The workshop "The Subtle Body | Fluidity in Scenic Improvisation" (2025), supported by Casa Hoffmann – Center for Movement Studies, emerges from the continuous desire to connect physical research with the investigation of somatic practices, recognizing the importance of this intertwining.

The proposal focuses — though not exclusively — on developing floor work and inversions as a way to connect with gravity while simultaneously challenging one’s relationship with it. Considering improvisation as an approach, different concepts are presented that allow participants to deepen their physicality, accessing more intimate perceptions that nourish movement.

The interest goes beyond form and also turns to sensory perceptions, which enable access to subtler layers of the moving body — layers that reveal themselves and guide the dance toward a more refined and sensitive expression.

Proposers: Ádia Anselmi and Antoni Androulakis.
