Project selected for ResiDance 2026

Inspired by Marcel Proust’s famous passage on madeleines, Tansini explores how sensory experiences can collapse the past and present, awakening untamed bodies. Through this lens, presences become instruments capable of revealing the continuous change, overlapping and dissolution of hidden realities and temporalities. At the heart of the project is Tansini’s distinctive physical language, an exploration of the body as an unstable and transformative organism. Her work draws the audience into a state of heightened perception, where the ordinary becomes charged with intimacy and intensity. The performance space is not merely a backdrop, but an integral part of the choreography. The result is an experience that lies “between the crude and the refined, between the formal and the wild”, continually assembling and reassembling fragments of the surrounding world.

Winner of numerous awards, including the 2022 Ubu Prize for Best Performer Under 35, Stefania Tansini develops her choreographic research based on a material and sensory investigation of the body as a place of transfiguration and tension, between form and decay, between control and abandonment, in a constant dialogue between fullness and emptiness. Her works have been presented at numerous festivals, including the Romaeuropa Festival, FOG Festival, Santarcangelo Festival, Gender Bender Festival, La Democrazia del Corpo Festival, Interplay Festival, Bolzano Danza and Emergentia Festival. She is supported by the Fondazione Teatro Grande di Brescia for the period 2022-2024 and by Mosaico-Danza/Interplay for the period 2024-2026.

Curated by Re-Action Integrated Dance Company

Contemporary dance workshop for dancers with and without disabilities, exploring integrated dance as a space for encounter, listening and relationship. The course focuses on body awareness, sensations and breathing, developing movement through partnering practices, contact improvisation and compositions in space and time. A formative and transformative experience that focuses on the uniqueness of each body, promoting a shared, inclusive and creative language.

Adam Benjamin is one of the world’s leading experts in integrated dance. A pioneer of this innovative approach to dance, he founded CandoCo Dance Company, the first dance company composed of dancers with and without disabilities, and served as its artistic director for many years. He has worked in South Africa as artistic director of the Tshwaragano Dance Company and in Ethiopia for the Adugna Community Dance Theatre. In Europe, he has worked as a freelance choreographer and has created works for his performance projects Adam Benjamin and dancers and The Stare Cases Project, as well as choreographing for Besht Tellers and the AandBC Theatre Company. He has developed a growing body of work in Japan, both in community dance and with professional artists such as Kim Itoh and Chieko Matsumura. He teaches on the training course “One More Dance? Dance as a tool for cultural welfare” (2023-2024; 2024-2025) organised by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto.

as part of the Tanz Tanz programme | Visions and Practices of Play, Art and Dance
a project by Associazione Didee curated by Mariachiara Raviola as part of La Piattaforma – New bodies, new perspectives
in collaboration with Lavanderia a Vapore

A soft meeting space in which to think with the body, train listening skills and relax the muscle of responsibility by passing the lead to young people, activating micro-revolutions through play. How can we coexist in diversity? How can we loosen the idea of control and generate new postures? How can we dismantle inherent dynamics of power and oppression? How can we feel good in complexity?
We open a field of reflection and participatory discussion around care as an attitude of reciprocity, slowness and non-performativity that regenerates people, relationships and communities in a time increasingly constrained by the rigid meshes of productivity.
The invitation is open to anyone, it is not necessary to have parental responsibility. Even the role of an external (internal) observer is considered to be in support of the project itself.

Il Tempo delle mele is a project that, from February to May, involves groups of people over 65, their families and carers in a collective residence.
In previous seasons, the apple has been a magical-symbolic portal that has allowed us to retrace our first experiences, explore falling in love as a moment of physical awakening, and then transform it into our very own heart. We held it in our hands, touched it, warmed it, smelled it, peeled it, opened it. We observed its details, listened to its heartbeat and read in its deepest layers what makes us unique and unforgettable.
The warmth of the encounter distilled a vocabulary of signs that became part of a collective memory.
How can the seeds of memory create a language of affection?
Guided by the symbol of the apple, we imagine new collective practices and rituals to connect with the fullness of the seed, sensually awaken its power and animate the imprint preserved in a point of origin, suspended between past and future.
How can dance be an expression of becoming love?
We traverse the time of the apple to give substance and discover how a system of affections can arise.

We encountered human and robotic bodies, conglomerates of membranes, codes and tissues. Human beings are still learning how to relate to the artificial, while at the same time questioning their relationship with the natural, straddling ecology and a return to manual activities. Permaculture, which is based on the creation and maintenance of sustainable ecosystems, can teach us how to repair relational fractures, with a view to reciprocity, environmental ecology and social alliance.

Il Corpo Docente is a training journey aimed at teachers and educators of any discipline, inviting them to get involved, both individually and collectively: starting with practices related to the body and pleasure, we unlearn the productive structures of traditional schooling in order to seek, together, through desire and imagination, possible metamorphoses of educational habitats that can find space in a renewed everyday life.
