Moving away from pure performative dance, this work presents a series of dance sequences as if they were exercises or training in which the dancer, starting with some techniques and methods of American Modern and Postmodern dance from which he himself comes, articulates them and projects them into the future in free and experimental possibilities of development. Fabrizio Favale (aged 53) returns to dance a choreographic work in the form of a solo, which focuses on techniques (not on the choreographies) devised and fine-tuned in particular by Merce Cunningham and José Limón and on some of the dance methods of Trisha Brown (who has never codified a specific technique). Danze Americane aims to collect and explore the legacies of those practices, in an investigation and rediscovery of dynamic, qualitative, compositional, and postural contents. Constructing and deconstructing sequences, architectures and articulation complexities of body movements, the dancer, through “live” experimentation, seeks from time to time the nodes that allow for possible evolutions, suggestions and drifts. The work presents a total of 7 sequences, 2 of which were developed from Trisha Brown’s methods, 4 from the Cunningham technique, and 1 from the Limón technique.
