Laban Event 2016: dance and the spirit of the place “Genius loci”
"Dance is a cult given to the Genius Loci”
David Le Breton
LABAN EVENT 2016 reached its fourth edition and returns to the place, to the spirit of the place, to the Genius Loci.
We will investigate a further Laban’s principle in its contemporary aspect concerning the phenomenology of dance, the body-place relationship, the communication between individuals, the geometry of dance with Living Architecture.
LABAN EVENT at Monte Verità - historical place of experimentation - offers to the professionals and non-professional moments of encounter and exchange around the different themes of the dance - educative, therapeutic, choreological, archeochoreological, philosophical, anthropological, performative. With the hope to embody and reinforce a philosophy of peace through the union with oneself and with others, with dance, for the dance.
