DISSENT – Choreographic Practices of Resistance is a performative project that investigates dissent as a creative, physical, and political force of the body. Within a choreographic context, dissent is understood as a conscious choice not to comply, to deviate, and to generate friction. Through somatic practices, composition, and Improvisation research, the project explores how the body can articulate disagreement, tension, and ambiguity, questioning norms, expectations, and hierarchies of movement. Particular attention is given to presence, exploring how focus, timing and awareness shape the way movement is perceived and communicated. The work grows from listening to both the individual and the group, and from the relationship between adapting and choosing one’s own way. Participants are invited to explore dissent as choreographic material through a shared research process, allowing movement to emerge from fragility, diversity and personal bodily experience.
Additionally there is the class Bodies in Opposition with Davide Troiani from 13.4 - 20.5.2026 | Mon & Wed 18:15-19:45
This class invites participants to explore movement as a space of choice, presence and personal interpretation, working with the body in relation to rhythm and space. The class begins with simple somatic exercises to awaken awareness, playing with weight and momentum to gradually warm up the body. It develops then into structured movement tasks and dynamic sequences that support coordination, strength and clarity, while rhythm-based exercises are used to stimulate focus and challenge the brain. In the second part of the class, guided improvisation creates space for individual expression within a shared group context. The class emphasizes on listening and experimentation, offering participants tools to expand their movement vocabulary and to engage in choreographic practice in an open and supportive environment.
