Event ended

Danspunt provides a masterclass every year for people who want to use dance, body work and artistic education in schools and groups with diverse audiences.

Our guest this year is Segni mossi. In an intensive programme, Allesandro and Simona from Segni mossi will provide you with numerous ideas and forms of work. The emphasis in the training is the question: how can dance and drawing inspire and challenge each other?

Programme

Segni mossi training sessions are full of dance-drawing forms of work. Practical work is alternated with observation and the elaboration of methodology. The training sessions are intended for educators, dancers, visual artists, teachers interested in art education and people who are curious and ready to help groups of children, teenagers and adults experiment with dance-drawing, but they are above all an opportunity for gaining experience and personal development.

Segni Mossi offers a range of trainings. On Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5, 2025, they will come to Danspunt with the GREEN training, followed by a talk on arts education within a school context. You don’t have to take Segni Mossi classes in any particular order. They are individual sessions characterised by simplicity, rigour, play, exploration and collaboration.

 

GREEN training

We will build a map together, more to lose our way than to find it. We will walk in the dark. We will chase and be chased. We will turn and mark like ice skaters do. Tracks and dances will emerge, shades of white. But what does the yellow think? How does the red laugh? How does the blue sneeze? We will mark on swirling panels, dancing the multiverse, in flesh, bone and colour.

It tastes of exploration, adventure, pigments.

 

Issues

Maps; tracks in the dark; chasing traces; sign compositions; greyscale; dances in colour; multiverse.

For whom?

This workshop is for:

  • Dance teachers who want to think outside the box and dive into an experiment where dance and drawing meet.
  • Primary school teachers looking for fresh inspiration for their creative arts lessons.
  • Artists who are curious about how they can engage and work with children.
  • A background in drawing or dance is not required—only a willingness to experiment.

By whom?

Segni mossi is a research project that was started by Alessandro Lumareand the choreographer Simona Lobefaroin 2014 to explore the relationship between dance and graphic design with children and adults. They work with the Mus-e Italia organisation to encourage social inclusion by means of art in primary schools in Rome (Italy).

Since 2015 they have given training and workshops in more than 20 countries. They were selected by the HundrED organisation as one of the 100 most innovative educational projects in the world for the years 2017 and 2019.

Their goals when working with children and adults:

  • to valorise the sign and free it from any representative subordination
  • to become more confident in using our bodies as communicative tools
  • to explore the connection between the expressive qualities of body movement and the expressive qualities of the sign
  • to consider experimentation as a working method
  • to place more emphasis on the creative process rather than the result
  • to develop one’s ability to engage in group activities
  • to gain confidence in oneself and others
  • to value difference
  • to stimulate critical thinking and aesthetic feeling.
