Performance Project with Alessandro Marzotto
This performance project proposes the creation of a shared movement practice grounded in instant composition, where images and text serve as catalysts for embodied action and collective creation. The process is not focused on producing fixed choreography, but on cultivating a living space where movement emerges in real time through attention, listening, and response.
At the heart of the project is an exploration of connection—understood both as the act of building bridges and as the experience of their absence. Connection is viewed as a dynamic state rather than a stable condition: something that can be felt, interrupted, negotiated, refused, or transformed. Through movement, participants investigate how bodies relate to one another, to space, and to shared material, while also acknowledging moments of dissonance, distance, and isolation.
Instant composition is employed as a practice of presence. Images and fragments of text are introduced as prompts, invitations, or provocations, activating memory, imagination, and sensation. These materials are not interpreted literally; rather, they function as open structures that allow for multiple interpretations and bodily responses. Movement unfolds through decisions made in the moment, shaped by both internal impulses and external encounters, creating a continuously shifting score.
The practice is inherently collective. It emphasizes sharing—not only movement, but also attention, authorship, and responsibility. Each participant becomes both a witness and a contributor, influencing and being influenced by the evolving composition. The performance emerges from the tension between individual agency and collective negotiation, between clarity and ambiguity, intimacy and separation.
By engaging with both connection and its absence, the project creates space for vulnerability and friction. Disconnection is not treated as failure but as a meaningful material: pauses, gaps, silences, and missed encounters become integral to the choreographic landscape. These moments invite reflection on how connection is constructed, maintained, and sometimes lost, both within the performance space and beyond.
Ultimately, this project frames performance as a relational practice—a temporary community formed through movement, images, and text. It invites both participants and audiences to experience connection as something continuously composed: fragile, adaptable, and deeply embodied.
