„In this online workshop I will share some of the practices that are animating the research for SAGA, my new piece, that deals with the concepts of story-telling and family ties. With a series of proposals in sequence we will consider the information that we receive from our bodies, from the environment and from the others classifying them into secrets, memories and desires. We will try to understand how these three different categories shape our thoughts and which somatic regions they meet, in order to insert the body in a flow of movement that shifts from one corner to the other, following the pulse of our minds.“
 

About Marco D’Agostin:

Marco D’Agostin is an Italian artist active in the fields of dance and performance, winner of the UBU award as best performer under 35.
His work questions the role and functioning of memory, and focuses on the relationship between performer and spectator. Dance, a complex geography in which sounds, words and movements constantly collide, tends towards the emotional compromise of the ones who perform and the ones who watch. After training with internationally renowned masters (Yasmeen Godder, Nigel Charnock, Rosemary Butcher, Wendy Houstoun, Emio Greco), he began his career as an interpreter, dancing for, among others, Claudia Castellucci /Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio, Alessandro Sciarroni, Liz Santoro, Iris Erez, Tabea Martin. He presented his works in many European festivals and venues (Rencontres choréographiques int. de Seine-Saint-Denis, Théatre de La Ville in Paris, Les Brigittines in Brussels, The Place Theater in London, Sala Hiroshima in Barcelona, Tanzhaus Zürich, Schaubühne in Leipzig, SESC Pompeia in Sao Paolo, Santarcangelo Festival, Romaeuropa, VIE Festival, Torinodanza, OperaEstate, among others).
