duration: 15 minutes

Decisione consapevole stems from an exercise developed to guide improvisation sessions for which a conceptual map of 4 key words was created: isolation, communication, intimacy and community. By selecting among these keywords, thus respecting the boundaries that limit the range of decisions and create consistency and homogeneity, the performers start out dressed in a single outfit and propose their actions in the space. Using this same pattern, Tedesco started from the improvisation of the performers who were asked to choose and interpret each time one of the key words. What emerged was then analysed and reworked to select and name the parts to be considered for the construction of the piece. The NID Platform organisation was offered the creation on the word “isolation”, in which the dancer takes over the stage space and although initially free to do so following her own instincts, she then comes to interpret an absolutely worked and fixed choreography.
