STEFANIA PETRACCA
                            dance      

An investigation on movement anchored to contemporary dance and based on perceptions and body awareness, mainly for the joy of experiencing movements in space, testing one's potential and individual expression.

The work results in a dynamic mix between listening, energic exercises and rhythmical steps regarding coordination. We align the body and dive deep into its physicality by introducing a specific somatic or technical task. We gradually unlock distinct tools and explore several variations of contemporary dance principles: weight, space, time, dynamics. We play with changes of speed and energy, spatial relations and projections, through different lengths of sequences and guided improvisation. The aim is to reach a dynamic state that leads body and mind into a fluent dance. The personal presence is engaged and liberated, expressing itself with its own specific language.
