23–31 August Deep Touch Complete Training 

Eve­ry sti­mu­lus, even the most imper­cep­ti­ble, trig­gers an adap­ti­ve respon­se in our body aimed at resto­ring balan­ce. This pro­cess mani­fests itself in par­ti­cu­lar in some body tis­sues, gene­ra­ting impul­ses in the muscles and join­ts. Thus a gestu­re is born, a move­ment dee­ply con­nec­ted to what gene­ra­tes it.

Sti­mu­li can come from three sour­ces:

• Inter­nal: lin­ked to hea­ling pro­ces­ses and body aware­ness.
  Com­mu­ni­ca­tion with one’s body, under­stan­ding, liste­ning and tru­sting in its intel­li­gen­ce.
• Men­tal: lin­ked to inten­tion and qua­li­ty.
  Cohe­ren­ce bet­ween mind and body to make move­ment less tiring, sup­por­ted and acti­va­te what is com­mon­ly per­cei­ved as “pre­sen­ce”
• Exter­nal: influen­ces such as touch, sounds or sur­roun­ding envi­ron­men­ts.
  Con­nec­tion with spa­ce, ano­ther body or with more sub­tle essen­ces for a very con­cre­te and repea­ta­ble rela­tion­ship and inter­con­nec­tion.

This respon­se phe­no­me­non, inti­ma­te­ly rela­ted to Fascial Move­ment, has a pro­found impact on the well-being, evo­lu­tion and crea­ti­ve pro­cess of the per­son. The semi­nar aims to gui­de par­ti­ci­pan­ts towards a clear and con­scious per­cep­tion of the move­ment of tis­sues, so that they can also be inte­gra­ted with other tech­ni­ques such as yoga, dan­ce, dif­fe­rent types of mas­sa­ge, thea­ter, etc.

The prac­ti­ce of Inter­nal Touch is struc­tu­red in two ways:

1. Per­so­nal: indi­vi­dual prac­ti­ce to explo­re the qua­li­ty of fascial move­ment sub­ject to dif­fe­rent sti­mu­li.
2. In pairs or groups: a shared expe­rien­ce in which sup­port can be given or recei­ved.
   In the prac­ti­ce in pairs, the com­pa­nion faci­li­ta­tes the move­ment of the prac­ti­tio­ner throu­gh liste­ning and sup­port, thus expan­ding the expe­rien­ce to a rela­tio­nal dimen­sion and crea­ti­ve explo­ra­tion (second video).

The trai­ning pro­vi­des dan­cers, actors and body-wor­kers with an effec­ti­ve tool for impro­vi­sa­tion and for the evo­lu­tion of their own body per­cep­tion, but it is sui­ta­ble for eve­ryo­ne and does not requi­re par­ti­cu­lar pre­vious expe­rien­ce.

MICHELE MARCHESANI
He began his work on the body in 1996 throu­gh the stu­dy of Shia­tsu (of which he is cur­ren­tly a prac­ti­tio­ner with his own pri­va­te stu­dio and tea­cher at the Shia­tsu-Shin­Tai School). He sub­se­quen­tly dee­pe­ned his tech­ni­que by stu­dy­ing Shin­Tai, Fascia, Cha­kras, Acti­va­tion of the Body of Light (Light Body Yoga) and nume­rous other holi­stic approa­ches.
In 2003 he syn­the­si­zed the “Deep Touch”, a body tech­ni­que of move­ment and per­cep­tion of which he holds work­shops and trai­ning cour­ses.
In 2004, tea­ching Deep Touch at an Inter­na­tio­nal Dan­ce Festi­val, he disco­ve­red Con­tact Impro­vi­sa­tion, which he fol­lo­ws as a stu­dent, event orga­ni­zer and inter­na­tio­nal tea­cher. His research has led him over the years to wri­te nume­rous arti­cles until the publi­ca­tion of “Soma­tics of Con­tact Impro­vi­sa­tion” avai­la­ble in Ita­lian and English.
In paral­lel to the work on the body, he faces, with the same curio­si­ty and dedi­ca­tion of a resear­cher, a deep pas­sion for music. He explo­res with inte­re­st, focu­sing abo­ve all on the impro­vi­sa­tio­nal aspec­ts, the inter­wea­ving and inte­rac­tions of sound with other forms of arti­stic expres­sion.

FILIPPO SERRA
Filip­po Ser­ra, gra­dua­ted in Sports Scien­ce and a life­long move­ment enthu­sia­st, has stu­died mar­tial arts for over twen­ty years in Euro­pe and Asia. His pas­sion is expres­sed throu­gh con­tem­po­ra­ry dan­ce, thea­ter, and Con­tact Impro­vi­sa­tion. Today, he divi­des his time bet­ween wor­king as a dan­cer and mime in major Ger­man and Ita­lian ope­ra thea­ters and as a trai­ner, spe­cia­li­zed in func­tio­nal trai­ning for anyo­ne loo­king to impro­ve their phy­si­cal per­for­man­ce and ove­rall health.
