THE BODY DOESN`T LIE

Bewegungsworkshop mit Francesca Romano

A transversal practice that embraces, is inspired and uses elements from different movement disciplines like dance, Khala Yoga, Play Fight, CI, martial arts, somatics.
In a world that bases the life on rational and rigid rules, where we want to define and analyse everything and where Nature, Intuition, Soul, Dream, Feelings are concepts so often devalued and misunderstood, I feel the need to propose a journey for Humans that are not ready to give up.
The workshop will take inspiration from the four elements (Earth, Water, Fire and Air). Each element contains in its nature different qualities of movement related to particular energies, emotions and inner states, all already present in our being. The elements will lead us to connect, move and play alone or with the others from different perspectives and sources. Using the language of fighting we will awake awareness in our bodies and minds in order to learn to act from a point of consciousness. The desire is to look beyond our defined identity through playfulness and the interplay between confrontation and cooperation. Finding ways to re-discover our true nature, how we move, what we feel and (re)connect these elements that naturally communicate with each others.
The wish to “explore” defines an open and alive approach to ourselves and the commitment to dive into the unknown without fears and expectations. This precious state is called “the beginner mind”. We are ready to let us be surprised from what will come out.

FRANCESCA ROMANO started her studies in dance and movement since she was a child with Artistic Gymnastics and modern dance. In 2005 she graduated at the School of Drama Paolo Grassi (Milan) where she studied Dance theatre, contemporary dance, choreography. Over the years she continued her researches on dance and movement through different approaches like Contact Improvisation, Release, Improvisation and Martial Arts meeting beautiful teachers that inspired her to go on and go deeper in her studies. Since 2013 she approached some practices based on Martial Arts (Khala Yoga with Diego Prodi – Indio – from Italy and Play Fight with Bruno Caverna) that changed completely her perception of movement and since that moment she started to look for more clear and deep connections between body mind and energy. She works as free-lancer as performer, mover/dancer, choreographer and teacher. She is now collaborating in the team organization and as facilitator of the Play-Fight practice with FormlessArts and with the Khala Yoga Association.
