In the “Gentle Movement” led by Katya Egorova, participants will immerse themselves in a nurturing environment designed to foster creativity and self-expression through gentle movement practices. Through exploration and improvisation, attendees will deepen their body awareness, strengthening the mind-body connection. 

Meanwhile, in “In the Voice of Other” led by Alessandro Curti, participants will explore the rich polyphonic singing traditions of the Mediterranean basin. The process of oral transmission is unique and precious, it’s a meeting in action, it relies on trust, attentiveness and will of sharing something that is not only about voice, that goes beyond the song itself, it’s the will of “sound together”. 

Throughout the workshop, we will intertwine movement and voice, observing how harmonies influence expression and vice versa. The workshop offers a unique opportunity to journey into the harmonious integration of movement and voice, unlocking pathways to deeper self-expression and collective resonance.
