Muoversi per dislocamento: il corpo e i saperi danzanti

Abstract

The paper Moving to displacement: the body and the dancing knowledge was presented at the conference organized by the National Association DES - Dance Education Society in 2013 in Bologna. The conference, entitled The wisdom of insecurity. Dance, existence, resistance, proposed to investigate the predominant sense of insecurity in actual society from a bodily point of view and to identify possible openings and solutions in dance. My speech started relating some of the reasons of the actual sense of insecurity with the general lack of “making practice of experience”. In fact, any kind of experience is a concrete daily interaction with the physical, sensory and emotional human limitations. I suggested that the “experience of dancing” opens people to the unexpected and the unforeseen putting them in a perceptive and dynamic dialogue with the world.
