PRIMARILY SPEAKING nasce da un laboratorio permanente, Corpo Intuitivo 19/20 di Daniele Ninarello, e svela la fragilità dell’individuo tramutandola in possibilità, esplora un tessuto di suggestioni in cui l’esperienza umana si traduce in gesto, condivisione, comunità. Si articola quindi una ricerca che utilizza il dialogo interiore come espediente per transitare attraverso un pattern ritmico coreografico che rimanda all’identità personale in continuo mutamento, nel desiderio di danzare un autoritratto che si definisce nella relazione con l’altro.

Daniele Ninarello, dopo aver frequentato la Rotterdam Dance Academy, danza con coreografi, musicisti e compositori di fama internazionale. Dal 2007 presenta le sue creazioni in diversi festival nazionali e internazionali. Dal 2010 le sue produzioni entrano a far parte della rete Anticorpi XL in Italia e all’estero grazie ai progetti Les Reperages e Dance Roads. Kudoku, realizzato insieme al musicista Dan Kinzelman, ha debuttato alla Biennale Danza di Venezia 2016 ed è tra i progetti selezionati per AEROWAVES TWENTY17, NID Platform e il Rencontres Chorégraphiques Seine-Saint-Denis Francia. STILL ha vinto il Premio Prospettiva Danza 2016, mentre il progetto più ampio STILL Body Experience with Digital Brain è tra i vincitori del bando ORA! Linguaggi contemporanei _ produzioni innovative della Compagnia di San Paolo. Da alcuni anni collabora e crea lavori per compagnie italiane e internazionali.

A PESO MORTO / Lui, Lei, L'altro

02 October 2020 20:00 - Festival INTERPLAY Diffuso 20/20 incontra TORINODANZA / Fondazione del Teatro Stabile di Torino

FONDERIE LIMONE Via Pastrengo, 88 Moncalieri

A peso morto è uno spettacolo graffiante, una sorta di fotogramma di una periferia senza tempo e identità. La protagonista si sente una comparsa passiva di una città che non riconosce, di una periferia voluta, desiderata, ma sottratta a morsi nell’inutile e alquanto misteriosa nuova definizione di “Città Metropolitana”, che significa tutto e il suo contrario e che sprofonda nell’oblio… La città si “evolve”, si espande, dimenticandosi degli individui che hanno abitato le zone più marginali connotandole con i loro stessi tratti distintivi, con i dialetti, con le proprie memorie, le proprie rugosità. Corpi una volta protagonisti, ora pronti al crollo. Un microcosmo statico, stantio, rigonfio di vuotezza. La performance di Carlo Massari è uno studio open air sul vuoto della memoria perduta, sull’oblio delle cose andate. Che cosa resta? Corpi esanimi di eroi, re, caduti in disgrazia, malinconici e sognanti, in attesa di qualcuno che si accorga di loro ancora una volta. A peso morto rappresenta la pietas contemporanea con una fisicità che alterna lunghi momenti di staticità a improvvisi cedimenti, dinamiche e antidinamiche, distorsioni, disadattamento, sviluppando una profonda indagine sui cambiamenti e le dinamiche sociali.

C&C Company è un progetto fondato dai due performer Carlo Massari e Chiara Taviani. Il primo esordio della compagnia nel 2011 con Corpo e Cultura evidenzia sin da subito una forte vocazione per la ricerca di un linguaggio fisico necessario, fortemente drammaturgico, in stretta relazione con tematiche sociali contemporanee.
Ricevono negli anni prestigiosi riconoscimenti internazionali grazie a nuove creazioni: Maria Addolorata, Tristissimo (AnticorpiXL), 012, Peurbleue, Don’t Be Afraid, A peso morto. Parallelamente all’attività di produzione teatrale, prendono vita progetti formativi e performativi a partecipazione pubblica: ContaminAzioni, SpringRoll (RomaEuropa ’16), Femminile Plurale. L’importante progetto Beast Without Beauty ha ricevuto diversi premi nazionali e vede al suo interno l’alternanza di azioni sociali e produzioni in collaborazione con diversi partner Europei. La nuova produzione Les Miserables, selezionata alla NID platform 2019, è stato presentato all’interno di Interplay Digital 2020.

God Bless You riflette sull’enorme quantità di desideri che abbiamo‚ una moneta per ogni sogno che ci fa chiudere gli occhi e sperare‚ e allo stesso tempo riflette sulla figura dell’homeless come custode di desideri inesauditi. Trascina con sé bicchieri salvadanaio come fossero tante piccole fontane. Li dispone con cura muovendosi disorientato nello spazio da occupare e, per ogni tempo d’attesa, diventa figura di pietà pronta a ricevere desideri.

SPACE ODDITY

SARA SGUOTTI (IT)

18 November 2020 -

Off Topic interview curated by Simone Pacini via Pallavicino, 35 Torino

SPACE ODDITY is pure movement, is inspired by the influences of the surrounding world, lives from the relationship with space, time and the people who decide to expose themselves. A performance that was born for the public. Starting from the aesthetics of the place and getting to the intimate of the individual, it connects what is far away with what is close, invisible connections that live only on the imagination of the individual. Space Oddity changes with the place where it is located and with the people who live there, limited by “the five minutes of glory of solitude“, as the young choreographer Sara Sguotti likes to call them. An hourglass accompanies the performance, determining the creation and fading of relationships.

Sara Sguotti, dance artist, began her artistic career by attending Accademia di Belle Arti in Frosinone continuing her studies at the Academy of Florence. From 2012 she began to collaborate with the Virgilio Sieni Company as a dancer in the works Sonate Bach, Spring Exercises, Dolce Vita, La Mer, La Sagra della Primavera, Il prigioniero and 4 sacred pieces, Le Bagnanti, the new production Metamorphosis and in the various projects of the Accademia del Gesto and Venice Biennale Dance. In 2015 he worked with the Anton Lachky Company for Side Effects. In 2016 he began his career as an assistant to the movement for contemporary circus shows of the director Roberto Magro, with whom she created shows for the circus schools Esac, Codars, Flic. At the same time, she took part in the remake of the film Suspiria directed by Luca Guadagnino, signing the choreography in collaboration with Damien Jalet. In 2017 she collaborates with Cristina Rizzo for the production of VN Serenade. In 2018 she took part in the creation of Joye de Vivre by Simona Bertozzi. Her personal career begins with S. Rituale (duet version) S.SOLO (solo version), for which she wins the Corto in Danza award, a residence and production award at Cie Twain, the DNA call choreographic and debuts at RomaEuropa Festival in 2018. In 2016 she started the SA.NI. project together with Nicola Simone Cisternino. and with Tuttuno they are among the winners of the call Italia dei Visionari 2017 , the call Cura 2017 and selected for Vetrina Anticorpi XL 2017.

In 2019 she starts a research on the topic of “relationship with the public” with a solo called Space Oddity and collaborates with Jari Boldrini for the new creation of Nicola Simone Cisternino, Sobotta.

YOUNG BLOOD

ARNAU PEREZ (ES)

28 May 2020 21.00 live on youtube

Teatro Astra Via Rosolino Pilo, 6 Torino

YOUNG BLOOD. What does it mean to be young? Young Blood represents all those young people, that generation endowed with energy, creativity and involvement to develop new paths, which however society does not allow to thrive. We continually observe new currents, trends, new discourses of the “Young Blood” that are increasingly in line with the world in which we live … Why don’t they have power? This performance recounts the claiming of their position and demonstrating what it means to be young and belong to the new generations that will change the planet. Young Blood was awarded the best choreography at the 24th edition of Masdanza, won the Jury Prize at the 32nd Choreographic Contest in Madrid, gave the opportunity to the choreographer Arnau Perez to travel overseas and present a site-specific work in Washington DC and to participate in the American Dance Festival Choreographic Residence Program.

“We are this generation of young people with energy, creativity and involvement to develop new paths but that is felled by the mood of this society. Each one of us has much to say and claim in each place and environment. You are watching us. We are ready, but … are you?”

ARNAU PEREZ, is a dance artist born in Blanes, Spain. Graduated in contemporary dance by the Conservatorio Superior de Danza of Madrid. As a choreographer, his pieces have been performed all around the world, including tours in Southern Europe and Central America. He has choreographed for Jove Ballet de Catalunya (Barcelona), Laboratorio 180o (Madrid) and Company E (Washington DC).
His work is characterized by its dynamic content in relation to his urban background, which permits the staging of different skills and movement contrasts. In his creations, Pérez emphasizes the global use of the space together with the meticulous composition related to the concept of the piece.

“A lean, bony dance writing, an empty perceptual field in which you live in an unreal, visionary state. Score of gestures, movements, apparently simple but which bring back to the complexity of the work on the ‘presence’, on the performative act, on the perception of the nervous system at the expense of the muscular one. Amplify in choreographic writing natural phenomena that we tend to take for granted and make them visually as fields that border on a secular spirituality, a metaphysics of the body, a meditation pilgrimage. After the creation of Welcome to my world, dedicated to the idea of the end of the world, the occurrence of a new Apocalypse, I again take inspiration from the painful relationship of Man with Nature in contemporary society. Rethinking the work as a place of magic and loss of certainties. Giving space to an art of choreography that contains a rigorous, experimental technical component, through which to direct a reflection on the world in which we live. Once the paradigm of postmodernity is exhausted, the appearance of a New Man is assumed, facing an archaic, tribal landscape of which the African continent is the emblem. A screamed, violated Africa which, despite the endless massacres to which it has always been subjected, manages to give us back a vision of hope“. Enzo Cosimi

Enzo Cosimi is among the most authoritative artists of contemporary Italian choreography. Choreographer guest of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan and of Teatro Comunale in Florence, he signs over time with his company productions for the most prestigious international festivals and theaters, touring 4 continents and collaborating with artists of Italian and international excellence.

In his career he scores around 50 productions with his company, including Sopra di me il diluvio, presented at the Venice Biennale in 2014 which won the 2014 Dance & Dance Award for Best Italian Production of the Year and the Tersicore Award 2015 for Paola Lattanzi as best contemporary interpreter.
Over time, his artistic creations have seen important collaborations, including Fabrizio Plessi, Luigi Veronesi, Miuccia Prada, Daniela Dal Cin, Aldo Busi, Stefano Galanti, Aldo Tilocca, Richie Hawtin. In 2012, for the RIC.CI project conceived by Marinella Guatterini, he redesigned his first show Calore. In recent years he has created the two trilogies: Sulle passioni dell’anima which addresses the themes of collective fear, desire and pain; Ode alla bellezza, 3 creazioni sulla diversità, designed for non-theatrical spaces and non-professional performers, which investigate the reality of homeless people, elderly homosexuality, transsexuality, defined by Artribune as one of the best ten works of 2018. Cosimi wins the national award of criticism ANCT 2018.

SEEKING UNICORNS. A unicorn, a creature moved by the desire to assert its presence in the world. Chiara Bersani continues her study of the body, keeper of a unique and unrepeatable story. A body that identifies as the perceptual entity of the other as a magnet, influenced by the revolutionary manipulation of distances between individuals. The unicorn is a mythological animal, although it does not have a shape defined in the myths in which it is told: sometimes it has the shape of an ox and sometimes a horse. In Seeking Unicorns the artist wishes to compensate it for the wrongs suffered, giving herself entirely to it. She wants to give him a story, a love, a choice. Welcoming its bewilderment through an idea of a political body, a body that responds to its social function at the very moment in which it chooses to immerse itself in society. Those who meet it cannot avoid giving them meaning, interpreting it, creating expectations around it. Seeking Unicorns also tells of Chiara Bersani’s challenge, her life as a “disabled” performer, but able to give herself completely to her fragile and uprooted imaginary animal. The performance is designed for non-theatrical spaces: empty, full, silent, crowded. Spaces whose light and history ask to be listened to and inhabited. Spaces where the unicorn tries to find itself in a new form, where, by stripping off its best clothes, it renounces the tales of the theater to start a journey of eyes and breaths destined to be different for each audience.

“Nothing is known about the unicorn. Its roots are lost in the succession of distracted genres of human beings. What happens if in the collective imagination will appear a figure with mythological traits yet orphaned by a myth that motivates and describes its existence? Is it born a symbol. Fragile. Uprooted. Chiara Bersani, 98 cm tall, self-proclaims the unicorn’s flesh, muscles and bones. Not knowing its heart, I will try to give it my breath, my eyes.”

Chiara Bersani is an Italian performer and author active in the sphere of Performing Art, research theater and contemporary dance. Both as an interpreter and as a director / choreographer she moves through different languages and visions. Her works, presented on international circuits, are born as creations in dialogue with spaces of different nature and are aimed primarily at an audience “close” to the scene. Her research is based on the concept of the Political Body and on the creation of practices aimed at training its presence and action. The long collaboration with Alessandro Sciarroni (Leone d’Oro 2019) has allowed her great visibility and followed by the public and critics thanks also to the touching performance Your Girl, presented at Interplay in 2009, in which Chiara personified human frailty.
The “manifesto” of his research is Gentle Unicorn, a performance included in the Aerowaves circuit. For the rigor in embodying this studio in 2019 she was awarded with UBU Award for Best New Performer Under 35. In August 2019 during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Gentle Unicorn won the First Prize for the dance category at the Total Theater Awards.

MANBUHSA it’s an image: two kids playing in a rice field. Stimulated by the fascination for foreign civilizations and forged on the rhythms of music, a relationship is created between two dancers. Through movements, one pushes the other to discover its natural instinct. A vibrant journey of unconscious emotions, innocence and playfulness. The performers are transformed into cranes, spiders, peacocks, for a study and a transposition on the body of peculiar animal dances. Manbuhsa has been presented in important Italian festivals and has received several awards: Festival CortoinDanza – Cagliari, Best potential for choreography and Audience Award 2019, Winner of the Twain_direzioniAltre Award – Tuscania 2019, Festival Bellanda Suite IV – Cormons 2019, Festival Beta Publica VI Edition – Madrid 2019, Public Domain Festival – Rome 2019, Selected for the Showcase of the young author dance by the AnticorpiXL 2019 Network, FIND Festival – Cagliari 2019, Nature in Motion Review – Venaria Reale 2019, Nao Performing festival – Milan 2019, Actions in Dance – Barletta 2019.

Ladies and gentlemen! Look at this creature, as God made it, it’s nothing, really nothing. And now they look at art, it walks briskly, it has jackets and trousers, it wears a saber! Look at the progress of civilization: everything progresses. The monkey is already a soldier; certainly not much, it is the lowest step of the human species! Georg Büchner-Woyzeck

LES MISERABLES. A ruthless and immoral fresco on today, a contemporary middle-class drama, familiar sometimes. A roundup of stereotypes, already seen, already said and acted. The theater of human misery: body and voice at the service of a painful chorus that echoes Aristophanes’ Frogs, perhaps an Offenbach operetta or even the famous Brechtian opera. Static and immobility in response to the imminent, evident (physical, political, social, environmental …) collapse. What’s going on around us? An in-depth analysis of the current situation and the search for connections between the forms of protest present – rarely based on the idea of human evolution and revolution – and the historical Enlightenment vision, which puts Culture and Art at the center of change. A work that again leads the company to investigate contemporary social issues, through a strong impact “amphibious” language and a complex dramaturgical level in support of the work.

Un approfondimento sull’attualità e sulla ricerca di connessioni tra le forme di protesta presenti – raramente fondate sull’idea di evoluzione e rivoluzione umana – e la storica visione illuminista (illuminata), che mette Cultura e Arte al centro del cambiamento. Un lavoro che porta nuovamente la compagnia a indagare tematiche sociali contemporanee, attraverso un linguaggio “anfibio” di forte impatto e un complesso livello drammaturgico a sostegno dell’opera.

C&C Company identifies itself as a project for the creation and development of an ever-evolving artistic language, directed towards a physical and dramaturgical investigation, in close relationship with urgent contemporary social issues. Characterized by constant work and without superstructures, C&C is interested in the depth of interpersonal relationships with the aim of bringing truth to the stage through a deeply physical language that allows the audience to feel represented within its universality. The company, born in 2011 from the artistic meeting between Carlo Massari and Chiara Taviani, denotes from the beginning a vocation for the hybridization between dance, physical theater and other artistic codes, making use of valuable collaborations with professionals from all over Europe. The company boasts intense tours in Italy and abroad and prestigious international awards – including Hiver Oclytes / Les Hivernales (FR), Hannover International Choreographers Competition (DE), Zawirowania Competition (PL), Konzert Theater Berne (CH), Machol Shalem Dance Competition (IL), ActFestival (ES), Premio Danza Roma (IT), CrashTest (IT). Recurring creations that involve community. At the same time, the training projects aimed at performing in collaboration with relevant Italian festivals and cultural realities are constantly evolving, including Rome Europe, Agorà Coaching Project, Glass Theaters, Art Factory International, as well as collaborations and co-productions with famous companies of great international importance such as Petri-Dish (BE), Cia Du’k’to (ES), Ortika (IT).

Carlo Massari was born in Bologna in 1984 and already at a young age he ventured into various artistic disciplines. At only 14 he joined the O.T.E. Saracinesche and subsequently Compagnia del Teatro dell’Argine. He collected numerous Italian and foreign collaborations as performers: Venice Biennale, Compagnia della Rancia, Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Balletto Civile, Compagnia Abbondanza / Bertoni and Cie PetriDish (BE). In 2011 with the artist Chiara Taviani he created the C&C Company, making numerous national and international successful productions debut. Various collaborations with different realities of the Italian and European panorama, including Agora Coaching Project (IT), Dukto (ES), La Verdi (IT), KDC (PL), Compagnia Ortika (IT). Since 2017, the direction of C&C has been entrusted solely to Carlo Massari. Since 2019 he has been Artistic Director of the Festival Danzare il Tramonto (BO) and of the Anfibia project (Art Factory International – Leggere Strutture).
