The workshop entitled Kidnapping – Episodio Roma is an invitation to explore some of Elena Giannotti's personal choregraphical pathways involving the exploration of anatomical spaces and chance inspirations. Practices of visualisation, listening and movement will be used along with the dreams of the night to track stories and pathways, and to surf within the body/space.
Who it's for: The workshop is open to everyone over the age of 18 familiar with listening to their body and with working on movement.
