Travelling. Dancing other ways

In the beginning it was the Body. There was a time, never really ended, in which human beings knew the environment that surrounded them through the body, expressed theirs deeper needs with dances that created unity and sharing in significant moments of social life. It is with the movement and the rhythm that instinctive and spiritual needs were met, shared emotional experiences, as movement was a tool of expression, creation, healing, a bridge to the unknown. While dancing we prayed, worked, treated illnesses, transformed emotions. In Western civilization, however, over the centuries, dance lose its original characteristics, in terms of a sense of unity and of connection with nature. Maybe that's why when we go out of western countries we feel our dance rise again. Dancing to Live, Dance To Live is this: a journey of connection and memories. In this moment there is a desperate need to blaze new paths, explore new coordinates in new maps of existence. Mostly, we have to cultivate anew the idea of dialogue, interest and the respect for diversity, listen to other points of view, that there they remember how small we are and how much our optics can be limited and limiting. To make the similarities prevail, before the differences, to nourish trust in the human, physical, real encounter, tangible. We believe this is, in the time we have available, to be truly “on the go”, to dialogue with the unknown. In this appointment we will talk and dance live about the Journey starting from Dance, in a simple and spontaneous way, waiting for May, when we will leave for Cairo to hold the FIRST DANCE THERAPY WORKSHOP IN EGYPT, project curated by Simonetta Ottone (CEO) and Ashraf Tawfik (Project Manager). Right now on the FB DANCE TO LIVE Group we will publish the preparations from Livorno, and when we will be in Cairo in real time there will be live coverage of training meetings, travels, of what we will meet, so as to take you with us! YALLABINA! Let's go!
