Alessandro Rivellino ’26

Description

Alessandro has visited Denmark a few times before, and participants have been raving for him to return. The workshop focuses on the forces of contact improv. We’re very proud and happy to open our doors to Alessandro again. This is a workshop about CI and gravity and what a body can do. Alessandros teaching opens up the field of CI in a playful and almost meditative way. We love his workshops and we think you will too.

Contact Improvisation is a practice that goes beyond the frontal cortex. We will engage with somatic practices that invite us to learn from the body itself, while enjoying the research realm of the improvisational field, with gravity as our main resource and reason to move.

We will explore how movement can arise through listening, sensing, and responding to what is happening in the moment. The workshop will blend material offered by the teacher with spaces for the practice to teach itself, allowing the research ground to reveal the form.

Some experience with CI is recommended. If you’re unsure if it’s for you, let’s have a chat.

Who is Alessandro?

I have been living dance and contact improvisation in a surrendered way as a dancer for 18 years and as a teacher for 12 (if I do not count my childhood experiences) and I had the opportunity to travel to 24 countries, offering and having classes, intensive courses, workshops, residencies and Jams with different and experienced colleagues, which probably gave me a good “floor” to start with ‘not knowing with certain quality’ …

I come from different dance schools at the somatic level and movement research, today I see that I have danced and taught a good part of my life and yet I feel that I have just started. In my practice I have been integrating various techniques and bringing the potential of dance to life. 

If I ask myself between my name and my body, the second one is the dearest, and if you ask about my deepest interest in dancing and teaching the answer would be around living questions related to dance itself, to the presence and to the Big Mystery.

I hope through this illusion of you and I being separated, we can drop it, and go beyond our hanging names to explore the in-between field of existence to dance and be danced with and through the visible and invisible forces entangled at each single moment and find the way to be at the arch of beauty.
