Class instructor: Nicolò Giorgini & Marco Casagrande: Exploring the DOT
Class Description:
Starting from the research of the "DOT" Project, we will analyze together the main aspects and practices that move this work.
The question from which it all begins is, "What would happen if a body was catapulted into a new system apparently foreign to common perception?"
Starting from the analysis of celestial bodies and black holes, we will focus on the two types of orbital motions - of rotation and revolution - to construct a motion practice that relates bodies during a continuous state of free fall in space.
Through the motion of rotation we will go through the many possibilities of transformation that the body may encounter through its different points of activation. The motion of revolution, on the other hand, will help us seek a careful state of alertness between bodies to maintain balance and never collapse the relationship system.
The desire is to develop a singular ecosystem within which the bodies have a perennial capacity for transformation with a multidirectional orientation, in order to generate continuous sudden and surprising shifts in perspective.

In Support of Core Dance
For four decades, Core Dance has supported innovation, collaboration, artistic risk-taking and sustainable art-making in dance. An award-winning contemporary dance organization with global reach, Core Dance creates, performs, and produces compelling original dance that ignites the creative spirit and actively encourages participation and conversation with the community. In 1980, Core Dance was co-founded in Houston, Texas by dancer and choreographer Sue Schroeder and her sister, Kathy Russell. Five years later, the organization added Atlanta, Georgia as a second home base, creating a platform for dance that is relevant in both cities and around the globe. Core Dance uses dance to educate, question and illuminate, and is internationally recognized for its artistically driven research practices, cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary collaborations, the humanity of the individual Dance Artists, and its rigorous physicality.
