Butoh & Somatics workshop

“EXFOLIATION” – Filippo Pasquali

*Workshops are conducted in English

As we are constantly compressed by information and stimulation from our

surroundings, global crises overwhelming environments, endless things to do, as we are members of a massively disturbed thing. It seems a question of survival to peel off what is not actual anymore, even for a little while or just a few breaths.

Through a crossing of disciplines: butoh, somatics (BMC and Alexander), meditation and poetry we will try to explore how the accuracy and strictness of occidental anatomy cooperate and meet absurd imagery in an irrational political attempt of self and community coexistence.

We will re:connect with ourselves and explore our expression of the moment in a creative process to share a loss of margins, through a performative and ritual dimension in a concern of care for a beauty that resists. We imagine exfoliation as a geological and metaphorical process against cognitive occlusion.

Filippo Bio’s

I see identity as a study in multiplicity. I am a dancer, environmental anthropologist, baker, skipper, mason, pastry chef, activist, apprentice poet and gardener. I calibrate my artistic work to apprehend the falls and eco-social flaws of the planet we commonly inhabit, in a

confluence of flesh, poetry and politics. The resources, methods, techniques that accompany me and shape my practices are Butoh, somatics (BMC, Alexander Technique, authentic movement), books and the minds that write it. I thank and name some of the people who have influenced my body the most my body: M-T Sitzia, Matthieu Gaudeau, Asaf Bachrach, Moeno Wakamtsu, Masaki Iwana, Atsushi Takenouchi and Hiroko Komia, Maruska Ronchi, Minako Seki, Imre Thormann.
