Danzare la voce

Annamaria Ajmone, Veza Fernandez

Free admission upon registration The workshop is open to professional and semi-professional dancers and performers Running time 120'

The workshop, led by performers Annamaria Ajmone and Veza Fernandez, explores the relationship between dance and voice, which serves as the neural center and foundation of the choreographic and musical system of the performance I pianti e i lamenti dei pesci fossili. Starting from the reflection on the fossil as a symbolic and poetic device, the two artists investigate the cognitive and perceptual potential of the body in relation to different organisms and materials. The work focuses on two interfaces: the skin—connecting the internal and external, driving movement—and air, the space where voices inhabit and meet.

Annamaria Ajmone is a dancer and choreographer. The focus of her work is the human body, a malleable and changeable matter. Her studies develop in a tentacular way, through different formats and durations. The performances are the result of a collective activity, created from encounters and debates in which it becomes difficult to identify the ownership of the artistic object. She presents her works at numerous dance, theater and performing arts festivals including Torino Danza (Turin), FOG (Milan) the Dance Biennale (Venice), Santarcangelo Festival, La casa encendida (Madrid), brut (Vienna), Bit-teatergarasje (Bergen), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), and far° festival et fabrique des arts vivants (Nyon). In 2015 she won the Premio Danza&Danza for “best emerging contemporary performer”. Together with artist Sara Leghissa, she created and organizes “Nobody's Indiscipline”, a platform for sharing artistic practices.
