Campania, Basilicata, Puglia
Join our caravan of dancers, traveling through the ancient landscapes of South Italy.
Land Dance invites you to discover the Mediterranean islands of Ischia and Sicilia, to dance in the mountains of Tito, and to meet dancers and musicians from Southern cities of Napoli and Bari.
Next journey is October 2023, Land Dance on tour with site specific performances, labs and workshops
LAND DANCE is an adventurous journey into local environments, into dance and music. We connect through the body, to each other, to the elements of nature, to the history of the lands, present, past and future.
We work with instant composition, dance improvisation and contact improvisation.
Land Dance project sets out to make new friends and networks across Europe. We offer workshops, explorations and performances, co-creation projects with local and international performers and musicians.
In South Italy, we visit the original homes of Italian dancers and performers Antonio Buono and Rosella De Rosa, and musician Luca Tomasicchio.
We BEGIN the journey in Napoli, a 3.000 years old city, theatrical and emotional, the neighbour volcano Vesuvio alive and breathing.
We CONTINUE by boat to Ischia, a small subtropical island. Here we work in a local theatre and in nature, dance in the ocean and hot springs, and end with a performance at the Torrione Tower.
RETURNING to the mainland, we travel to the village of Tito, to dance in mountains and forest, encounter local artists and shamans, and the traditional bakery of the Buono family.
From here WE MOVE to the cultural city of Bari, Luca’s hometown, to enjoy performative experiences in the city and explore historical sites.
