The work is based on the methodology the company is developing by mixing dance, theatre and writing: Contact improvisation, physical manipulation, Devised work, real time composition are at the heart of the company’s performing research.
The working procedure follows three steps:
Deepening physical awareness through movement. Contact with another body and the possibilities this opens up to self-recognition and to the exploration of one’s own limits. An energetic yet accurate physical work will release tensions and increase body reactivity. Contact and manipulation will warm up the body. The purpose of the training is not merely bodily but mainly artistic.
This step is based on improvisation with the purpose of creating a «persona» from body movements to the slightest psycho-emotional features through armed improvisation and the use of each participant’s characteristics. The performer will have to work on the notion of loop, as the repetition of an artistic act to the point of  discovering new inner means. The participants will have to respond physically to a set of instructions. After completing the circuit, they will have to start over again although by different ways of responding to the instructions.
The third step is based on the reworking of tools (??) which will integrate a written text concerning the two previous steps and other possible objects the participant will want to contribute with.

Mondi Possibili (Possible Worlds)

Workshop with children aged 8 to 13
The project aims at creating new sustainable development models through artistic experiences elaborated with citizens, especially with those who are the active citizens of tomorrow.
The project would like to engage in a dialogue with children aged 8 to 13 around key-words such as utopia, impossible, possible, forbidden, violent and crisis. In an increasingly digitalised world, children often come across such terms and have an easy access to a confused adult world that is barely understandable to them. The Mondi Possibili (possible worlds) project would like to provide a reading of reality for the young protagonists, by offering them means of interpretation designed for them. The children’s contribution will be the base for a constructive and bidirectional dialogue around delicate issues every generation is concerned with.
The dramatic kick-out is very simple: a group of children decides to take over and to create a new world, based on new rules and laws. By thinking over concepts like playing and responsibility, they will face everything that building up new scenarios based on rules means, thereby going through, even unwillingly, classic structures of power (dictatorship, democracy, etc.) and possibly coming up with new ones.
Each meet-up will follow four main steps:
the meeting: by playing the mirror game and other silent games, children will be lead to an “other” place, different from the one they are used to living in, as close as possible to the concept of magic, of «possible».
Music and impersonation: physical warm-up through impersonation and music. This step follows an increasing pace up to a climax. The use of words is limited to the minimum.
Creation: the most focused on the chosen theme, it implies exchanging, writing and creating by doing.
Goodbye: the “magical” place is left with a goodbye. It will be reached again next time.
