participatory performanceMarco TorriceMelting Pot Jam session
MAXXI L’Aquila, Via Vai stage
free admission subject to availability
A collective dance through which people can express joy, anger, sensuality and social frustration.
Melting Pot is a dance practice created with the idea of facilitating dialogue between dancers of different styles. It is a space where people can express their emotions, such as joy, anger, sensuality and social frustration. It also helps movement enthusiasts of all genders build their self-esteem and overcome shyness through a sense of unity and togetherness. Rhythm is very important in Melting Pot, as it acts as a ‘communication bridge’ and helps increase a sense of community.
Melting Pot mixes different approaches to performance. This includes the ‘Cypher’, an improvisational structure typical of Street Dance, with participatory performance, in which the audience and performers merge into the same function.
