SMASH#7 Morning Training
experiential anatomy
Alessio Castellacci
This class approaches the moving body through elements of experiential anatomy - mapping our unique anatomy through sensorial observation and kinesthetic practice.
Each day we´ll focus on the structural and functional aspects of a specific section from the skeletal and muscular networks (pelvis, spine, ribcage, feet, psoas/diaphragm), working alone and in couples, from stillness to movement and back, looking for that quiet space for reflection where poetic images interchange fluidly with an understanding of body mechanics. We will be travellers of our own bodylandscape.

Alessio Castellacci Berlin) is a performer, teacher and sound composer based in Berlin. In the last ten years he has developed a pedagogical approach for voice & movement improvisation based on somatic work and self-observation, which he shares regularly with research groups throughout Europe. After graduating in Developmental Psychology at the Italian University, at 25 he approached contemporary dance by chance, moving soon after to the Netherlands to study experimental choreography at the Dance Maker BA/Artez, where he graduated in 2005. Since then he has collaborated as a performer, sound composer and voice mentor with different artists (Dani Brown, Tino Sehgal, Jeremy Wade, Piccoli Production, M.F. Scaroni, H.M.Kim, Sasha Waltz Kinder Tanz Company, Peter Pleyer, Morgan Nardi a.o.).
