Giving space to the ephemeral

Performance-Projekt with Maddi Fuente Ubani


This project is a creative invitation of reconnecting with one’s own roots to emerge as a ‘solos’ that will co-exist in space and time and build a common landscape in a group performance. *I refer to “roots” as one’s personal movement vocabulary, body memory, mother tongue, intuition, processes, lineage, the instincts and what is (or isn’t) pleasurable and (or isn’t) organic for my body. Through guided improvisations we’ll navigate qualities of movement, images, text, voice work and contact with consent. We’ll open ourselves to what unfolds naturally, and we’ll collect relevant material, focusing on personal narratives expressed through the body. We’ll use creation and composition tools and feedback (witness and being seen) to complete the work but keeping them alive. I invite you to grant space and time to that small things your body turns into movement, and you allow it to pass. Pause. Let’s inhabit it, recognize it, give it weight. It’s a precious material. We’ll look at the work as a WHOLE and decide, considering body, stage set and sound space, ensuring the scenes are connected like roots

Additionally there is a  Contemporary class with Maddi Fuente Ubani from 02.06. - 09.07.2025 (Mo 09.06. holiday) | Mon & Wed 18:15-19:45These classes will prepare the body for creativity using contemporary dance techniques, fostering care and responsiveness to individual needs. We will explore movement qualities and improvisation, emphasizing group awareness and composition through deep listening to ourselves and our somatic vocabulary. This is an invitation to engage with the proposed material and make it your own. Our focus will be on how we move, awakening a curious and expressive body.
