This workshop invites architecture students and professionals to engage in a hands-on exploration of how to translate architectural space through bodily experiences.
How can we distort the relationship between structural elements, thus recreating new spatial and choreographic functions?
Through a series of collaborative exercises and discussions, participants will explore various methodologies for redefining space and its design vision.
This workshop not only aims to expand the participants’ creative vocabulary but also seeks to cultivate a deeper understanding of how architecture is an experience and how movement can serve as a valuable investigative tool in the design process.
How can we interpret the spaces of the built environment to grasp all its aspects and acquire new design possibilities?
A series of meetings aimed at making fluid a historical-traditional context where we can explore otherness and inhabit the emptiness of our actions.
The dark room, like theatre, is a magical place where stories and unexpected emotions can arise from a single moment. This workshop will explore the translation of photojournalistic images into physical actions, inviting participants to interpret the story, reinvent the present, and reclaim reality through a physical and sensory perspective.
For a photographer, this practice represents a unique opportunity to go beyond the visual surface and delve into the tactile and physical dimension of the image, experiencing the narrative power that the body can evoke. Embodying the image allows for exploring photography from a new perspective, where light not only defines but becomes a living matter that transforms and disintegrates through movement.
The approach to composition is not immediate – it’s not a simple imitation of the image – but develops through a rhizome of gestures, where each action creates a dynamic dialogue with the space and with the images themselves. This process allows participants to project the image into a living relationship with the exhibition environment, expanding the understanding of visual meaning and the body as an artistic medium.
A research investigation towards a body-logos that does not tend to be realized in an aesthetic and that always reveals itself in statu nascendi: without memory of method. We will be called to assist to the shipwreck of the word to lean on the border between acting and reciting. Through different environments, situations and conceptions we will face the enigmatic necessity of the word to become flesh. The course offers the possibility to find in other languages the research path that will lead the actor to acting. Through dance and in a multidisciplinary perspective, we will try to discover how to find a personal truth to the questions that the text proposes in order to interpret it at its best. In the action of translating, nuances will be lost or acquired, but the challenge, even on a social level, is to learn to look at loss as something positive. The good encounter between different languages always requires a loss on the part of both, and a good interpretation requires the renunciation of a part of personal expression. In the work we will learn to be available, in a space where we can try to give up part of our pretensions of explanation and understanding, in order to be changed by that text, that work, that language.
