Dance Makers (IT)
Landscapes of long duration where time stands still. Places that intertwine and confuse past and present. Spaces to walk through and observe. Bodies that move to compose unusual choreographic scores.
Can dance offer new perspectives and ways of inhabiting the city? Can places – steeped in history, nature and art – become a stimulus for imagination and artistic creation?
The Dance Makers project starts precisely from the relationship between people and territories with the intention of spreading contemporary dance in unconventional places to stimulate reflection on the territory and its resources. This thought is the basis for the creation of choreographies that draw inspiration from architectural elements, geometries, sounds, works of art, history and inhabitants.
Each choreographic itinerary thus becomes unique because it is developed and conceived in close relation to the environment and gives shape to a route in multiple stages in which artistic creations of a performing nature alternate with participatory moments in which the public becomes visitor, spectator and protagonist.
This itinerary in Milan is the result of an articulated didactic project, proposed and produced by STANZE and ZONA K, which involved the dance company DANCE MAKERS as trainers and dancer-choreographers, the school L’ARCOBALENODANZA and the ACCADEMIA DI BELLE ARTI DI BRERA, which made available the spaces of its historical headquarters, with the active participation of a group of students from the Two-year Specialisation Course in Theatre Scenography and Costume for the Performing Arts.
The dancers have inhabited and choreographed the open spaces of the Napoleonic Courtyard of Honour, the Loggiato above it, the steps, the corridors and those indoors, the basement and the Gipsoteca, working in close dialogue with the Costume and Set Design students, who have succeeded in transmuting bodies and places, revealing the ineffable essence of the non-visible.

COS’è IL Body-Mind Centering® -BMC®
La natura si organizza in pattern.
Anche in noi, che della natura siamo parte, si formano dei pattern.
La mente è come il vento e il corpo come la sabbia: se vuoi sapere come soffia il vento, puoi guardare la sabbia.
Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen
BMC è uno studio esperienziale che, attraverso la rieducazione del movimento e la riorganizzazione dei pattern, porta a una comprensione di come la mente si esprime attraverso il corpo e il corpo attraverso la mente.
Basato su fondamenti di anatomia, fisiologia, psicologia e sulla conoscenza dello sviluppo del movimento dal concepimento ai primi anni di vita, BMC fa uso di una varietà di principi teorico-funzionali e di pratiche nell’esplorazione di tutti i sistemi corporei, del respiro e della vocalizzazione, dei sensi e della dinamica percettiva, dell’arte del tocco delle mani e del movimento, fino al livello cellulare. Ha una vasta gamma di applicazioni: educazione e pratica del movimento, danza, yoga, bodywork, riabilitazione, psicoterapia, sviluppo infantile, educazione, musica, voce, arte, meditazione, arti marziali, atletica e altre discipline che coinvolgono l’insieme mente-corpo.

YOUR HAPPY SAD SONGS is a project in three snapshots, I WANNA – Play – forEVER, freely inspired by the figure of Federico García Lorca.
“The work feeds on Lorca, sinks its roots into the contrasts that animated him, digs through his words and images in search of the essence that moved his work and his life”.
Your Happy Sad Songs thus becomes a sort of pop opera, moving between everyday situations and dreamlike images, on the difficulty of following one’s instincts, on the will to react when all around seems dark, on the disorientation caused by an absence. At the centre is the body and its movement, which becomes the main instrument of investigation. The bodies of the two performers are observed in the circumstances in which they are protagonists and at the same time, as if analysed, decomposed, X-rayed in search of what moves them and what they conceal.

Sonenalé was founded in Milan in 2012 by Riccardo Fusiello, dancer and choreographer, and Agostino Riola, performer and director. Their artistic research focuses on the investigation of the body, in all its expressions. The collaboration between the two began in 2008 on the occasion of the show Il Signor P, produced by the Castel Dei Mondi International Festival in Andria. In 2010 they created Your Happy Sad Songs. They have collaborated with Italian and European companies (Spain, Denmark). ”
