MARCO TORRICE | MELTING POT

from 3.00 pm to 7.00 pm
 
 

The workshop is based on the The dance practice of Melting Pot, an immersive and hybrid mechanism that combines different dance styles and approaches to performance. Taking its cue from this dance practice, which focuses on rhythm as a bridge offering multiple connections between people and music, the workshop will explore the notion of the individual and collective "imagination". What goes to make up the "imagination"? How can the "imagination" be shared through the body and through movement? How can we partake of the "imagination" of another person and/or culture? How can the "imagination" be transformed? What is the power of the "imagination"?
