Corpo e paesaggio – movement workshop by Lorenzo Morandini addressed to local dance schools
Corpo e paesaggio is a practical experience of expressive and free movement. During the workshop, we will discover the pleasure of moving outdoors, activating body and mind through individual and group exercises. The aim is to encourage participants to gain greater self-confidence, giving their body a dynamic and creative approach together with different natural elements of the landscape. Following specific tasks, we will interact with surprising landscapes inside and outside our body, together with music and natural sounds which re-awaken those sensibilities that in the hustle and bustle of everyday life we often forget to listen to .
