𝑨𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒐 𝑹𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒐 is very happy to guide us from a profound sense of silence and his signature somatic approach. He will offer contemplative practices and classes oriented to help us to dive into our contemplative potential, directing it into the embodied openness for the improvisational field of practicing Contact Improvisation.

We will meet for 5 days, where movement becomes the primary language of contemplative connection. We’ll research the 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 and the 𝑝𝑜𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 while deepening our practice in a community of CI lovers.

The Vision
Our Meeting will be a creative space for dancers with experience in CI who seek a deeper connection within their bodies while softly connecting to others. It’s a time to ground ourselves in awareness with silent jams, guided by the clear and sensitive presence of Alessandro Rivellino.

How to create space for a more effortless, conscious variety of dynamics in the dance?


***

This August, you’re invited to engage with sessions, internal movement explorations, and contemplative jams. At dedicated times, silence becomes a teacher, offering the possibility to enter the dance with a mindful presence.

Together, we will research:

- Proprioceptive and kinesthetic awareness in the dance
- A sensitive journey through somatic tools in a supportive and contemplative space.


∙ Jams will be without music or chatting. Voice will be welcome before it becomes a word, and words will be welcome if needed for safety. Outside of jams there will be time for sharing experiences and enjoying each other's presence, also through words.
