Istituita nel 1982 dall’International Dance Council dell’Unesco, la Giornata Mondiale della Danza celebra l’arte del movimento come un patrimonio non solo artistico ma anche e soprattutto come una risorsa utile allo sviluppo dell’essere umano.
La giornata prevede una serie di workshop gratuiti, rivolti sia a chi conosce il linguaggio della danza che a chi vi si avvicina per la prima volta e vuole saperne di più. E’ questa un’occasione per esplorare discipline, in cui il movimento è proposto come un mezzo per conoscere qualcosa in più di se’.
Durante la giornata verrà condotta anche una lezione aperta coi bambini della scuola elementare A. Cecchi di Paperino, che ha aderito al progetto MUS-e.
La giornata terminerà con MOTION EMERGE NOTIONS lo spettacolo nato durante il Progetto Wassermann, un percorso di ricerca che cinque coreografi provenienti da regioni diverse, hanno intrapreso durante tutto il 2014, guidati dalla coreografa giapponese Noriko Kato.
Il progetto, unico nel suo genere,rappresenta un segno importante per la danza italiana, in cui le connessioni e la collaborazione fra compagnie sono ancora molto rare e difficili.

Thirty spokes joined at one hub;
emptiness makes the cart useful.
Clay cast into a pot;
the emptiness inside makes it useful.
Doors and windows cut to make a room;
emptiness make the room useful.
Thus being is beneficial
but usefulness comes from the void.

(Lao-Tzu)

EmptyFull is a work on absence as essence, possibility and space.
Emptiness falls in its horizontality and softness, space to fill with space, in which one can move in a carefree state.
The fullness of the void and the strength of absense.
