CRISTINA CRIPPA

Cristina Crippa is an interdisciplinary artist and movement teacher based in Italy-Ireland. She discovered her passion for contact improvisation, composition, and improvisation during her studies in sculpture and painting at Brera Arts Academy. Her curiosity shifted her focus from the canvas to body-environment relationships.

She has danced contact since 2010 and taught since 2014.

Her current mission revolves around researching the power of collective and circular knowledge in a transdisciplinary way.

I have always been interested in the space between.
Between different fields of investigation, such as visual art, dance, and politics.
Between my body and other bodies, between the sense of gravity and levity that I perceive in my own cells, between my nervous system and other nervous systems, between inside and outside.

When do we feel this space as separate, and when does it become just one?
How can different qualities of touch modify the quality of this space?
What information can we read in this space, and how do we inform it?
How is dance affected by that? Can we let the space between guide our dance?

In this workshop, I would like to invite you to explore this space with me, with fun and joy, and whatever emerges.
