Los Faunos is a new project developed with the choreographer Quim Bigas Bassart, four Piedmont dance companies and a network of national partners engaging ten local dance schools and communities around Lavanderia a Vapore.
From January to April, the project will unpack as an incubator for emerging talents that will benefit from the encounters with the leading artists in an open, dynamic, and informal net where to cultivate and express participants’ creative potential.
During these months, leading artists and participants will revisit the figure of the Faun, its queerness and intersectionality, adopting the repertoire as a creative ground to revisit the code and reflect on the present.
The international guest and the local companies will develop creative tasks and choreographic scores that can activate in dance schools, teachers and participants, a compositional and expressive ability that goes beyond disciplinary teachings.

Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi – associate artists at Lavanderia – are based in Berlin and Torino; they have been working as a duo since 2008. Their artistic research interlaces dance, performance and visual art. Deepening themes related to the historical union between communication, violence and power, they draw on ancient imaginaries, creating hybrid figures or images between history and contemporaneity. Both graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and attended Stoà, School for rhythmic movement and philosophy in Cesena, led by Claudia Castellucci.

In anticipation of the next shared research residency, scheduled for autumn 2024 with the support of Culture MovesEurope and Lavanderia a Vapore and with the participation of four artists from the European scene, the curatorial team of Workspace Ricerca X is meeting to research about research. The April residency is a residency of thought, of sharing desires and questions, in a self-reflexive and fruitful posture, directed towards the construction of new curatorial perspectives, research dramaturgies and editorial choreographies. If doing research is essentially continuing to ask ourselves how we do what we do, with this residency the Ricerca X project takes the necessary space to immerse itself in these questions, inhabit them, re-articulate them and relaunch them towards possibilities and desires for the future.

Workspace Ricerca X – Research and Dramaturgy is a platform for the development and support of artistic research and dramaturgy in the field of choreography and performance. Established in 2016 with the aim of opening up avenues for the development and legitimisation of artistic research in the Italian context, it positions itself in dialogue with Northern European models and is aimed at professionals in the field of dance and performing arts.

Monumentum stands for: memory, document, sign of recognition, something from the past. Something that pauses and stops the continuous progression of the production flow, moving into the depths of memory, in a kind of temporal anachronism, multiplying the glances along the thread of choreography. Monumentum the second sleep / second part, the quartet has a temporal progression enclosed in the pure dance of an ensemble, an expression of a plural progression of relationships. If the zones of ecstasy of reality are also zones of sense production, the latter manifests itself in Monumentum without erupting but in a kind of abandonment, a kind of perpetual sleep or second sleep, an altered state of consciousness in which bodies allow themselves to be penetrated and transformed. Wrapped in chiaroscuro chromatic visions and traversed by dreamlike dialogues, the piece is in tune with the heartbeat of the gaze and makes us feel that there are other levels of communication or language, the possibility of living beyond the fence of the useful.

The iceberg is an iridescent mass, solid and vulnerable at the same time; structurally compact but fluid. The iceberg is also the unravelling of a prejudicial deception: that is, it lends itself to recognisable emergencies in that display of its emerged part, of its expendable peaks; however, it is usually more its ‘deep’ nature that substantially characterises its bulk and power; this mass – beyond the visible – is an intricate relational warp. 
Through a series of long recurring residencies over the course of 2024, Salvo Lombardo, associate artist of Lavanderia a Vapore, starts from the figure of the iceberg to articulate a discourse on the dramaturgy of dance and, in general, on the prototyping of an institutional dramaturgy. How can an artist and a space build a network of visible and invisible interweavings, reciprocally crossing discourses, words, practices that inhabit the Lavanderia in order to affect the vision and future design trajectories of a possible institution?

A project by Elisabetta Consonni

Graduated in Communication with a final thesis on the social construction of the body in dance and graduated at The Place-London, Elisabetta Consonni deepened her research in performing art living in Holland (2004-2009) and Poland (2013-2015). Her works for conventional spaces aim to expand the practice of choreography seeking for performative devices to incorporate a social discourse. Her activism in the social and civic sphere takes the artistic form of a research process that since 2013 investigates the use and social meaning of public space and the declination of choreographic skills in working with marginalised groups. Her work searches for the continuous interlacing between practice and production of knowledge through it.

ON MOBILISATION focuses on community mobilisation through artistic processes. This bottom-up project co-funded by the European Union, takes an active role in an international solidarity and emancipatory movement. It aims to bring together and to engage individuals for favouring forms of social justice and equality. In order to effectively address the concept of micro-community mobilisation the project embraces local specificities of the four partner organisations: wpZimmer, Baltic Art Center, Studio ALTA and Lavanderia a Vapore. They are mobilised by adopting radical forms of cultural participation facilitated by six international artists: Kalle Brolin, Elisabetta Consonni, Daniele Ninarello, Ahilan Ratnamohan, Marika Smreková and Danae Theodoridou.

The residency is curated by COORPI is the kick-off stage for the activities of the new transmedia production project HYBRIDY, winner of the 2023 edition of the “PER CHI CREA” program, promoted by MiC and managed by SIAE.

HYBRIDY is an interactive audio-video multimedia installation for a single viewer at a time, which aims to explore the possible relationships – harmonious and conflicting – between body and machine, digital and analogue, nature and technique. Consisting of a large circular video projection synchronized with original music played through headphones using a technique of binaural sound spatialization and vibrotactile feedback, it involves the propagation of vibrations on the listener’s body so as to generate an immersive multisensory artistic experience. Starting from a selection and adaptation of digital dance video contributions produced by COORPI, Alberto Barberis expands and recomposes them into a new installation dimension, through a process of original and technologically innovative sonification, at once sonic, visual and corporeal. For the selection, adaptation and rendering of Hybridy’s video contributions, Alberto Barberis will be supported by the external consultancy of Rajan Craveri, creative technologist, and choreographer Serena Zanconato.

Alberto Barberis
A multifaceted artist, Alberto Barberis is internationally active as a composer, electroacoustic performer, multimedia artist, programmer, sound engineer, and teacher.  Since 2017 he has been teaching Electronic Music, Music Technologies, Live Electronics and Acoustics at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano and, since 2022, Systems for Assisted Composition at the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado in Milan. Parallel to his artistic activity (as composer, multimedia artist, electroacoustic performer, sound engineer) he is involved in software development for music creation and education. In his works he combines acoustic instruments, electronic instruments, digital art and programming, in search of a personal bio-technological tension.

The project is supported by  MiC and SIAE, in “PER CHI CREA” program and thanks to the contribution of the Region of Piedmont and the CRT Foundation.
