Trusting the silence – Leonardo Lambruschini

“Animals and trees teach how not to know, how to tolerate being in the world without the obsession to understand. They know how to surrender, they know and teach a primary and radical trust” – Chandra Candiani
During the intensive we will give space to silence to bring stillness into the movement and broaden the perception of what is happening.
Silence as a portal to a greater awareness of the present, one of the fundamental ingredients for those who practice improvisation.
We will explore different tactile qualities in the body and space, and how these relate to movement in the search for an authentic experience.
We will experience the sense of disorientation of the perception of space, time, and speed of movement.

“Gli animali e gli alberi insegnano a non sapere, a tollerare di stare al mondo senza l’ossessione di capire. Sanno arrendersi, conoscono e insegnano una fiducia primaria e radicale” – Chandra Candiani
Durante l’intensivo daremo spazio al silenzio per portare quiete nel movimento e ampliare la percezione di ciò che sta accadendo.
Il silenzio come portale verso una maggiore consapevolezza del presente, uno degli ingredienti fondamentali per chi pratica l’improvvisazione.
Esploreremo le diverse qualità tattili del corpo e dello spazio e come queste si relazionano al movimento alla ricerca di un’esperienza autentica.
Sperimenteremo il senso di disorientamento nella percezione dello spazio, del tempo e della velocità del movimento.

CONTACT SILENCE

info@contactsilence.it

CONTACT SILENCE retreats is a social promotion project of LIBERA MENTE APS association

We firmly believe that contact improvisation holds great potential on a social and communicative level and carries within it an unequivocal educational message. In addition to being the vanguard of the natural and authentic movement, it teaches respect for one’s body and the other, nourishing the fundamental need of the human being to physical contact, gives joy and well-being to those who practice it, reconnects man to his creativity and the primordial dimension of the game.
