Orizzonti del Corpo
Art/Dance/Virtual Reality
From November 12, 2021 to January 16, 2022
An innovative dialogue between dance and visual arts, joining artworks and performances, born from the collaboration between Fondazione Palazzo Magnani and Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto.
Il progetto mette in dialogo un percorso espositivo di arte contemporanea, a cura di Marina Dacci, con MicroDanze, installazioni danzate da uno, due o tre interpreti in spazi ridottissimi e della durata di pochi minuti, ideate dal direttore generale e della programmazione della Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto, Gigi Cristoforetti.
Tredici sono gli artisti contemporanei invitati: Leonardo Anker Vandal, Bianco e Valente, Fabrizio Cotognini, Antonio Fiorentino, Silvia Giambrone, Gianluca Malgeri, Matteo Montani, Mustafa Sabbagh, Vincenzo Schillaci, Namsal Siedlecki, Sissi e Giovanni Termini artisti italiani o che vivono da tempo in Italia che, in taluni casi, hanno creato appositamente per il progetto nuovi lavori. Le loro opere, per vocazione e assonanze, creano un dialogo aperto con le sei MicroDanze dei cinque coreografi: Saul Daniele Ardillo, Ina Lesnanowski, Philippe Kratz, Angelin Preljocaj, Diego Tortelli.
Oltre alle giornate di esecuzione live dei danzatori, il progetto si arricchisce ulteriormente, per alcune performance, con la fruizione virtuale immersiva grazie alla tecnologia Oculus che sovverte completamente la percezione prossemica tra spettatore e danzatori.
Il corpo, dunque, è messo al centro sia nella poetica delle opere d’arte e nelle performance sia nelle modalità di fruizione del pubblico.
The combination of dance and art is not unusual, but in this project further new elements are grafted in which the physicality of the dancers and the materiality of art are combined with an immersive virtual technology that allows the proxemics between dancer and spectator to be addressed with different tools. This project is conceived, from the outset, as an equal exchange.
Art, in this context, is not proposed as a ‘scenographic decoration’ of dance, but rather as an enriching element, a multiplier of evocations and suggestions that unfolds in a coherent parallel path. These reciprocities, made up of intersections and overlaps, of multiple visual and sound stimuli, generate resonances that encourage the visitor to live a powerful experience.
The six MicroDanze, as well as the artists’ works (some of which were created especially for this edition), explore the definition of personal identity and living space. Evoking and being able to keep the historical traces that are our indispensable mnestic roots; bringing contradictions and conflicts to light in a critical key, triggering processes of evolution, sometimes painful but liberating that tell about what we are like and what we could be like. Experiencing a claustrophobic suffocation, seeking protection and new balances, building different relational geographies that arise from the relationship with an anthropized landscape and from a style of view “closed” to fertile relationships with the environment and with others, opening reflections on how we live and where we would like to be.
The whole project, therefore, is oriented towards tracing the complex connections that run through us: from spirituality to rituality, from mythology to history, from social and environmental short-circuits in which the body, real or implied, is engaged in its pursuit of evolution, of seeking new physical and psychic spaces, embracing transformation as a cathartic element.
As varied as the expressions and perspectives presented in choreography and art are, it is the process of birth, liberation and regeneration that underlies all these mise en acte, enriched with a sense of ineffable mystery.

Art and the body. Choreographing space, designing time
Training course for teachers and architects
The Fondazione Palazzo Magnani offers teachers in-depth interdisciplinary courses on themes that change from year to year, depending on the current exhibition, through frontal lessons and workshops held each time by different teachers, scholars and experts. Aimed at pre-school, primary and secondary school teachers, the course aims to introduce them to the language of art and offer them interdisciplinary interpretations, highlighting the educational value of art and activating projects shared between the Fondazione Palazzo Magnani and schools.
The course, running from October 2021 to January 2022, offers a range of training courses including frontal lessons, workshops, guided tours of exhibitions and meetings with artists.

The body as a space of experience
The project starts from the theme of the relationship between body, performance and urban spaces, with a view to an entirely new and particular exploration of places hitherto known only through their natural and original vocation. Starting from the dialogue generated by the encounter between the MicroDances and the artworks of “Orizzonti del Corpo”, therefore outside the theatre and in a completely new context, we have imagined a path that allows people to experience differently the crossing of places in the city with a ‘look’ largely unknown: that of the body.
In particular, we will address the possibilities of site-specificity and public art in relation to dance and the interconnection with contemporary languages such as sound, microtechnology, dramaturgy and visual art in order to trigger participatory and inclusive creative processes that rethink city spaces, both indoor and outdoor, as performative scenarios and narrative subjects.
The aim is to create an active experience in which participants, both teachers and students, are involved, individually and in groups, in the creation of itineraries through spaces and their specificities.
In the first meeting, with the teachers, the different forms of site-specific and public art, from the past to the present, will be addressed, with analysis of different works and themes, to open up a wide project panorama where various disciplines and objectives find space.
The workshops, on the other hand, will offer a practical and direct experience of these processes starting from the particular identity of the place that will host them. The creative process will be the same for both teachers and students, in order to offer a common experience that will differ only in the diversity of perception and action of the subjects themselves.
DURATION 4 HOURS
