As a part of the OFF VENUE program, WhyNot offers a workshop for professionals by Elisa Zuppini in Frascati about her fascinating movement practice. Read more about OFF VENUE here.
In this workshop, participants will be invited into the atmospheres of the night, post-clubbing states, and altered modes of presence, where anonymity, depersonalized embodiment, and heightened sensory awareness open emergent ways of perceiving relation and presence in movement. Drawing from Elisa Zuppini’s ensemble work "Disambiguation" - which premiered at Frascati Theater in May 2025 with fifteen dancers, coproduced by WhyNot - participants will be introduced to the principles of her movement practice of decentralized relational systems, imagining the body as a sensitive entity with redistributed control across multiple, movable centers.
After learning selected sequences from the choreography, they will be invited to re-compose and adapt the material through guided improvisations with the musical score of the piece. Together, participants will inhabit liminal and transitional spaces, where ambiguity becomes a generative force shaping tangible states of movement and collective presence.
This workshop is for professional dancers and people trained in movement. Please wear something comfortable (dancing is without shoes), and bring a water bottle or towel if you’d like.
