Silvia Gribaudi‘s works embody light-heartedness, irony and freedom.
The workshop is an experience of the poetic dimension that Silvia Gribaudi researches between the vivacity and presence of the body, where the cathartic dimension of humor and play are embodied in the expression of the body and of the gesture in each person.
During the workshop there will be an exploration of the vital body that alternates the ability to have fun with an equal attention to the movement technique. Through a proposal mixing contemporary dance training and clown, with a focus on the value of the fall, imperfection and mistake are considered as an expressive opportunity.
How to revitalize physicality with self -irony and the dynamism of dance and humor? How does dance bring the perception of the body and changes in this playful atmosphere?
