Sexy movers is a reflection on the essay A general theory of love by Thomas Lewis, M.D. Fari Amini, Richard Lannon, M.D. The focus is the meeting with the other, a meeting that explores the moment in which two persons come into contact, the moment which gives a start to a transformation process. Imagine to expand this moment, to stretch time and observe the vibrations, moods and dynamics that precede the match.

What happens when we get close to someone?
What happens when our eyes meet someone’s eyes? How do we change according to the match?     

Sexy movers wants to be a transformation process, in which bodies store experiences and use them as a strategy to communicate with each other

They’re both convinced that a sudden passion joined them. Such certainty is beautiful but uncertainty is more beautiful still [..]

There were signs and signals even if they couldn’t read them yet. Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday [..]

Sexy movers nasce da una riflessione sul saggio A general theory of love di Lewis, Amini, Lannon. Il focus è l’incontro con l’altro, un incontro che esplora il momento in cui due individui entrano in contatto, il singolo istante che dà inizio a un processo di trasformazione. Immaginiamo di poter dilatare quest’istante, di poter scandagliare il tempo e osservare le vibrazioni, gli stati d’animo e le dinamiche che precedono il match.

Cosa accade quando ci avviciniamo a qualcuno?
Cosa succede quando i nostri occhi si incontrano con quelli dell’altro? Come cambiamo a seconda degli incontri?

Sexy movers si propone di essere un percorso di trasformazione, in cui i corpi archiviano esperienze e le utilizzano come strategia per comunicare con l’altro.

LAND is a performance that uses a carpet to determine the action focusing the gaze towards a precise and clear dimension, which over time can open up to the surrounding landscape. A common horizon in which people are invited to act. The interest is in how external informations are absorbed and integrated in performer’s inner dimension. The carpet looks like a place of choice and acts as a membrane between the dancer's body and the outside. In this forcibly solitary space, the dancer has to build a code of gestures and gazes that over time allows the performer to define a network of real or imaginary relationships. The practice is conceived as an ongoing learning process that allows to locate the viewers and the performer in a common ground of interaction. LAND is an immersion into a delicate intimacy that makes its way through the folds of the body.
