POETRY IN US
Experiential workshop of contact improvisation with
Ippokratis Veneris
In this workshop we will not deal with memories (childhood or later), with our aspirations, habits or ways of thinking and acting consolidated in us.
In this workshop we will not take care of our mind and how it shaped us, but we will take care of ourselves.
We will work on re-tuning our body.
We will explore our senses (smell, touch, hearing, taste, sight) and their relationship with the nature.
Empowering those senses, we can reactivate-reopen parts of our body, of our being and create greater harmony within ourselves.
We will work on our body, the reactivation of its nature (mutilated and damaged in us during and after childhood).
Trees, flowers, animals, planets, colors, light, shapes, smells, tastes. All nature around us breathes, vibrates, lives and interacts.
We will work on our bodies and how we can reactivate the vibrant nature in us, on how we can recognize-feel the nature around us and feel part of.
In this workshop, our body will “think” for us, will narrate us its story, its nature and will offer us its wisdom.
It will be a work of cleaning and simplicity. Rather than being only creatures of our mind and of our civilization we will try to be part of the creation, of the universe, of the poetry around us, of the poetry inside us and we will act in harmony with it.
Each day there will be:
– 3 hours (in dance floor and in the nature) of experiential work, improvisation work on the senses, gamble, listen-attention-action, fantasy, body vibration, harmony between being and acting, simplicity, cleanliness, interaction of our nature with the nature of the place and more.
– 3 hours of technique class (in dance floor) where we will explore issues such as: body liquidity, lightness, listening, communication, fly high and fly in medium level technique, floor work, the lack of effort in our dance, simplicity in our movements, organic movements and more.
–jam every night.

Ippokratis Veneris
Born and raised in Knossos on Crete, his childhood was populated both by the direct contact with the sea and from the myths of the place. Playing in the colourful and varied palace of Minos in the labyrinth and growing with the myths of Icarus, Daedalus and those of Theseus, Ariadne and of Minotaur his imaginary life was influenced a lot from this intensive experience.
Choreographer, dancer, improviser, teacher and curator of courses, master classes and other events relating to art.
He studied for five years Classic Guitar at the Conservatory of Heraklion.
After studying for some years, ballet and african dance, he explored the study of the release technique, the technique of Dupuy and acrobatic dance. He decided to devote his energies to the study of dance, physical theatre, choreography, direction and the study of contact improvisation, so lately he participated in numerous workshops both in Italy and in Germany, France, Czech Republic, Belgium and Greece.
