Didi Dance is an experimental movement practice created by Diletta Brancatelli (aka Didi), combining
her experience as a dancer, choreographer, performer and Yoga Dance Teacher.
Derived from the diminutive of her name, it is the result of studies in the fields of contemporary
dance, yoga, floorwork, instant composition, contact improvisation, cinema, and artistic research.
The exploration of movement begins with a meditative approach and a deep listening to psychophysical
feelings, in which the body requires constant attention, sensitivity, kindness, time, and
care. Only then can it become a reactive, ready, strong, energetic body, capable of continuous
evolution.
The proposed practice is therefore a journey that begins with an intimate, introspective and
meditative exploration of the body, then gives rise to dances and movement sequences in space,
stimulating anatomical potential and qualities, moving increasingly toward a creative and
performative direction.
An intelligent, sensitive, perceptive body is aware of its possibilities and potential only when
supported by a free, creative, and light mind. The body and mind support each other in
a continuous exchange, in a constant vibrant dialogue between losing and finding oneself,
between dream and reality.
DIDI DANCE is a courageous training in which the balance of body-mind-spirit is at the center of
the research; it’s the foundation upon which this practice rests, in which creativity is perceived as
the most important resource we have for dancing.
Drawing on various body techniques, the practice aims to be a collective journey that brings out
both vulnerability and strength, seeking to find a sense of freedom in the constant imbalance of
our bodies and our lives.
The practice is open to dancers, performers, but also to amateurs with significant experience in
bodywork and, in general, to all dreamers with a mind and body brave enough to dive into the
wonderful world of creativity.
