Do you feel like stepping onto the stage? 

With Igor x Moreno’s free workshop you can be part of a group dynamic that is open to all ages, types of bodies, and performance experiences. An opportunity to explore your creativity and participate in the construction of a performance in a public space.

The idea

The workshop is inspired by celebrations related to seasonal cycles such as the carnival or orgiastic rites. The idea is to create a staged ritual. As in festivals related to regenerative rites dedicated to the Earth Mother, we will use movement and voice to release energy through a collective action that connects life and cosmos, order and chaos. The main instruments that we will use will be the body and rhythm. The images that we will evoke will be related to cyclicity and multiplicity. We want to celebrate the act of being together through a collective creation.

At the end of the workshop series, there will be a staged performance in Bologna as part of the Festival dei Portici.

How to participate?

• The workshop is free and has a limited number of places.

• It is open to all ages, types of bodies and no dance experience is necessary 

• For info and registration: laboratori@genderbender.it
