STARDUST: An introduction to the “Axis Syllabus” with Italian dancer Nuvola Vandini

Astronomer Carl Sagan informed us in poetic words that we humans are also part of the nature of the world. "We are made of stardust," said Sagan. The philosopher M. M. Ponty said it in other words: we are made of the same flesh as the world.
Our body, the temporary result of an infinite evolutionary process, brings with it geometries, dynamics, shapes, materials that also belong to many other bodies that make up the world albeit with genera and species different from ours. Approaching movement, this consideration opens us up to observing our architecture, finding similarities with many other architectures, and discovering that we too respond to the same rules to which many other bodies respond, gravity is certainly the first of these laws. During this workshop, we will observe some principles of universal movement, and we will use them to retrace the basic movement coordinations that we can find in many everyday situations, as well as in many folk and contemporary dance styles. 
The analysis of movement through the Axis Syllabus archive will serve as a tool for us to find joy, efficiency and grace in dancing together.
