Per il contesto

with Alessandro Tollari, Doriana Crema and Aldo Torta

We live in educational contexts made up of mathematical and exact systems, where affection is hardly ever mentioned. The tense atmosphere outside echoes within school walls, paralysing us and our vocabularies, limiting our imagination and the potential of relationships. What are the biological structures that allow us as human beings to create relationships and therefore systems of affection? What do we mean when we talk about the “System of Affection”? What acts of cleansing do we need to make room for new bonds and ways of creating systems? How can we cause a domino effect and establish new modes of communication by refreshing our collective vocabulary?

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.

The extended Dance Well community continues its research this year into the construction of a game as an embodied practice of creating a world.
In the collective residence, leftovers are put on the table, everything that has remained imprinted on the body: knowledge, materials, ways of being, co-constructed and incorporated worlds, in these six years of research. We shake them up, mix them together, and play with them again.

How does encountering the other inform, deform, perform, and transform us?
How can we regenerate ourselves and our practices through fun and pleasure?
How can we become one in play?

The game device will be presented at the Spring Rolls Festival at Lavanderia a Vapore.

Squares are the centre of cities, the beating heart where everyone shares experiences and exchanges stories, imagining possible futures.

A project by Michela Depetris in partnership with Lavanderia a Vapore
with the participation of N. (aged 3) and the Pupa Boom collective
theoretical/educational support Mattia Cantele and Lisa Perrucci

Care is our individual and collective ability to establish the political, social, material and emotional conditions necessary for most people and living creatures on the planet to thrive alongside the planet itself.
The Care Collective

Caring with…. It aims to be a morning of play for adults and children. A gentle meeting space in which to think with the body, train listening skills and relax the muscles of responsibility by handing over the reins to children, 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 external (internal) observer is considered in support of the project itself.

Admission is free, but booking is required by emailing: pedrazzoli@lavanderiaavapore.eu

Michela Depetris è autrice e performer. Vive a Torino. Lavora con linguaggi ibridi tra danza, scrittura, video, suono e installazioni partecipative, situando la sua ricerca in un campo aperto e misto in cui ogni mezzo porta con sé sempre e comunque le pratiche corporee con una visione espansa della coreografia. Progetta dispositivi coreografico-performativi come potenziali detonatori di micro rivoluzioni temporanee.

(X) invites the public to enter a vast space immersed in darkness and silence, where they can position themselves wherever they prefer and remain for as long as they wish. A woman stands motionless in front of a light source. Swaying in an almost hypnagogic state, she daydreams. Her face is concealed. Listening and looking within herself, her body speaks, inviting the audience to imagine their own experience alongside her.
This minimalist installation performed by Andréane Leclerc follows in the footsteps of Di(x)parue (2009), a turning point in the artist’s career that marked the beginning of a fundamental research process on new embodied practices. Driven by a desire to periodically revisit and renew the work until her 70th birthday, Leclerc created (X) in 2022. This rewriting process took place 13 years after the original work was performed in gardens (Trois-Rivières, Quebec), theatres (Montreal, Quebec), museums (San Luis Potosí, Mexico) and 13th-century thermal baths (Inca, Spain). In this way, (X) is a kind of progression, allowing the practitioner to measure and reflect on the distances she has travelled.
Returning to one’s ‘X’ means reconnecting, listening to oneself and allowing oneself to resonate with the world in order to bring new needs to the surface. This pause is fundamental to an artistic practice that seeks to deconstruct its relationship with the spectacular and with the art of contortion, a technique that Andréane Leclerc has been practicing since she was very young.

A conceptual and performance artist, Andréane Leclerc is interested in human encounters that lead her towards interdisciplinary and inter-artistic processes. Trained as a contortionist (National Circus School of Montreal, 2001), she draws inspiration from her 20 years of circus practice to reflect on contortion as a philosophical posture and develop her stage language. Her approach, centered on listening, relational ecology and perceptive attention, is part of the new bodily practices emerging from the somatic and performative fields.
In 2013, she completed a master’s degree in dramaturgy of skill at the UQAM theatre department. In the same year, together with her partner Geoffroy Faribault, she founded the company Nadère arts vivants to continue her exploration of a body/matter that evolves in sensation rather than sensationalism. She has created the conceptual works Di(x)parue 2009; Bath House 2013; Mange-Moi 2013; Cherepaka 2014; The Whore of Babylon Featuring The Tiger Lillies 2015; Sang Bleu 2018; À l’Est de Nod 2022 and (X), currently in creation. His works have been presented in Tokyo, Florence, Cairo, Tenerife, São Paulo, Guadalajara, Chicago, Rouyn-Noranda and Montreal, on contemporary stages, but also in museums and galleries.
Alongside her artistic career, Andréane Leclerc is a teacher and has been giving contortion classes for physical artists since 2015. She also develops interdisciplinary dramaturgy workshops for circus, dance, theatre and performance artists (Studio 303, En Piste, Playwrights workshop Montreal in Montreal, La Gata Cirko in Bogota, La Grainerie in Toulouse, Fabbrica Europa in Florence). In 2017, she participated in the creation of Cirque OFF, a living manifesto for the biodiversity of circus arts in Montreal (Studio 303). She also occasionally works as a dramaturgy and movement consultant (Dialogue of Disobedience & Black light, white noise by and with Dana Dugan, 2018 and 2022) and performs in various international projects (Variations pour une déchéance annoncée by Angela Konrad, 2012; The Tiger Lillies Perform Hamlet since 2016).
