
The fusion of bodies in art will be investigated, experimenting with materials, optical and perceptual illusions: the theme is indeed The body and the other, in a whirlwind of objects and textures, from Marcel Duchamp to Francesca Woodman.
The virtual dance that will be offered in VR is Shelter by Saul Daniele Ardillo: remaining on the theme of the double, the spectator will have the opportunity to establish a direct and strong connection with the protagonist dancer.
