INCUBATORE COREOGRAFICO C.I.M.D.

ERROR#1 + Idillio + Eigengrau

choreographies Martina Gambardella, Lorenzo Morandini, Giorgia Fusari

INCUBATORE C.I.M.D.

The project was started by Franca Ferrari, the founder of C.I.M.D. (international centre for movement and dance), who has always been active in the field of culture with a focus on contemporary dance and the future of choreographic research. INCUBATORE C.I.M.D. is aimed at supporting dancers who are finishing their training and are beginning their work as choreographers. The selected artists are going to establish a dialogue with three young well-established choreographers such as Marco D’Agostin, Daniele Ninarello and Davide Valrosso regarding ‘Body practices as a benchmark for one of the trends of contemporary language’.

MARTINA GAMBARDELLA

Born in Naples, she trained as a dancer at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds, and at the C.I.M.D. directed by Franca Ferrari in Milan. In Berlin she followed for a year the Axis Syllabus International Research Community Hub and she obtained her diploma in Developing Artistic Practice at the London Contemporary Dance School. She is currently an associated artist at CodedUomo Choreography and Research Centre and continues working on her personal pathway of choreographic research based on an endless reflection about inhabiting a space and ‘becoming other’, the transformation of the material body, at C.I.M.D. and the collective Cavadoras in Berlin.

LORENZO MORANDINI

He trained at the TNT in Turin and studied contemporary dance at the Trinity Laban in London with Marina Collard, Zoi Dimitriou and Julia Gleich among others. In 2018 he presented his performances at the Cattolica University in Milan and Più Che Danza! Festival. In 2019 he performed at the India Theatre in Rome and the Ecoismi project. He has been invited to present his choreographic project Idillio at festivals such as MilanOltre and Più che danza! Through Idillio he gained a residency at Movimento Danza in Naples and was awarded the second prize at Residanza 2019. He teaches contemporary dance in different venues in Trentino and throughout Italy.

GIORGIA FUSARI

She got her diploma at the C.I.M.D. directed by Franca Ferrari in Milan. In 2020 her work Eigengrau was selected by Anghiari Dance Hub. Her choreographies have been scheduled in many festivals such as Tendance, MilanOltre, Più Che Danza! and Ecoismi. She has been a performer with Franca Ferrari for the show Sorgente, with Ana Mazzei and Regina Parra for Ophelia, with GianMarco Porru for Senza Titolo (Molto vicino al cielo), with Giacomo Giannangeli for Preludio.

ERROR#1

choreography and dance Martina Gambardella

co-production with CodedUomo Choreography and Research

in cooperation with Fabbrica Europa

developed within Incubatore per futuri coreografi C.I.M.D.

ERROR#1 was born from the practice of the art of inhabiting the here and now, from intuitively picking details, which inform, regenerate and continuously expand the sense of being prsent, from a fleeting flow. While overcoming the difference between inside and outside, in the gap between the other and me, the body evolves and crosses boundaries recognizing its nature diffused and complex.

The work explores the complexity of being permeable, of resisting as a channel of transformation, permitting one to be touched, even moved and of the possibility to change, as if the idea of a fixed and fully formed self had dissolved. The living and extended nature of the perception leads the whole process and so the body is on alert, waiting for and pre-sensing the presence of the other.

Idillio, a solo under pressure where the body reacts to weight with purposeless reactions. It is a situation of crisis stemming from the overload of inputs and daily challenges, which inevitably leads to a break from reality and to separation. It is also a physical and emotional process leading to a new balance found through the research and the discovery of new definitions of calmness.

“All times are obscure for those who live in them” writes Giorgio Agamben in What Is the Contemporary?. Eigengrau starts from this sentence and develops through a series of questions: how do bodies move and interact in present times? What is separating them from objects?

Eigengrau means ‘one’s own light’ in German and the choreography develops from the exploration of two opposite concepts: confusion and clarity.
